Location in Western Australia

Noondoonia station is a pastoral lease located north of Balladonia, Western Australia on the Eyre Highway in the Goldfields-Esperance region. It is adjacent to Balladonia Station.

It was established in 1883 by John Cook. ^[1] Cook originally selected 90,000 acres (36,422 ha) of land which later acted as the home station. Additional plots were added and the property occupied 274,000 acres (111,000 ha) in 1933. ^[2]

The Cook family were long associated with the station, ^[3] originally focusing on cattle and later sheep. ^{[4] [2] [5]}

Life in the isolated station was not without hardships, and in particular wild dogs. ^{[6] [7] [8]}
