Mulgaphone was a Perth-based manufacturer of radios founded in 1924 by Westralian Farmers Ltd, owners of station 6WF.
Mulgaphone radios were only sold in Western Australia, marketed particularly to listeners living in remote areas, as depicted through this photo of a child listening to a broadcast from the most southern westerly point of Australia, at Cape Leeuwin.
Manufacturing ceased in 1929, the company unable to compete with cheaper models imported from eastern states.
