At Home Valley Station, we celebrate our history and feel obliged to impart as much of its interesting facts to our guests. Guests taking part in the Kimberley Heritage Cattle Drive may like to read on about the history of the area and get to know some of the pioneers before your journey begins.
The cattle drive will traverse the Barclay Stock Route, which runs approximately 650kms from Home Valley Station to the West Kimberley. This stock route is named after the explorer Herbert "Henry" Vere Barclay who in 1877 and 1878 led the Herbert River and North East Exploring Expedition. The purpose of this expedition was to explore and survey the country east of Alice Springs to the Queensland border.
