Pilbara Oasis between Karijini & Ningaloo
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 Karjini National Park.
GETTING HERE
Cheela Plains is located 130kms (via gravel) west of Tom Price and 320kms 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.

STATION EVENTS
Each year, we are introducing new and exciting events on Cheela. In 2020, we again hosted our 'Space Safari' an introduction to astrophotography under the magnificent night sky of the Pilbara. Everything from landscape to deep-sky astrophotography will be covered. Stay tuned for the announcement of 2021 event dates.
