Situated approximately {{convert|165|km|mi|0}} north of Fitzroy Crossing and {{convert|253|km|mi|0}} east of Derby in the Kimberley region. Manning Creek runs through the property and the tourist destination, Manning Gorge, is also found within the station boundaries.[1] The property is accessed off the Gibb River Road.[2] The {{convert|700000|acre|ha|0}} pastoral lease is currently held by the Kupungarri Aboriginal Corporation.[3] The property had been established prior to 1903 when it was stocked by cattle that were taken from Fitzroy Crossing and across the King Leopold Ranges in the first drove across the range.[4] In the same year the station was being managed by Mick O'Connor who remained there until at least 1912. In 1912 it was owned by the Rose Brothers. Mount Barnett was one of eight properties located along the Lennard River all of which were very isolated at the time not even being serviced by a mail run.[5] In 1920 it was owned by Ben Copley who was running cattle. Copley also owned Karbar Station near Yalgoo and had overlanded herds for the {{convert|600|mi|km|0}} journey.[6] Fred Merry took over management of the station in the mid 1920s and assisted the police in suppressing the local Aborigines who had been spearing cattle on the property. The station was abandoned soon afterward after cattle tick had arrived in the area.[7] See also
