Statement of Significance
Significant to the history of the settlement of the Kimberley region. Very significant as a fine example of homestead group from the early 1900s.
Physical Description
The existing stone homestead building was constructed in 1908 by the Kimberley Pastoral Company and the earlier homestead was demolished. The homestead is a fine stone building with high ceilings and ventilation gaps between the walls and the ceiling. There is a wide verandah on all sides. The house has been extended but the newer section is easily distinguished from the original as it is of timber frame construction.
The station contains a number of other significant outbuildings including shearing shed from the days when sheep were run on the station. There is also a traditional kitchen.
History
Liveringa Station was the principal station of the Kimberley Pastoral Company which landed at King Sound in 1881, being the first of the West Kimberley pastoralists to attempt this point of entry. The only other station in existance on the Fitzroy at this time was Yeeda.
The Kimberley Pastoral Company was one of the few early landholders to retain a long term interest in leases aquired before 1885.
