The property has extensive and reliable water supply with 80 kilometres (50 mi) of double frontage on the Wilson River and associated creeks.
Mount Margaret was once Queenslands and Australias largest sheep station, occupying an area of 599,000 hectares (1,480,161 acres) which makes it larger than the nation of Brunei.
[4] Owned in 1956 by the Killen family's Pastoral Development Holdings (formerly Elsinora), the property ran a flock of 76,000 sheep and 5,000 cattle.
The adjoining properties include Malagarga and Kihee stations, both of which, at different time, have been owned along with Mount Margaret.
The station was acquired in 2004 by Mike Gordon's, the Bydand Pastoral Company, from the Yass based Reid family.
