Moola Bulla Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
It is situated approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) west of Halls Creek and 150 kilometres (93 mi) south of Warmun.
The property occupies an area of 6,600 square kilometres (2,548 sq mi). The property bisects the watershed of the Fitzroy River and Ord Rivers.
Moola Bulla was established in 1910 as a government run station used to punishAboriginal people. It remains an area to be avoided by Indigenous peoples. Set up as a result of an increasingly bloody conflict between Aborigines and Pastoralists it was hoped that opening a ration station would reduce the need for Aborigines to kills livestock for food and that instead they could be trained for work on other cattle stations. The station was acquired for the sum of £18,061 along with a manager and other competent staff being appointed. The station was proclaimed a reserve and was used as a camping ground for the local Aboriginal peoples who were free to come and go as they pleased. The unusual name of the property is Aboriginal (which language?) for meat plenty.
