Yarrie, also known as Yarrie Station, is a cattle station and pastoral lease situated roughly 73 kilometers northeast of Marble Bar and 170 kilometers southeast of Port Hedland within Western Australia's Pilbara area. The property is traversed by the De Grey River.
Spanning an area of 2,500 square kilometers, Yarrie supports a herd of 5,000 cattle. Ownership transferred to Annabelle Coppin in 2015 after she had managed the station for five years, purchasing it from her parents. The Coppin family has maintained possession of Yarrie for five successive generations.
The station was founded in 1886 by Christopher Coppin, who settled in the region in 1873; the family continues to occupy the original stone homestead he constructed. By 1897, the property was home to 8,000 sheep. Under Herbert Coppin’s stewardship in 1914, Yarrie carried around 15,000 sheep and benefited from good rainfall conditions.
From approximately 1990 onward, the Coppin family has operated Yarrie alongside Muccan Station. In 2015, initiatives commenced at Yarrie to conduct earthworks aimed at prolonging the retention of annual rainwater runoff to aid in rehydrating rangelands within the De Grey River catchment area. Neighboring stations including Limestone, De Grey, and Warrawagine are also involved in this project.
