Wogarno Station is a beautiful working sheep station owned by David and Lesley-Jane Campbell.
The property boasts 152,000 acres of magical outback, where you can be part of the daily life or simply relax and revitalise yourself. The station is in the Murchison region of Western Australia, ideally situated just 15km off the Great Northern Highway, 540km north of Perth or 55km south of the historic gold-mining town of Mount Magnet. It is named after Wogarno Hill, a sprawling granite mass rising to 1,460 feet above sea level, situated just a few kilometres from the station homestead.

FROM PERTH/SOUTH WEST

Travel north along Great Northern Highway through New Norcia, Dalwallinu and Wubin. (We advise motorists to refuel at Wubin as this is the last reliable fuel supply south of Mount Magnet). As you pass the tavern at Paynes Find reset your trip meter as our turnoff is exactly 105km from Paynes Find. Our turnoff is to your left, marked by a blue hospitality sign approximately 250m past a highway speed marker sign.

FROM GERALDTON

Travel east along the Geraldton-Mt Magnet Road until you get to a T-junction with the Great Northern Highway 2km south of Mount Magnet. Turn right onto the highway and head south for approximately 38km when you will see our turnoff to your right. The turnoff is marked by a blue hospitality sign.

FROM THE NORTH WEST

Travel south along Great Northern Highway and go through Mount Magnet. Our turnoff is approximately 40km south of town where you will see our turnoff to your right. The turnoff is marked by a blue hospitality sign.

Once you are on the gravel access road

You have 15km to go until you reach the homestead. The road is well maintained and in good condition but care should be taken especially as kangaroos, emus, goats and sheep may be on the road. After approximately 12km you will come to a fork in the road where you should veer left.
Once you reach the homestead paddock head right towards the homestead which you will be able to clearly see.
