Minara Station (Western Australia)

Minara Station is a pastoral lease that has operated as a cattle station and more recently as a sheep station in Western Australia.

Minara
Location in Western Australia

It is situated approximately 46 kilometres (29 mi) east of Leonora and 70 kilometres (43 mi) west of Laverton in the Goldfields-Esperance region.

The station was established prior to 1920, when it was running sheep and owned by Messrs Fawcett and Robinson.[1] By 1924 the owners were Fawcett and Venn.[2]

In 1928 Minara was stocked with 12,000 sheep and the shearing shed was being constructed.[3]

The station is currently owned by Minara Resources along with three other nearby properties: Nambi, Yundamindera and Glenorn.[4] By 2018 all four stations were running a herd of cattle of 6500 head.
