[2] The property is mostly composed of grassland and saltbush country on flood out plains of the river with many permanent water holes.
[1] In 1880 Beringarra was acquired by Henry and John Campbell who, after having troubles with the local Aboriginal people,[5] sold the 390,000-acre (157,827 ha) property stocked with 9,000 sheep, 12 cattle and horses and equipped with a shearing shed and wool press[3] to H. Darlot of Melbourne in 1882.
The main homestead boasted six bedrooms, storerooms, kitchen, workers cottages, blacksmith shop, 20-stand shearing shed and stables.
[8] The station was acquired by the New Zealand and Australian Land Company Limited at some time prior to 1912.
[10] The area was struck by drought through 1912 resulting in shearing at Beringarra being cancelled and starving sheep being trucked south from Cue.
The 1921 season produced 225 bales of wool, which was regarded as satisfactory given that the sheep were on a starvation diet for part of the time and 60% of the lambs perished in drought conditions.
