Banjawarn Station, a remote sheep station in Western Australia, is infamous for its connection to the Japanese doomsday cult Aum Shinrikyo, responsible for the 1995 Tokyo subway sarin gas attack. In the early 1990s, Aum Shinrikyo purchased the station under a false name to conduct secret chemical experiments, including attempts to produce nerve agents like sarin. The cult's leader, Shoko Asahara, and his followers believed that they could use chemical weapons to bring about an apocalypse, and Banjawarn Station provided the perfect isolation for their illegal operations.
