The ephemeral lake, Lake Boonderoo, from which the property takes its name is situated within the station boundary.
[1] Boonderoo occupies an area of 3,144 square kilometres (1,214 sq mi) and consists mostly of deflated limestone plain with open bluebush and saltbush scrubland along with bindii grasslands and has a carrying capacity of 23,457 sheep.

The three leases were for Boonderoo, Kanandah and Koonjarra.
