Leinster Downs


Leinster Downs Station is a pastoral lease that once operated as a cattle station and now operates as a sheep station in Western Australia.
Situated approximately north of Leinster and south of Wiluna in the Goldfields-Esperance region. It shares a boundary with the Pinnacles Station to the south, and with Wildara station to the south west.
The traditional owners of the area are the Wanmala, Tjupan and Pini peoples.
Established prior to 1909, the property was raising and selling horses in the goldfields area at that time. Cattle were being run at Leinster Downs in 1920 along with many nearby properties including Dandarraga, Sturt Meadows and Ida Valley.
Leinster Downs was acquired by the Nairn brothers, who also owned Yarrabubba Station in about 1925. The property was running sheep at the time and occupied an area of approximately.
The Leinster Downs Pastoral Company owned the property until 1949, when Noel White and family acquired the property.
