Three Rivers, also known as Three Rivers Station, is a pastoral lease functioning as a sheep station situated in the Mid West area of Western Australia. Together with the adjacent Bryah Station, it encompasses roughly of grassland located at the origins of the Gascoyne River. The extent of Three Rivers alone measures .
Positioned approximately north of Meekatharra, the station was founded in 1884 by pastoralists Frederick Francis Burdett Wittenoom and B. J. Carlyon. Its initial livestock consisted of cattle brought from Nookawarra Station. By 1920, it maintained a registered office on St Georges Terrace in Perth. In 1921, prominent pastoralist David Stewart became a part-owner.
In 1926, shearer Harry Finlay achieved a remarkable feat by shearing 301 sheep within a single day at Three Rivers. The station marketed 1,200 sheep and 105 cattle through Meekatharra in 1939. The Forsyth family purchased Bryah Station in 1973 and later expanded their holdings by acquiring Three Rivers in 1984; at that point, the property supported approximately 2,300 sheep and 250 cattle. Subsequent decades brought difficulties such as extended drought periods and escalated gold mining operations.
By 2012, Three Rivers was leased to Plutonic Gold Mine under Crown Lease CL168-1970 and governed by Land Act number LA3114/926.
