Mikkira Station

Mikkira Station is a historic pastoral property near Sleaford on the Lower Eyre Peninsula, about 18 km south of Port Lincoln, South Australia. Established in 1842, it is one of the earliest pastoral leases on Eyre Peninsula and is heritage-listed for its homestead and outbuildings. It is notable for its remnant manna gum woodland that supports a well-known koala colony and for its continuous pastoral history.

Visitors can expect a working historic sheep station set in open paddocks and remnant manna gum woodland around Sleaford Mere. Access is by pre-booked guided tour only. The visit typically includes the heritage homestead and stone outbuildings, interpretation of early pastoral history, and walks through the woodland to observe koalas in the trees and diverse birdlife. Facilities are limited and the setting is rural and natural.
