Thadoona Land District is a land district (cadastral division) of Western Australia and a subdivision of the North-West Land Division located in the Mid West region of the state.

Location and features

[edit]

The district falls roughly east of the Great Northern Highway, extending to the rabbit-proof fence, about halfway between the towns of Newman and Meekatharra.

History

[edit]

The name and boundaries of the district were first proposed on 24 July 1902 by the chief draftsman, with the spelling "Thadoona".[1] It was later altered to Thaduna, and gazetted accordingly on 4 March 1903.[2] It was later adjusted to make the rabbit-proof fence the eastern boundary of the district.[3] On 17 June 1960, its spelling was changed to "Thadoona" to better conform with the correct Aboriginal pronunciation of the name.[4]
