Koordarrie Station, often referred to as Koordarrie, is a pastoral lease that once operated as a sheep station but now operates as a cattle station.
It is located about 73 kilometres (45 mi) south of Onslow and 102 kilometres (63 mi) south east of Exmouth and in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Koordarrie occupies an area of 1,186 square kilometres (458 sq mi) and shares boundaries with Minderoo, Yanrey and Urala Stations. The property is composed of broad sandy plains with low dunes and alluvial clay plains that all make suitable grazing for stock.
The property was established prior to 1912 when it was owned by Joseph McGrath, Frederick Wright and Frederick Lapthorn, whose company ran it until 1915 when Lapthorn retired and the partnership was dissolved. McGrath retained possession of Kooordarrie until he died in 1922.
Albert King was manager of the property and in 1928 a total of 10,500 sheep were clipped during shearing, producing 202 bales of wool. In 1928 about 12,000 sheep were shorn. The 1936 shearing produced 123 bales from a flock of 7,000 sheep after a couple of poor seasons. King retired as manager in 1946 and was replaced by Bob Knowles. By 1949 Geoff French was managing the station when he left to run another nearby property, Warrambo.
