Murchison Region

The Murchison Region is vast and sparsely populated, consisting mostly of pastoral leases and the wild outback. There are no formal towns, only stations and a shire office. Residents treasure the wetlands at Wooleen Station where thousands of birds gather after rains, a remarkable oasis in an arid landscape. They also take visitors to steep cliffs at a breakaway called Errabiddy Bluff, offering panoramic views over endless plains without any sign of human habitation.
