Kimberley Downs

[6] In 1910 Kimberley Downs occupied an area of 900,000 acres (3,642 km2) and was carrying 30,000 sheep.

Eight white men were employed permanently on the property with the bulk of the work being carried out by Aboriginal workers.

11,400 ewes, 4,400 wethers and 340 rams were sold in one lot, thought to be the largest sale of sheep in one line at the time in Western Australia.

[10][11] In 1976 the property, along with neighbouring Napier Downs, was owned by the Australian Land and Cattle Company and being managed by Bob and Sheryl McCorry.

The properties had a combined area of 3,516 square miles (9,106 km2) and were stocked with approximately 20,000 head of cattle.
