It is approximately 55 kilometres (34 mi) north of Marble Bar and 117 km (73 mi) south-east of Port Hedland on the Coongan River in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. [1]

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]

Percy Robinson died in 1943 at the age of 77 years. [4] [6]
