Wallareenya Station is significant for the World war two associations as one of the first stages of departure during Port Hedland's evacuation from the threat of Japanese bombing in 1942.
Wallareenya Station, along with Pippingarra (abandoned and derelict) and Indee, emerged from Boodarie Station. Wallareenya was first developed by Hickmer and Kerr. Following Hickmer’s early departure from the lease, the property was run by Charlie Kerr and then by his widow until 1950. Mr and Mrs Henty Hall owned Wallareenya until 1970, when the lease was sold to William and Eileen Manton. Wallareenya Station was one of the first stages of departure during Port Hedland's evacuation from the threat of Japanese bombing in 1942, with beds and mattresses spread across the verandahs and the shearers' quarters. An airstrip was created at the station to fly people into the station on their way to Perth via Nullagine.
