Located in Cape York Peninsula Australia, the Homestead is south-east of Weipa – 140 km by road or 75 km by air.

Sitting on over 200 thousand acres, Watson River station is a sight to be seen. We breed high-quality Brahman Cross Cattle and Australian Stock Horses. Significant resources have been committed to the establishment of our nucleus breeding herd on Watson River with the emphasis on quality, quietness, and good herd management practices.

We have machinery for hire and seasonal employment opportunities.

Our Paddock to Plate page contains information on our meat production practices. Here you can get to know the entire process behind your food and make healthy informed decisions into what you eat.
