Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Location map Шаблон:Coord Doorawarrah Station, commonly referred to as Doorawarrah, is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in Western Australia.
It is situated about Шаблон:Convert east of Carnarvon and Шаблон:Convert south of Coral Bay in the Gascoyne region. Doorawarrah is bounded to the west by Brick House Station and has Шаблон:Convert of double frontage to the Gascoyne River.[1]
In 1890 the property was acquired by James Munro,[2] who developed the property over many years.[3]
In 1905 approximately 32,000 sheep were shorn at Doorawarrah.[4] By 1908 the flock size had increased to 36,368, and 558 bales of wool were produced from shearing.[5] 42,459 sheep were clipped in 1910, yielding 768 bales.[6] The area had three dry years from mid 1909 to early 1913, with the Gascoyne River not running for any of that time.[7]
Munro sold Doorawarrah and took up the Pallinup Estate near Gnowangerup.[3] Reginald George Burt who had once managed neighbouring Brick House Station acquired Doorawarrah and the 33,000 sheep the property was stocked with in 1922[8] and retained possession until his death in 1957.[9]
Massive bushfires swept through the area in 1927, with Doorawarrah, Brick House, Ella Valla, Callagiddy and other properties all losing large areas of feed to the fires.[10]
The Шаблон:Convert property was sold for Шаблон:AUD3 million in 2009 to a local pastoralist who owned two other properties in the area.[11] The new owners, David and Geneveive Robinson, lost a few cattle from the property during the 2010 floods, but had a good season in 2011 after the rains broke a long drought.[12]
In 2012 the area was threatened by bushfires that burned an area of Шаблон:Convert in total. Doorawarrah and other stations such as Jimba Jimba, Boolathana and Meedo all received bushfire advice warnings.[13]
