Avondale Agricultural Research Station
Avondale Agricultural Research Station, Agricultural research station in Beverley, Western Australia
The facility spans across 1,740 acres where the Dale River meets the Avon River, featuring research laboratories, historic buildings, and experimental farming areas.
The station originated from land granted to Captain James Stirling and Captain Mark Currie in 1836, later becoming Avondale Estate before transferring to agricultural research in 1924.
The station maintains a machinery museum established during Western Australia's 1979 sesquicentennial celebrations, displaying the evolution of farming equipment through generations.
Researchers at the station conduct experiments on crop cultivation, sheep health, and sustainable farming practices, providing valuable data for Western Australian agriculture.
Dr. Harold Bennetts developed a groundbreaking vaccine for sheep diseases at this station during the 1930s through research on Bacillus ovitoxicus.
