Badja Station

Badja Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a sheep station in Western Australia.

It is located approximately 121 km south west of Mount Magnet and 101 km north east of Morawa in the Mid West region of Western Australia.

The station was established at some time prior to 1897. In 1897 Badja was operating as a cattle station. The lessee, John Morrissey, died and approximately 1,400 cattle were put up for sale.

Edward Wittenoom owned both Badja and nearby Hinton Station in 1909, both of which were being operated as sheep stations.

Gindalbie Metals, an iron ore miner, proposed to turn part of its operations at Badja into a national radioactive waste management facility in 2015. Badja was destocked at the time and occupied an area of 1336 km2. The station was the subject of a native title claim by Aboriginal Australians, the Widi people, at the time.
