History
Mr. W. McKenzie Grant owned the station in 1917, which was a reasonable year at Cogla, with 129 bales of wool produced from 7,000 sheep. The property was being steadily improved with extra fencing and well sinking during the year.[3]
Cogla Downs was put up for sale in 1920; at this time it occupied an area of approximately Шаблон:Convert and was divided into 18 paddocks with about Шаблон:Convert of fencing. Stock could be watered using the 15 wells that had been sunk. It was stocked with about 9,000 sheep.[4]
Owned by Messrs Beaton and Broad in 1923, the station had a good season, shearing some 10,300 sheep in total for a total of 173 bales of wool.[5]
The station despatched 1,000 wethers in 1926 to metropolitan markets from the Day Dawn trucking yards.[6]
In 1927 the station had a good season with 7,600 sheep being shorn to produce 153 wool bales.[7]
The station was once known as Nettlie and was owned by Chas Beaton in 1928; at this time Beaton was experimenting growing navel oranges and lemon trees on the property.[8] The station had a satisfactory clip later in 1928 with 8,000 sheep and lambs being shorn to produce 113 bales of wool.[9]
When advertised in 1929 the property had 29 wells equipped with mills and troughing and was subdivided into 21 paddocks fenced with over Шаблон:Convert of fencing. Cogla also had 14 room homestead, another 7 rooms for shearing quarters and three out-stations. It was stocked with approximately 9,000 sheep at the time with 50 cattle and 40 horses.[2]
In 1930 the flock was clipped producing 224 bales of wool. At the time the flock consisted of over 8,442 sheep and 3,204 lambs with stragglers not included.[10]
The Beaton family still owned the station in 1953.
The station was purchased by the Indigenous Land Council on behalf of the Yulellah Fabrications Aboriginal corporation in 1994.[11] The station is run for training and economic development purposes.
