Doolgunna or Doolgunna Station is a pastoral lease and sheep station located in the Mid West region of Western Australia.

It is located approximately Шаблон:Convert north east of Meekatharra and Шаблон:Convert south of Newman. The station occupies an area of approximately Шаблон:Convert.[1] The name of the property is Aboriginal in origin[2] but the meaning is not known.

The southern branch of the Gascoyne River rises near the Doolgunna homestead.[3]

Established at some time prior to 1927, Doolgunna was owned by G. J. Howard in 1929.[4] The property was acquired by the Davies family in 1950.[1]

In 2009 Sandfire Resources announced the discovery of a large high grade copper and gold deposit within the station boundaries at the DeGrussa tenement. The mine operated until 2022, powered off-the-grid by diesel, 10 MW solar and a 6 MW / 1.4 MWh battery.[5][6][7] Other exploration companies such as Great Western Exploration, Ausgold and Thundelarra Exploration were quick to pick up adjoining tenements.[8]
