Kynuna Station
Kynuna Station also known as Kynuna is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in Queensland, Australia.
The station is located about 81 kilometres (50 mi) north east of Middleton and 122 kilometres (76 mi) south east of Julia Creek in Central West Queensland. It is located in the Channel Country among the headwaters of the Diamantina.
It occupies an area of 1,406 square kilometres (543 sq mi) and carries about 8,000 head of cattle depending on the season. Kynuna and Dagworth Station operate as a single entity and employ a manager and about six staff. The township of Kynuna is situated across the river from the station.
Composed of open plains vegetated with Mitchell Grass interspersed with areas of Gidyea, Coolibah and Boree woodlands, it is bordered by the river at the northeastern boundary of the property for a distance of over 40 miles (64 km).
Kynuna Station lies at the northern rim of a roughly circular zone measuring some 130 km across that has been identified by Geoscience Australia as a crustal anomaly. Proof is currently lacking as to the cause, but it is believed likely that the anomaly was caused by an asteroid strike that happened about 300,000,000 years ago.
The property was established prior to 1878 when it was owned by the Wilson Brothers who were Victorians as were many of the property owners in the area at the time. Messrs Wilson and Colt sold the station in 1882 to Mr. A. K. Finlay when the property had an area 450 square miles (1,165 km2) and was carrying 600 cattle.
