Bullara Station season booms after cyclone recovery
Bullara Station near Exmouth wrapped a better-than-expected tourism season seven months after Cyclone Narelle's devastating floods.
Bullara Station is a sprawling 100,000-hectare cattle and tourist property north of Perth. In March, Cyclone Narelle dumped more than two metres of water across the station.
The cyclone destroyed infrastructure and left owners without clean water or power for weeks. Owner Edwina Shallcross and her team rebuilt and reopened to tourists within weeks.
This showed remarkable resilience. As the season closed, the station sent the last cattle to market in excellent condition.
Shallcross said the healthy herd and lush regrowth showed nature's recovery. The region got the much-needed rain.
The silver linings proved real.
