Fossil Downs Station, Heritage cattle station in Fitzroy Crossing region, Western Australia.
Fossil Downs Station sits at the convergence of Margaret and Fitzroy Rivers, extending over 4,000 square kilometers of pastoral landscape.
The MacDonald brothers established the station in 1886 after driving their cattle 5,600 kilometers from eastern Australia to stock the newly acquired lease.
The station maintains a connection with the Muludja Aboriginal community of 100 residents who reside within the property boundaries.
The station functions as an active cattle operation, contributing to Western Australia's beef industry through its extensive grazing lands and livestock management.
The property takes its name from the Gogo Formation limestone outcrops containing preserved ancient animal and plant remains within the station grounds.
