Moonaree Station operates as a sheep station under a pastoral lease in South Australia. It is situated approximately northeast of Minnipa and southwest of Woomera, bordering Lake Gairdner within the Gawler Range region.
The station was established prior to 1885 and was originally owned by Messrs Davies and Co. In 1894, the area endured an intense heatwave, with temperatures soaring to . By the following year, 1895, the property—then covering —was put up for auction by Davies, Todd and Co., stocked with more than 16,000 sheep along with 50 horses.
Ownership later transferred to the Hawker brothers, who encountered difficulties such as drought conditions in 1902 and issues with wild dog populations. Eventually, they sold Moonaree together with Carriewerloo, Paralana, and Kolenda Stations.
In April 2013, the Government of South Australia formally designated the land area of the Moonaree pastoral lease as a locality named Moonaree.
