Bungaree Station
A merino sheep station founded in 1841, with its woolshed, homestead and chapel preserved. Visitors can tour the site and stay in the historic cottages.
Established in 1841 by the Hawker brothers, this historic station once ran tens of thousands of merino sheep. The estate has preserved its homestead, council chamber, stables, woolshed, shearers' quarters and a small chapel. It is among the best-preserved groups of early pastoral buildings in South Australia. The station is still run by the same family, and you can join a guided tour or explore on your own. Some of the old cottages have been converted into accommodation. It lies about 12 km north of Clare, and guided tours must be booked in advance.
