Meda Station


Coordinates: 17°22′05″S 123°59′46″E / 17.368°S 123.996°E / -17.368; 123.996 (Meda) Meda Station, often referred to as Meda River Station, is a pastoral lease in Western Australia that once operated as a sheep station but presently operates as a cattle station.

Situated about 38 kilometres (24 mi) east of Derby and about 76 kilometres (47 mi) north of Looma in the Kimberley region, it is between the Meda and Lennard Rivers. The country is well timbered with open grassy plains. A neighbouring property is Kimberley Downs Station.

The property occupies an area of 5,059 square kilometres (1,953 sq mi) and supports a herd of approximately 25,000 Brahman cattle. It is owned by the Jumbuck Pastoral Company and has been managed by Troy Haslet since 2015.

The property was established prior to 1883; a station employee, Henry Thomas Best, died on Meda that year. By 1885 the property was owned by Messrs Marmion and Co. and was hit by severe flooding. Over 1,300 sheep were lost from the property during a cyclone that swept through the area. In 1891 shearing produced 100 bales of wool.
