People that live & breathe Hamelin

Welcome to Hamelin Station Reserve, nestled in the rangelands of Western Australia, where the stunning beauty of the landscape conceals an urgent need for conservation.

For the vulnerable endemic species found on Hamelin, the old saying “it’s a small world” couldn’t be more apt. With suitable habitat a precious rarity, careful land management could offer a better future for these threatened creatures.

Over billions of years, a complex interaction between climate and environment at Hamelin Pool has created the miracle of ‘living fossils’ called stromatolites. These extraordinary natural monuments contain microbes similar to those found in 3,500-million-year-old fossils – the earliest record of life on Earth.

On a property as big as our Hamelin Reserve, challenges abound. But with your help, our team of land managers and ecologists will work together with our neighbours, partners and volunteers to revitalise the landscape.

Hamelin Station Reserve (WA) is already a hive of research activity. Its location and unique ecological values have put it on the scientific map. But this is just the beginning.

For more than 130 years Hamelin Station Reserve has been a pastoral station, home to sheep and goats. Its new future as a conservation property meant removing stock. A lot of it. Brian Wake and Jock Isdale were the men for the job.
