Over time the graziers saw the value in the Yalgoo
land and began to establish the first sheep
stations. Alluvial gold was discovered in the 1890s
in Yalgoo, which lies 216 kilometres east of
Geraldton. Today, gold is still found in the district
and visitors are encouraged to try their luck
fossicking in the area.
