The station was established in 1878 By 1885, the station had changed hands and was owned by
Samuel James Phillips and his brother John H. Phillips. Jimba Jimba was severely flooded along with surrounding properties including Erivilla and Clifton Downs in 1896 following heavy rains. The Gascoyne River and many of its tributaries broke their banks resulting in loss of stock. By 1906 Messrs S. J. Phillips and Company owned Jimba Jimba and a total of 23,000 sheep were shorn producing 290 bales of wool. Philip Ryan managed the station until 1907, when Douglas Philips, John Phillip's son, took over management of the property. Following the deaths of John and Samuel Philips the property passed onto Douglas in 1921. A team of eight shearers led by Bill Young sheared 8,205 sheep in a 38½ hour week in 1954 at Jimba Jimba. A seven-year
drought was broken in 2010 when the area received its wettest day on record. This triggered
massive flooding along the Gascoyne River, with water levels up to above normal. Floodwaters almost surrounded the
homestead, with people having to be winched from rooftops by a police helicopter. == Geology ==
