DescriptionThe homestead is located about {{convert|58|km|mi|0}} south east of Onslow and {{convert|75|km|mi|0}} south west of Panawonica in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The property adjoins the coastline and the town of Onslow. Peedamulla is the Indigenous Australian word meaning plenty water.[1] The Cane River runs through the property, with the entire river delta found within the station boundaries. The delta is severely degraded as a result of overgrazing.[2] The majority of the property is composed of spinifex country with areas of cracking clays found on the eastern side.[2] HistoryThe Ashburton Land District was opened up for pastoral leases after the explorations of Francis Thomas Gregory in the 1860s.[1] The Peedamulla leases, originally known as Peedamullah, were taken over by Edmund and Archibald Burt in the early 1880s.[1][2] In 1922 the Burts put up a portion of the station for auction. A total of {{convert|220000|acre|ha|0}}, of which {{convert|160000|acre|ha|0}} was fenced, was put on the market. The area included parts of the Cane River, including one permanent pool as well as five wells.[3] The {{convert|621000|acre|ha|0|adj=on}} station was sold in 1928 for £60,000 carrying a flock of 30,000 to 35,000 sheep.[4] The property was acquired by Messrs. Banard, Brandi, W. Montgomery and McManus,[5] who had formed the Peedamulla Pastoral Company.[6] In 1930 the property was on the market again, advertised as having an area of {{convert|721309|acre|ha|0}} and stocked with 34,000 sheep. The property has an area of {{convert|605000|acre|ha|0}} enclosed in sheep proof fencing and subdivided into 32 paddocks equppied with 35 wells with windmills and troughs.[7] In 1932 the property was in the hands of liquidators and still for sale.[8] It was acquired by Cornelius McManus and W Montgomery later the same year.[1] In 1924 the area was struck by a cyclone, with 40 windmills being destroyed at Peedamulla. Drought followed, resulting in further stock losses.[1] Alexander Edward Hardie acquired Peedamulla[9] in 1937[10] for £19,522.[1] Firstly Hardie's son, Byron, managed the station then G. Herbert took over in 1942.[1] Herbert later leased a part of Peedamulla which became Cane River Station. The Hardie family still owned the property in 1955 when it was managed by Arthur Roland.[11] By 1961 the landholding had been reduced down to {{convert|156000|ha|acre|0}} following resumption of lands for the Onslow town water supply. A cyclone hit the same year followed by another in 1963 with both causing damage to the buildings and loss of livestock. The Hardies sold the property in the 1970s to Moira and Neville MacDonald for {{AUD}}70,000, then three years later the MacDonalds sold it to the Commonwealth Government, stocked with 28,000 sheep, to be used by Aboriginal people of the region.[1] The Parker family have managed the property since 1985 and have developed a joint venture with the Ashburton Aboriginal Corporation to use the property as a training centre for Aboriginal people of the Pilbara.[12] The homestead ruin has been assessed for heritage status[13] due to the connection with the prominent Western Australian Burt family.[14][15] See also
