Brown made a report to the local police,[6] who tracked the Aboriginal people responsible to their camp along the Charnley River and killed a man who tried to spear them.
[7] Relationships between the settlers and the traditional owners further deteriorated in 1910 when Brown sent an urgent message to Edgar that a group of 100 had taken possession of the station and the cattle had gone.
The property was soon struck by drought, forcing Fraser to move the homestead closer to permanent water.
[10] The property continued to operate as a cattle station until it was declassified as a viable pastoral lease in 1987.
It eventually became part of the 3,700 square kilometres (1,429 sq mi) Wunaamin Miliwundi Ranges Conservation Park when it was gazetted in 2000.
