Boodanoo Station is a pastoral lease that was once a sheep station but now operates as a cattle station in Western Australia.

It is located approximately Шаблон:Convert south east of Mount Magnet and Шаблон:Convert south of Cue in the Mid West region of Western Australia.

It was established some time prior to 1908; the owner in 1909 was S.R.L Elliot, who had been there for the last 12 months. Elliot sold the Шаблон:Convert holding to R. Lejeune and Vernon Sewell, who owned Sandsprings Station. The pair intended to stock the property immediately.[1] In 1910 Boodanoo was stocked with approximately 4,000 sheep.[2] By 1916 the flock was 5,500 sheep[3] and 6,000 in 1919.[4]

Lejeune was accidentally shot and killed by a kangaroo shooter in 1931.[5][6] The shooter had shot a kangaroo but the bullet passed through the animal and travelled an additional Шаблон:Convert through the mulga scrub before hitting Lejeune.[7][8]

In 1946 the lease was split into Boodanoo North and Boodanoo South, with both properties being placed on the market. Boodanoo North comprised Шаблон:Convert with Шаблон:Convert fenced into 10 paddocks. The property had 15 windmills and an 8-roomed homestead. Boodanoo North comprised Шаблон:Convert with Шаблон:Convert fenced into 12 paddocks.[9]

Julie and Robert Broadhurst purchased Boodanoo and Narndee Stations in 2015. The properties occupy a combined area of Шаблон:Convert and operate as both a cattle station and a tourist destination.[10]
