[1] The station was established in 1878[1] by G. Hamersley and S. Simms and occupied an area of 100,000 acres (40,469 ha).
[7] A seven-year drought was broken in 2010 when the area received its wettest day on record.
This triggered massive flooding along the Gascoyne River, with water levels up to 17 metres (56 ft) above normal.
[8] Floodwaters almost surrounded the homestead, with people having to be winched from rooftops by a police helicopter.
[10] The crinoid Jimbacrinus bostocki, found in sandstones of the Cundlego Formation, was also named after the station.
