Located at the top of the Channel Country the property shares a boundary with Marion Downs Station.
The Georgina River flows through the north eastern part of the property as it journeys southward further into the channel country.
[2] The station occupies an area of 6,920 square kilometres (2,672 sq mi) and encompasses a variety of country from the Toko Range to the west to the floodplains to the east.
[3] The station was established in 1877 along with several other well known properties in the Channel Country as pastoralists expanded westward from the grasslands at the headwaters of the Diamantina.
Later the same year an unfortunate cook, who had only taken up the position a couple of days earlier, was killed by Aboriginals in the area.
[11] In 1893 the region was struck by a terrible drought and the station would be thought to be lucky to be able to muster 10,000 cattle, with carcasses laying all over the property.
The meteorite had a mass of 38.5 kilograms (85 lb), has an irregular sub-triangular shape with convex and concave surfaces.
[2] Moderate flooding was experienced at Glenormiston in 2010 following heavy rains locally and further north in the Georgina catchment.
