The station was established at some time prior to 1896, when it was owned by a Mr. Hardey.[2] The following year the station was owned by the Robinson brothers.[3] The Robinsons, Percy and John, started with a flock of 2,000 sheep.[4]
In 1910, the property supported a flock of 17,500 sheep, which produced 250 bales of wool.[5]
