Drysdale River Mission Station
In 1905, the Order of Saint Benedict (OSB) decided to establish a mission near the Drysdale River. The mission was established in 1908, 20 kilometres north-east of the present site, at Pago, near the southern end of Napier Broome Bay, by Benedictine monks from New Norcia. In 1937, due to water supply problems the site at Pago was abandoned and the mission was moved 20 km south west at Kalumburu Pool, on the King Edward River.
