Notability issues

Pastoral leases in Western Australia are in some cases larger in size than nation states elsewhere on the planet - they are inherently notable like the railway station arguments on wp australia about 2 -3 years ago - regardless of how much notability might have tightened up since the demise (inactivity) of the australian places sub project - western australian pastoral leases in most cases have existed for over 70 years, some close to 100 years - substantial numbers have heritage listed features (homesteads, and natural features), and complex associations with pioneering rural families of western australia (not forgetting the aboriginal heritage found on each station), as well as substantial ecological and environmental contexts of the effect of pastoralism in the long term on the range lands of western australia - to single out any station with a possibility of lack of notability is potentially requiring a very careful examination of on line and off line material that can substantiate the argument - 'simple' googling' will get you absolutley no-where by the way - the written reccord is massive in size and not necessarily online Satu Suro 10:04, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed The article, in this case, does the topic no justice at all. Considering the size and history of the place the article is almost embarrasing in it's brevity. I'm hoping that by at least starting articles on some of these remote stations that it may encourage others with greater expertise on the subject or better access to appropriate documentation to contribute.

Our friends at Trove Ningaloo Station was at the centre of a shearing dispute in the late 1920's early 1930's which was reported in QLD, SA as well as WA. Associated with a shipwreck in the 1950s, site of a whaling station, a plane crash this is before the more recent enviromental issues, or the siezure of the coastal lands by the shire to control camping in the region in competition to the developements elsewhere.
