Credo Station

Credo is a pastoral lease located about 70 km north west of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia in the Goldfields of Western Australia,

The pastoral lease was acquired by the Department of Environment and Conservation in 2007 and is now used as a tourist destination which offer overnight stays in the six dongas on the site.[1]

The explorer Ernest Giles passed through the area in 1875 and had an unfortunate encounter at nearby Ularring Rock with an Aboriginal tribe.

The station was set up by William Henry Halford who arrived in the area in 1904 after departing from Mintabying in South Australia in 1903 via Fowlers Bay, Eucla and Balladonia.

Halford set up the Overland Dairy near Kalgoorlie and started to run cattle from Binyarinyinna near Lake Cowan to Kalgoorlie and acquiring pastoral leases. The family set up a homestead at Black Flag and Credo was initially an outstation.[2] Credo itself was established in 1906-1907.[3]
