[2] Following a period of drought, the homestead was partially destroyed during the 2010 floods when the Gascoyne River rose over 10 metres (33 ft) above its normal levels.
Volunteers from the group BlazeAid helped clean up around the property in the months after the flooding, repairing fences and buildings.
[2] Following expeditions through the area in 1879, Robert Edwin Bush took up leases and established a holding he named Pindandora Station in 1880.
The local Aboriginal people referred to the area as Bidjia Mia, meaning place of the bidjie grub, and the station eventually took on the name Bidgemia.
