Meda Station

[2] The property occupies an area of 5,059 square kilometres (1,953 sq mi) and supports a herd of approximately 25,000 Brahman cattle.

Fifteen Aboriginal people and an estimated 20,000 sheep were drowned during the floods, which left miles of country underwater.

[7] Meda was placed on the market for auction in 1897 and advertised as occupying an area of 350,000 acres (141,640 ha) and being stocked with 8,900 sheep and 9 horses.

[15] Heavy rainfall was again recorded in 1945 with another 9 inches (229 mm) downpour, which arrived shortly after a dry spell.

In 1978 the Institute of Ecotechnics acquired the lease known as Birdwood Downs, commencing land care work and offering tourist accommodation shortly afterwards.
