Windidda Station, often referred to as Windidda, is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station.
It is located about 199 kilometres (124 mi) east of Wiluna and 226 kilometres (140 mi) north east of Leinster in the Mid West region of Western Australia.
The property occupies an area of 3,550 square kilometres (1,371 sq mi).
Windidda shares a boundary with Carnegie and Prenti Downs Stations.
The property was established in about 1900 by the pioneer, James Bett Willis, who had sunk the first well to produce drinkable water in the area. Willis had a partnership with Tommy Mellor in stocking and improving the other otherwise virgin country. In 1948 the property was still owned by Willis, who also owned Clover Downs Station.
J. Bell owned the property in 1950 and sold it to Spencer Doman. At this stage the property occupied an area of 1,000,000 acres (4,047 km2). Doman also owned Wongawol, Carnegie, Yelma and Bonython stations, which had a combined area of 3,750,000 acres (15,176 km2).
In the 1970s the Linke family, run by the three Linke brothers, acquired Windidda, Carnegie and Prenti Downs Stations, which they ran as a single entity. In 1992 the leaseholding was broken up into three smaller leases and Windidda was acquired by the Ngangganawili Community Incorporated.
