Bexley Station is a pastoral lease functioning as a sheep station situated in Queensland, approximately north of Longreach and south of Muttaburra.
The property was established prior to 1890 by Edward Goddard Blume. That same year, it suffered a significant fire that destroyed the majority of its feed and fencing infrastructure. Wool production reached 68 bales in 1892 and increased slightly to 71 bales in 1893.
In 1939, Blume transferred ownership of Bexley without livestock to T. Scanlan, while retaining control over the Yanburra section. The station encountered considerable difficulties, including flooding in 1950, which resulted in a snake infestation around the homestead. By 1953, the property had come under the ownership of W. G. Allen and his family.
By 2001, the McPherson family had acquired Bexley when it was struck by an intense storm delivering of rainfall within a span of nearly 24 hours. As of 2011, Ross and Michelle McPherson continued to hold ownership of the station.
