Karratha Station has proudly commenced its 2026 muster with a complete team of First Nations people, marking a significant and positive milestone for the station and the wider Ngarluma community. The 2026 muster has been a fantastic demonstration of teamwork, knowledge, experience and connection to Country, with the station team working together to achieve an excellent outcome in preparing cattle for transport. It was particularly special to have Ngarluma staff and Elders at Karratha Station during the muster to witness first-hand the drafting process and the hard work being undertaken by the team. Their presence provided an important connection between the station, community and Country, while also allowing Elders to see the skills and commitment of the next generation working on Country. Karratha Station is operated and overseen by Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation (NAC) , with the station forming an important part of the organisation's pastoral activities and opportunities for Ngarluma people. The successful muster is a wonderful example of what can be achieved when experienced station staff, First Nations workers, Elders, Board members and NAC staff come together with a shared commitment to achieving positive outcomes. A special thank you goes to the Ngarluma Elders and Board members for their ongoing guidance, support and encouragement, and to all NAC staff who have contributed to the success of the muster. Your support and involvement have been greatly appreciated. It was also a privilege to see the Ngarluma team working together on Country and to witness the pride that comes with being involved in the day-to-day operations of Karratha Station. The final stages of drafting and preparing the cattle for trucking demonstrated the professionalism and dedication of the entire team, resulting in a fantastic outcome and a strong start to the 2026 muster season. Congratulations to everyone involved. The 2026 Karratha Station muster is not only about moving cattle — it is about creating meaningful employment opportunities, building skills, sharing knowledge and strengthening connection to Country. A very proud moment for Karratha Station, Ngarluma people and NAC.
