Pilbara Oasis between Karijini & Ningaloo
OPEN to Tourists 1st April - 7th October 2026
OPEN for Corporate Accommodation year round
Cheela Plains Station is a family owned and managed working cattle station nestled in the semi-arid, pastoral rangelands of the Pilbara in northern Western Australia. Our station-stay is a welcome stop for travellers on the Nanutarra-Munjina Road between the World Heritage listed Ningaloo Reef and Karijini National Park.
GETTING HERE
Cheela Plains is located 170kms southwest of Tom Price Visitor Centre (via Paraburdoo) and 460kms northeast of Exmouth on the Nanutarra-Munjina Road (Hwy 136). The Station Campground is situated 1km off the main highway and is accessible by 2 wheel drive car.

Cheela Plains Station has long been a gathering place of people and cultures coming together. The pastoral lease encompasses four indigenous language groups: Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura, Yinhawangka, Bunjima and Jurruru. We acknowledge Aboriginal Elders past, present and emerging.
