Description:
Pyramid Station is a pastoral lease and cattle station located approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) east of Karratha in the Pilbara region. Covering an area of 97,000 hectares (239,692 acres), the station is situated in a BTV quarantine area and runs a herd of Brahman cattle. The station consists mostly of open plains that are well covered in Mitchell, Bundle-bundle and other grasses. The plains are interspersed with broken hilly country studded with saltbush. The homestead and outbuildings are situated on a flat treeless plain overlooking the George River from the eastern bank. King's Pyramid, the 500 feet (152 m) hill from which the station takes its name, is located 9 miles (14 km) to the south. A belt of white trunked river gums marks the course of the George River. Pyramid Station is a 1 hour drive east of Karratha. Karratha is a 2 hour flight or 16 hour flight north of Perth.
