Meda Station is located 40 km East of Derby, Western Australia. This is the Western end of an area known as the Kimberley, 700 km North of the Tropic of Capricorn.

Meda Station is run in conjunction with the Western half of Kimberley Downs and together the land area amounts to over 1.25 million acres.

The Meda Manager, Jamie Laurisson, has been at Meda since 1997. Jamie is married to Gemma and they have four children.

The average rainfall is 26 inches and daily temperature during the dry season is around 30 degrees, warming up to the early 40's during the wet season.

The station runs 25,000 head of predominantly Brahman cattle. Traditionally, the stock camp comes together in early April, with mustering commencing soon after. The mustering is done by helicopter, with assistance from horsemen on the ground. Mustering and processing of cattle continues throughout the dry season and usually wraps up in October.

Cattle sales are mostly live export, with Indonesia being the most predominant market destination for Meda and Kimberley Downs cattle in recent times.

When the cattle work is complete, the work programme focuses on maintenance and improvements which time hasn't allowed for during the hectic mustering programme.

Social activities attended by the staff throughout the year include the Fizroy, Broome and Derby Rodeos and Halls Creek Races. Fishing is a popular attraction on weekends off as when the Barramundi are biting, there's nothing more exciting!
