Yarrabubba Station, often referred to as Yarrabubba, is a pastoral lease that currently operates as a cattle station but has previously operated as a sheep station. It is located about 66 kilometres (41 mi) south east of Meekatharra and 80 kilometres (50 mi) north east of Cue in the Mid West region of Western Australia .
This next step will focus on evaluating the tool's impact and understanding parents' experiences with it. During this phase two, health visitors will work in eight new areas across the U.K ...
The following structures are officially considered "unconfirmed" because they are not listed in the Earth Impact Database. Due to stringent requirements regarding evidence and peer-reviewed publication, newly discovered craters or those with difficulty collecting evidence generally are known for some time before becoming listed.
