Borrona Downs Station is a cattle station near White Cliffs in far western New South Wales, Australia.[1][2][3] It is about halfway between Milparinka, around 100 km to the West, and Wanaaring, around 100 km to the East, as the crow flies.[2]

The Borrona Downs Station airstrip is at 29°45'4"S 143°6'4"E,[1] on Bloodwood Creek east of the Pindera Downs Aboriginal Area, about 890 km west-northwest of Sydney, 160 km north of White Cliffs and 140 km east of Tibooburra, New South Wales.

Borrona Downs is about 120m above sea level.[2] For many years the station has been operated by the Taylor family.[4][5][6]
