10194, an area of 38,888 hectares (96,090 acres), and has been used by scientists in fields ranging from zoology to agriculture, palaeontology and environmental science.

It is administered by the UNSW Faculty of Science.The lease enables studies of the arid-zone environment, particularly in relation to impacts on the pastoral industry.

With a varied collection of meeting places, dormitories, cottages and camping sites it can handle reasonably large visiting groups and small conferences.

A condition of the lease is that UNSW provides facilities for any reasonable research program proposed by other university and government organisations.

As well as research, Fowlers Gap is used extensively for teaching, largely by way of student field excursions from UNSW and other educational institutions also visit the station.

The Station and its records form a unique facility for research and education, recognised in May 1996 by its inclusion in the former Register of the National Estate.
