Mount Augustus Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in Western Australia. It is situated about 145 kilometres (90 mi) south west of Paraburdoo and 300 kilometres (186 mi) north west of Meekatharra in the Gascoyne region.
The area of the lease grew three-fold during this period with the addition of cattle-grazing land to the south of Mount Augustus eventually extending well south of the Thomas River and the Pink Hills to the boundary with Mount James Station. Bob and Maxine Bozanich acquired the lease in 1967 then sold in 1978 to Ken and Jill Gurney.
