My place was the adjoining Cobra Station and my homestead was originally the Bangamall Pub.
Two-thirds of Mt Augustus was in the Cobra lease and I was the person who first lobbied WA Govt to declare it a National Park back in the late 1970's. Now the whole station and a couple of others have been resumed and are currently reserved CL.
Don Hammerquist and his two brothers had just purchased Mt Augustus Station and Don helped me with my first muster. Sadly, the government guys have apparently closed all the artificial waters which would have killed a great number of wildlife - birds, mammals and reptiles.
It was pretty wild there back then, but I loved it and miss it still.
