DescriptionIt is situated about {{convert|71|km|mi|0}} north east of Carnarvon and {{convert|137|km|mi|0}} south of Coral Bay in the Gascoyne region. The station is bordered to the south by Boolathana Station, to the north by Minilya Station and to the east by Cooralya Station.[1] Lake MacLeod forms the western boundary of the station.[2] The property occupies an area of {{convert|741|km2|sqmi|0}}, of which {{convert|653|km2|sqmi|0}} is described as being in good or fair condition. It has a carrying capacity of 10,500 sheep. The country is mostly alluvial plains with duplex soils and many sandy rises. The vegetation is mixed shrubland of currant bush, many acacias and some Gascoyne bluebush. The western portion of the station is made up of flat, saline alluvial plains that support salt bush, blue bush and taller acacia species.[2] HistoryBoologoroo was established in 1894 by Robert Campbell. Campbell had previously taken up Beringarra Station in 1881 before acquiring Boologooroo.[3] By 1906 the property was owned by Harry Campbell.[4] Robert Campbell died of heart failure in 1909[3] with Harry taking full ownership of Boologooroo. A thunderstorm struck the station in 1911 with the windmill near the homestead being destroyed by the winds. {{Convert|1.5|in|mm|0}} of rain fell in just over an hour and the temperature dropped from {{convert|112|F|C|0}} to {{convert|70|F|C|0}} in forty minutes.[5] In 1923 the area was struck by a cyclone with Boologooroo receiving {{Convert|12|in|mm|0}} over a few days.[6] The area of the property in 1924 was {{convert|183000|acre|ha|0}}[7] and had a flock of 23,000 sheep in 1925.[8] The body of Jack Smith was found in the woolshed in an advanced state of decomposition in 1932. Smith had enquired about work of the station but then committed suicide in the shed.[9] See also
