Boodanoo Station is a pastoral lease situated in Western Australia. Initially functioning as a sheep station, it has since transitioned to operate as a cattle station. The property lies approximately southeast of Mount Magnet and south of Cue, within the Mid West area.
The station was established prior to 1908. In 1909, ownership belonged to S.R.L. Elliot, who subsequently sold the property to R. Lejeune and Vernon Sewell, the proprietors of Sandsprings Station. Their plan was to stock the land without delay. By 1910, Boodanoo supported roughly 4,000 sheep, increasing to 5,500 by 1916 and reaching about 6,000 sheep in 1919.
In an unfortunate incident in 1931, co-owner Lejeune died when a stray bullet from a kangaroo shooter's firearm passed through the animal and traveled approximately before hitting him.
By 1946, the leasehold was split into Boodanoo North and Boodanoo South for sale purposes. Boodanoo North encompassed an area fenced into 10 paddocks, featuring 15 windmills and an eight-room homestead. Meanwhile, Boodanoo South covered , divided into 12 paddocks.
In 2015, Julie and Robert Broadhurst purchased both Boodanoo and the adjacent Narndee Stations, combining for a total area of . These properties currently function as cattle stations while also serving as tourist attractions.
