The station currently occupies an area of 1,153 square kilometres (445 sq mi) and in 2013 was carrying 1,500 head of cattle and 25,000 sheep.
[4] The cattle baron, Sidney Kidman acquired the property in 1913 and sold it in 1924 to Edmund Jowett for about £20,000.
[2] In 1927 a well borer struck a flow of 500,000 imperial gallons (2,273 kl) daily, Jowett decided to sink three more bores in an attempt to find more permanent water supply on the property.
[5] Jowett changed Boorara from a cattle run to a sheep run[6] and then later sold it on in 1930 to William George McGrath when the property had a size of 1,200 square miles (3,108 km2) who held it until his death on 4 August 1949[7] when it was passed onto his sons J. D. and A. McGrath.
[2] The last of the owners of this proud station sold the property to the Queensland Government and Boorara is now part of the Currawinya National Park.
