Dagworth Station

[1] It was established in 1876 by Messrs Hunter and Urquhart who were living in a grass hut on the property in 1878 when they were still building up the run.

[2] One of the adjoining properties in 1887 was Elderslie Station, which at the time was owned by Sir Samuel Wilson.

[3] In 1894 the station's shearing shed was burned down along with seven others in the district as part of a protest by shearers over wages.

The following year Banjo Paterson visited the station and wrote the lyrics to "Waltzing Matilda", said to be inspired by these incidents.

[7][8] In March 2015, Geoscience Australia reported that the Diamantina River’s course at and near its headwaters flows along the edge of a roughly circular crustal anomaly that might well be an impact structure.
