Ettrick Station is a pastoral lease that was once a sheep station but now operates as a cattle station in Western Australia.
Ettrick Station
Location in Western Australia
The station was established prior to 1872 when the townsite of Condon was surveyed as a port to service the growing number of pastoral stations developed along the De Grey River, including Ettrick, Warrawagine, Warralong, Congan, Muccan, Yarrie, and Mulyie Stations.[1]
In 1923 the property was sold twice in a week. The first sale was from G. L. Hardie, Stewart and Company to Corbett and Holthouse of Muccan Station, and Frank Young, of Adelaide. The price was approximately £28,000. Shortly afterwards it was sold to the De Grey Pastoral Company Ltd., at an increased figure.[2]
