Kimberley Downs
Coordinates: 17°23′56″S 124°21′22″E / 17.399°S 124.356°E Kimberley Downs Station, commonly referred to as Kimberley Downs, is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in Western Australia.
Kimberley Downs is situated about 76 kilometres (47 mi) east of Derby and 154 kilometres (96 mi) northwest of Junjuwa community. It is accessed via the Gibb River Road.
The Lennard River flows through the property and a neighbouring property is Meda Station.
The land is a mix of black soil plains with a high cracking black clay content. These areas are grassed with Bundle Bundle grass, Ribbon grass, Flinders grass and Feathertop wiregrass. There is also a large area of open woodland.
The property was established in the early 1880s. In 1900 Maurice Coleman Davies, who owned neighbouring Balmaningarra Station, also acquired Lennard River Station and a portion of Lillimilura Station, forming Kimberley Downs Station. Davies later owned and managed both Kimberley Downs and Napier Downs Stations.
In 1910 Kimberley Downs occupied an area of 900,000 acres (3,642 km2) and was carrying 30,000 sheep. Eight white men were employed permanently on the property with the bulk of the work being carried out by Aboriginal workers.
