The area was visited in 1870 by John and Alexander Forrest on their expedition to Adelaide. The property has a length of Шаблон:Convert and occupies an area of approximately Шаблон:Convert.[1]

In 1891-1892 the Elder Scientific Exploring Expedition visited the station.[2][3][4]

The photographic record from the expedition included many photographs of local people.[5][6]

Located on the western fringe of the Nullarbor Plain the station largely bears little resemblance to the Nullarbor proper. Dense eucalypt hardwood forest dominates much of the area.[7] The trees grow to a height of Шаблон:Convert and are surrounded by a dense undergrowth. From the trees the granite Fraser range rises, the highest point being Mount Pleasant, with an elevation of Шаблон:Convert.[8]

The station is to the west of the Nanambinia, Balladonia, and Noondonia stations, which lie to the north and south of Eyre Highway.

The Dempster brothers were the first settlers on the station and arrived in 1872; the station was referred to as "Dempster's Fraser Range Station" in records from the 1890s.[9]
