Globe Hill Station is a defunct pastoral lease that was once a sheep station and a cattle station in Western Australia.

It is situated approximately Шаблон:Convert south of Onslow and Шаблон:Convert east of Exmouth in the Pilbara region. The property shared a boundary with Minderoo and Nanutarra Station.[1]

The traditional owners of the area are the Thalanyji peoples, who know the area as Wurrumarlu or the Globe Hill country.[1]

The property was established at some time prior to 1883, and was trading wool in that year.[2]

George McRae and another man named Harper owned the property in 1884 and it had been substantially improved with wells, pumps and a wool shed having all been built, and was stocked with 14,000 sheep.[3]

In 1907 the property was still running sheep and was owned by McRae.[4]

Frederick Bedford and Thomas Frederick de Pledge acquired the station in 1909 for £35,000.[5] Globe Hill was incorporated into Yanrey Station by de Pledge. At one stage Yanrey was the third largest property in the Ashburton District, with a size of Шаблон:Convert.[6]

The properties had a combined flock of approximately 80,000 sheep in 1909 with 10,000 being lost during a storm.[7]

The area was later struck by a drought which broke in early 1913.[8]
