It was established in 1883 by John Cook.[1] Cook originally selected 90,000 acres (36,422 ha) of land which later acted as the home station. Additional plots were added and the property occupied 274,000 acres (111,000 ha) in 1933.[2]

The Cook family were long associated with the station,[3] originally focusing on cattle and later sheep.[4][2][5]

Life in the isolated station was not without hardships, and in particular wild dogs.[6][7][8]
