Fraser Range Station
Fraser Range Station is a pastoral lease and sheep station located about 100 kilometres (62 mi) east of Norseman in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.
First visited in 1870 by John and Alexander Forrest on their expedition to Adelaide, the property has a length of 160 kilometres (99 mi) and occupies an area of approximately 500,000 acres (2,023 km2).[1]
Located on the western fringe of the Nullabor Plain the station largely bears little resemblance to the Nullabor proper. Dense Eucalypt hardwood forest dominates much of the area.[2] The trees grow to a height of 20 metres (66 ft) to 30 metres (98 ft) and are surrounded by a dense undergrowth. From the gumtrees the granite Fraser range rises, the highest point being Mount Pleasant which has an elevation of 679 metres (2,228 ft).[3]
The Dempster brothers were the first settlers on the station and arrived in 1872.
