The property is situated approximately {{convert|80|km|mi|0}} south of Coral Bay and {{convert|119|km|mi|0}} north of Carnarvon. Charles Brockman advertised to sell Minilya in 1882 when it had an area of {{convert|380000|acre|ha|0}}. Stocked with 4,000 sheep, 40 cattle and horses the run was described as open grassy country with areas of saltbush and milkbush country. A large portion was well timbered and the run was well watered by clay pans, natural springs and North Brook. An estimated {{convert|70000|acre|ha|0}} of Minilya is situated along the coast and is bordered by Warroora Station.[1] The entire property was estimated to have a carrying capacity of 70,000 sheep.[2]Minilya later was passed onto Brockman's brother, Julius,[3] who put on the market in 1894. At this time Minilya encompassed an area of {{convert|200000|acre|ha|0}} and was stocked with 22,000 sheep and 50 horses. Minilya was divided into eight main paddocks which were mostly fenced and watered by tanks, wells and dams. A substantial five-bedroom homestead had been built along with outbuildings including a kitchen, stables, store, dairy and meat house. A new iron shearing shed along with a Farrer wool press, holding yards for 10,000 sheep and accommodation for 25 shearers were also included.[4] It was later acquired by pastoralist and politician Donald Norman McLeod in 1899.[5] By 1911 McLeod had a flock of 42,684 sheep running at Minilya and shearing produced 954 bales of wool.[6] McLeod died in 1914 and he property was left to his second son, Guy McLeod.[7] Heavy rain during two months in 1918 (the property recorded {{convert|7.58|in|mm|0}}) caused the Minilya River to flood, isolating the homestead.[8] In 1925 over 58,724 sheep were shorn at Minilya.[9] The property had grown in size and in 1925 occupied an area of {{convert|750000|acre|ha|0}}.[7] Lady Moulden from Adelaide bought a one third share of Minilya in 1933 for £22,000. The other partners were J. F. McLeod and D. G. McLeod, both of whom each had a third share. The property encompassed an area of {{convert|700000|acre|ha|0}} in 1933 and had {{convert|60|mi|km|0}} of reticulation pipe laid down and was supporting a flock of 54,000 sheep.[10] Following a period of drought about 10,000 sheep were sold off from the property and in 1937 a flock of 27,991 produced 768 bales of wool.[11] A total of 830 bales of wool were produced in 1940 from the 33,511 sheep that were shorn.[12] The property supported a flock of about 33,000 sheep in 1954 and occupied an area of just under {{convert|700000|acre|ha|0}}.[13] In 2010 Minilya was owned by WR Carpenter Agriculture Pty Ltd, Ric Stowe's cattle business, and occupied an area of {{convert|275000|ha|acre|0}}. A herd of Angus and Wagyu cattle all destined for the Asian market are run on the property.[14] The property was acquired by Andrew Forrest in 2015 along with Brick House Station for an estimated {{AUD}}10 million.[15] See also
