Marlee & Franz Ranacher welcome you into their home and relish the opportunity to share their stories and encourage guests to participate in all that Bullo has to offer.

Bullo River Station was made famous by top-selling Australian author Sara Henderson (Marlee’s mother), whose American husband Charles Henderson developed Bullo River in the 1950’s, with the story of station life vividly chronicled in Sara’s books. Since 2001, Bullo River Station has belonged to Sara’s eldest daughter Marlee and her Austrian-born husband Franz, with the noisy assistance of their two sons Ben & Franzie. Marlee & Franz are charming and entertaining hosts and meeting with them in the informal surroundings of the family home and hearing Marlee’s own stories of growing up on the property adds a fascinating dimension to any visit. Marlee has since written her own account of growing up on Bullo and the book “Bullo – the Next Generation” makes for fascinating reading.

Please note that due to the nature of running a property of this size, it sometimes means that either Marlee or Franz may be personally unavailable during certain periods – especially during the mustering season. A small team of dedicated guides are on hand to ensure you are well looked after and will miss nothing of the Bullo River experience.
