- Bowes_Station abstract "Bowes Station is a pastoral lease and sheep station located in the Mid West region of Western Australia.Situated approximately 90 kilometres (56 mi) to the south-east of Kalbarri and 84 kilometres (52 mi) to the west of Mullewa.The station was established in 1850 by William Burges and his brother Lockier, when they applied for land in the newly discovered Champion Bay district. He moved from his property, Tipperary near York and by 1857 was grazing sheep on 93,000 acres.In 1860 Burges bought rams descended from the royal flock of George II in 1860. He settled them at Bowes and later took them to Yuin Station.At some point Thomas Burges the nephew of William acquired the property for William had never married.Thomas' son William Burges was born on the station in December 1865 and following his schooling at the Belvedere School in London and then Hale School in Perth returned to the property to manage Bowes until he retired in about 1912. Burges died in 1942.In 1869, a 15-year-old Edward Wittenoom worked as a jackaroo at Bowes, and was joined by his brother Frank in 1874. The Wittenooms went on to acquire over 2 million acres in crown leases including Boolardy, Murgoo, Nookawarra and Mileura Stations.Following good conditions in 1869, rams cut out at an average of 18½lb. of wool each on Bowes. Feed was heavy on the ground that same year causing kangaroos to breed up in large numbers and act as a pest to the squatters.Mr J. A. Wellington managed the station from the 1870s for Burges and remained in the area until his death in 1904. Burges and his wife left for a 15-month holiday to Europe and the United States returning to the property in August 1908.In 1874 the Wittenooms took 15,000 sheep from Bowes to establish Yuin Station.A shearer, William John Pearce, went missing in 1896 after going for a walk in the bush. Mr W. Burges informed the police and then the contable, an Aboriginal tracker and several other shearers formed a search party to find him. After three days no trace of Pearce was found.Large bushfires swept across the area in 1900 with many paddocks at Bowes being lost to the flames.In 1902 the Land Board sat and resumed a total of 5,540 acres (2,242 ha), split into at least 6 blocks, from the station area for other selectors. Burges applied for Block 1 but was unsuccessful and the block was given to E. Sims who had an adjoining selection.S. L. Burges sold 7,000 sheep from Bowes in 1914 following a very dry season in the district.".
