Mount House Station

Mount House Station, commonly referred to as Mount House, is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in Western Australia.
It is situated about north of Junjuwa and north west of Halls Creek, and is accessed via the Gibb River Road. The homestead is situated along the Adcock River, a tributary of the Fitzroy River. The lease takes its name from the naturalist, Dr House.
Mount House shares a boundary with Charnley River Station.
Frank Hann crossed the King Leopold Range and explored the area in 1898. He was impressed with the basaltic country around where Mount House and Mount Elizabeth Stations are found today.

Joseph Blythe had managed Noonkanbah Station for the Emanuel brothers but eventually found the lands between the King Leopold and Philips Ranges.

The trial was successfully completed the following month with of meat being delivered. This later became known as the Air Beef Scheme, and operated from 1949 to 1965.
