Minara Station is a pastoral lease that has operated as a sheep station and is now a cattle station 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 two other nearby properties: Nambi and Yundamindera.[4]
