William James (Jim) Broun (1882-1963) was born to Scottish parents at Bushfield Station, Bundarra, N.S.W. From 1903 to 1914 he ran in partnership with his family, Bassendean Station, Tingha, N.S.W., an amalgamation of various family properties. He held a controlling share in the property until after World War II. A feature of Bassendean was the haven Broun created for his Aboriginal workers. In the 1940s he purchased an adjoining property, The Grove.
