Book Direct with the Owner at Capon Cottage in Broken Hill with Southport Accommodation for all your holiday and travel needs.
Capon Cottage was the retirement home in Broken Hill of our family after 60 years as graziers on a sheep station on the banks of the Darling River between Wilcannia & Tilpa. That property was called, unsurprisingly, Capon Station. The Paroo River also ran through the property after good rainfalls in Queensland & was accompanied by bountiful wildlife & flora. Visitors came from all over Australia to stay at the property, in the shearer's quarters or just on the river bank, totally free of charge as was the custom in those days in the bush. Visitors usually arrived with a case of their produce (a case of almonds if that's what they farmed) & often shared their fish catch on departure. Station stays have since been devaloped to help sustain incomes in grazing's harsher economic climate of today.
Capon Station was originally part of Momba, a pastoral holding which, in the mid to late 1880s was the largest sheep & cattle station in NSW.
After the many, many visitors from Australia & beyond enoying Capon's hospitally fishing, camping & exploring, this cottage, in some small way, has been dedicated to the memory of our family's 60 year association with the Outback of Far Western NSW
