Myroodah


Coordinates: 18°07′19″S 124°16′08″E / 18.122°S 124.269°E / -18.122; 124.269 (Myroodah) Myroodah or Myroodah Station is a pastoral lease that once operated as a sheep station but presently operates as a cattle station located in Western Australia.

Situated about 16 kilometres (10 mi) south east of Looma and about 112 kilometres (70 mi) south east of Derby in the Kimberley region, the property is currently owned by the Indigenous Land Corporation and occupies an area 401,944 acres (162,661 ha). It is south of the Fitzroy River and runs back to the edge of the Great Sandy Desert. It has a range of soil types from the black soil of the flood plains to the red sandhills and spinifex country. The manager since 2011 is Chris Daniell and the property runs approximately 23,000 head of Brahman cattle mostly for the live export trade from Broome.

Both the Margaret River and Fitzroy River severely flooded in 1894, so much so that the rivers that are normally about 20 miles (32 km) apart were united for at least two days. Heavy losses were expected at Myroodah similar to the losses at Yeeda and Mount Anderson Stations.
