Barn Hill Station WA

We arrived at Barn Hill Station for a one night stop. We had been told about it by other travellers including the Sunday roast dinner. We are still here 3 days later. And we are playing bridge this afternoon with some people we found!

Barn Hill is situated on Thangoo Station which is a working cattle station 135 kms south of Broome. The property stretches 85 kms along the coast between Broome and Port Hedland on approx 430,000 acres. They run 8,000 head of Brahman cattle which are marketed to the live export trade through the port of Broome.

They have a sideline in the campsite which has a capacity of about 100 powered sites and another 100+ of unpowered. It is a wonderful spot and people come here for the winter.

A view of the beach. We walked to the second furtherest point this morning.

This is the view of the gathering for the weekly Sunday roast dinner. You get a three course dinner for $15 and a great Aboriginal family band playing music to which you can - and we did - dance.

The soup being ladelled out. And it was hot, just how I like it. It was a great night of food and entertainment.
