The area was first explored by Alexander Forrest in 1879; he gave enthusiastic reports of the well grassed and watered country that would be suitable for grazing lands.

[2] The country is on the flood-plain of the Fitzroy River and is well covered in Mitchell and Flinders grass with large areas of spinifex.

[3] A large number of cattle was lost on Gogo and on Fossil Downs Station in 1906 following an extended dry spell.

[7] Following the advent of the revision of the Land Act limiting holdings up to one million acres, several of the properties of the Emanuels had to be disposed of.

Over the entire property the only fenced areas were two horse paddocks and some branding yards, stock were left to graze on the open range.

Shorthorn bulls were slowly introduced into the herd to breed out white skinned beasts that were unsuitable to the tropical climate.

[16] The station delivered 394 cattle and 39 bales of wool in 1929 to the port of Derby to be loaded aboard Minderoo and steamed to Fremantle.

[29] In a report made to the Commonwealth Government in 1950 by the Department of Agriculture it was found that in a survey performed by a Mr. Poggendorff that 16 square miles (41 km2) of Gogo would be suitable for rice cultivation, despite the fact that previous experimental plots had failed in the Kimberley in 1948.

[32] In 1954 at Gogo Station, Preston Walker of United Aborigines Mission Fitzroy Crossing married their head stockman Jock Shandley and his bride Rita.

[33] In 1985 an area of 1 square mile (3 km2) was excised from the property to form the Aboriginal community of Yakanarra, which is home to about 150 Indigenous Australians.

[35] Thousands of hectares at Gogo were burnt out in 2011 when a fire was deliberately lit at the Muludja Community near Fitzroy Crossing.

A local man, affected by alcohol, started the fire after an argument; he was later arrested and charged with arson following a tip-off from the public.
