FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
MOUNT HART HOMESTEAD
Initially, Mount Hart Station was government-owned land leased out for livestock grazing.
The ruggedness and remoteness of the area meant that Mount Hart had various owners from 1914 to 1987, all of whom struggled to make cattle viable.
Draughts and floods meant the homestead was relocated several times over the years. The heritage homestead that accommodates visitors today was built in 1960.
Eventually, Mount Hart was declassified as a viable pastoral lease and the area was reclassified as part of the Leopold Conservation Park in 2000.
PRESERVING HISTORY
Around the property, there are countless remnants of the property's past owners, all of whom added to its uniqueness.
In 2022, Mount Hart was acquired by new owners who have a unique vision for the property, with an aim to preserve as much history as possible.
What makes Mount Hart a truly unique and unquestionable Kimberley destination is the stronghold it has on the land it resides on. Due to its long and dramatic history in the Kimberley, Mount Hart has become part of the region and is known to many locals and visitors alike..
Join us at Mount Hart and not only will you connect with nature, but you’ll have an opportunity to connect with the history of the property.
