My work: 1848 collection Gift
Brett and I purchased the original Euston Station in (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) , on the banks of the Murray River ~ the 14 acres that remained of the original 100,000 acre sheep station.
On the property is the original drop log cabins, in what we thought, at the time, unrestorable condition.
We can look back now and say, thankfully, we had no choice. We needed somewhere to live while building our new home. So, with blood, sweat and many tears, we started the huge job of making the existing log cabins liveable.
With the passion and history of this place, in respect to the early settlers and the people before us, we just had to work hard to restore and renovate them. We wanted to get them back to what we hoped was there original glory, and now we would love to allow people to come and stay. It's your turn to explore and experience this unique homestead. We have now purchased another 350 acres back of what was Euston Station land, equipped with walking tracks, a boat ramp, camping spots and mooring sites.
In one of the rooms, I have my store, (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) Collections ( (Website hidden by Airbnb) I have always been in retail, this have driven my vision of the homestead and gift shop. I love quality and pretty things. I have used this passion throughout the homestead restoration, from furniture to bed linen, gifts and homewares.
We look forward to sharing the combination of passion and history that our beautiful homestead has to offer. From single night stays to weddings and camping trips, we welcome all enquiries.

Euston Station Story
Euston Station derived its name from the stately mansion in Suffock, England, called “Euston Hall”, owned by the Earl of Grafton. Euston is also one of the oldest townships in New South Wales.
Euston Station’s story is quite a romantic one. In (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) , Edmund Morey (born (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) in Chatham, Kent, England), a mere young man left Canally Station accompanied only by an local Aboriginal guide, a dray, a few cattle and sheep trekked down the Murray River and squatted on the fresh pastures of part of a new run called Boomiarcool. Morey’s section of this run was later called Euston Station run.
It was a bold move even for an experienced pioneer, let alone a young lad, for Boomiarcool was at the extreme western limits of colonisation of NSW at the time. There was no real contact with either Sydney or Melbourne, or any other settlement of consequence in the area. Yet, Morey was successful and prospered. He continually added to his original run by acquiring additional adjoining lands including Garnpang, Pan Ban, Manfred, Kilfera, Kapar Kora, Prungle, Arumpo and others.
When Edmund Morey sold Euston Station in (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) he went to Queensland and worked with the public service. He died on the 10th February, (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) in Marybourough.
Euston Station came into the hands of Bertram and Alf Taylor. Droughts crippled the partnership of Bertram & Taylor and they sold Euston Station to William Kilpatrick in the (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) s. After William’s death in (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) it was administered by his executors.
Edmund Morey’s original Euston homestead still stands today that was built on the banks of a lovely billabong near the Murray River. A newer homestead was built adjacent to the original around (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) but was destroyed by fire.
The woolshed at Euston Station run in the olden days, blade shearers shore 45,000 Merino sheep and when the machines evolved the shed installed 16 sheep shearing stands.
At the eventual subdivision sales of Euston Station in (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) it had grown to (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) acres (404,000 hectares) covering 146 square miles (378 square kilometres) due to the other land acquisition by Edmund Morey. The final subdivision of 65,715 acres (26,593 hectares) of the immense original run was divided between James N. Spittle of Hattah and A. G. Woodhead, former manager of Moorna Station at Wentworth.
Woodhead and Spittle agreed to subdivide and sell the areas adjacent to the river for irrigation blocks and graze the back country for wool growing. They agreed to halve the property and tossed a coin to see who would have first choice. Spittle won the toss and he acquired the half nearest the town of Euston and gained the homestead. Woodhead received the section near picturesque Lake Benanee.
About (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) , Spittle (junior) sold Euston Station to Lawrence and Alma Tyack came from Werrimul. After a quiet period, Euston Station began to come to life again with the new era of irrigated vineyards, orange orchards and vegetable growing (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) Brett & Bobby Hammet
