About Bullo River Station
Bullo River Station is a 200,000-hectare working cattle station and luxury wilderness lodge in the Victoria River Region of the Northern Territory, sitting in the rugged country between Timber Creek and the Western Australia border. It's one of the very few Top End stations that combines genuine pastoral operations — Brahman and crossbred cattle, on-station mustering, traditional yard work — with a high-end tourism arm. That dual setup makes it one of the most varied 88-day postings in the NT.
Backpacker roles at Bullo River Station typically split between station hand work (yard work, fencing, water trough checks, helping during mustering season) and lodge hospitality (housekeeping, kitchen, guest services). For Working Holiday Visa purposes, station hand roles fall under animal cultivation and qualify directly; hospitality roles in this part of NT qualify under the Northern Australia tourism provision. Pay sits at award rates with onsite accommodation and meals usually provided — a real perk given the remoteness. The combined package can be unusually good value.
