Destination Profile - Muloorina Station, South Australia
"Muloorina" is a 4400 square kilometre cattle and sheep station on the south-east side of Lake Eyre. Its rainfall records held by the Bureau date back nearly 120 years, to 1881, when the original owners introduced sheep to the district. Elliott Price took up "Muloorina" in 1938, and today the grazing property is run by Price's grandson Trevor (and wife Cindy), who continues the tradition of rainfall observations for the Bureau.
The weather is a fundamental part of life on an Outback station. With an average of less than 10mm of rain a month on the property, conditions are a little harsher than most other parts of Australia. "Most days there's nothing in the rain gauge," Cindy says, a fact that seems to fascinate the seemingly endless stream of tourists who visit the property.
