Pippingarra Station is a pastoral lease that once operated as a sheep station and now operates as a cattle station, located 25km (16miles) south east of Port Hedland and 125km (78miles) north west of Marble Bar in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
The station formed as a pastoral company in 1901 and for decades had one of the largest herds of sheep in the Pilbara.[1]
The name of the station is taken from a well located within the area that was used as a resting place for travellers and stock.[2]
In 1904 the station was owned by T. Richardson.[3]
The lease for the property is currently held by the Western Australian Aboriginal Lands Trust and operated by the traditional owner groups of the area, the Ngarla, Njamal and Karriyarra.[4]
