Location

Bullo River Station covers 500,000 acres and is situated in the northwestern corner of the Northern Territory near the Western Australian border.  Encircled by the coffee coloured waters of the Victoria River and rugged hills inscribed with Aboriginal rock art, this vast property is not only home to around 9,000 Brahman-cross cattle, but also a stunning variety of local fauna species including wallabies, dingoes, wild buffalo, a myriad of native and migratory birds, fish and the omnipresent crocodile.  The 'Boab' is Bullo's symbol and these proud trees dot the entire property lending their stature to what is already an impressive landscape.

Climate & Seasons
 
Bullo River is in the 'Tropical North' climatic zone, and has an average temperature of 32 degrees celsius all year, with varying humidity.  There are two distinct seasons - 'The Wet', from November to March and is when the summer rains prevail and bring the natural landscape to life and the humidity increases.  Road access to the Station over this period is restricted and due to the heavy rains the Station is closed for December, January and February over the peak of the wet season.  'The Dry' season, from May to October, has warm sunny days and cool nights and is the peak season for visitors and the period of most cattle related activity.
