REMEMBER being urged to Wander out Yonder and discover new holiday destinations in your own backyard? Farm Weekly happily took the advice of the State's tourism body and visited the then fledgling Bullara station stay, an immersive holiday destination in the Gascoyne region. Four years ago, COVID-19 changed the face of international and domestic travel, regional lockdowns restricted movements of people out of their towns, and WA's 'Wander out Yonder' tourism campaign was spawned. The WA population was not able to scoot up to the tropical south east Asian destinations that had become their favoured spots, so they took the sage advice proffered by the tourism body and traipsed to every corner of WA, discovering hidden gems among the vast distances - places they probably would never have experienced if not for the unprecedented circumstances worldwide.
Situated about 1200 kilometres north of Perth, on the Exmouth Gulf, 90km south of Exmouth and 69km from Coral Bay, Bullara station embarked on its journey to build its brand by offering access to the world as it exists on a remote north west cattle station, that is a stone's throw away from the internationally renowned Ningaloo Reef and all the wonders of snorkelling, swimming with whale sharks and seeing baby turtles hatch. Bullara station couples the station life immersion with an expansive array of accommodation styles, nature inspired/alternative open air bathrooms, burger nights, long table dinners under the stars, selling it.
