Abydos Station is a cattle station operating under a pastoral lease, situated between the towns of Tom Price and Marble Bar, roughly 126 km to the south of Port Hedland within Western Australia's Pilbara district.
Spanning an area of , the property was divided into 18 paddocks by 1946 through of fencing. Facilities on site included 28 wells equipped with mills, alongside a homestead and a shearing shed. The Turner River traverses a portion of the land, which shares a boundary with Redcliffs Station.
The land is traditionally owned by the Kariyarra people, who continue to uphold a significant cultural connection to Abydos and the adjacent Yandeyarra Community.
Ownership in 1912 belonged to Hall and Hester, who transported bullocks from Roebourne. By 1930, management had passed to rationing officer Frank Leeds, with the station carrying a debt of £13,000.
Among the property's distinctive landmarks is the London Wall or China Wall—a naturally occurring granite structure measuring approximately wide and long—first documented in 1938.
In 1946, both Abydos and Woodstock stations were purchased by the Government of Western Australia to function as research sites under the auspices of CSIRO, the Department of Agriculture, and the University of Western Australia's Institute of Agriculture.
The station experienced significant damage during a cyclone in 1947, which demolished the shearing shed and cook's quarters; rainfall during this event was recorded at around .
