Bungaree Station is a beautiful rural property situated 140 kms from Adelaide in the Clare Valley. Established in 1841, it became the headquarters of an extensive sheep station with 100 thousand merino sheep by the 1880s. It was like a small village, with its beautiful sandstone Homestead, Woolshed, Shearers Quarters, Stable Yard, Station Store, Managers House, staff cottages and even the District Council Chambers and a Church. Today, some 160 years later, it is an efficient mixed farm run by the descendents of the original founder, G.C. Hawker. Consequently Bungaree Station is not a museum, but rather a living record of rural Australia since 1841.

For small groups and individuals, we offer audio tours which enable visitors to explore the historic station complex, including the Station Store, Homestead Gardens, St Michael's Church and the Woolshed. Be rewarded at the end of the tour with a complimentary morning or afternoon tea.

For bus groups, we offer guided tours of the historic station complex, giving visitors a wonderful insight into 19th century station life. Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea can be arranged by prior request.
