The property is situated approximately {{convert|53|km|mi|0}} south west of Bourke and {{convert|130|km|mi|0}} north of Cobar. The confluence of the Warrego River and the Darling River is located on the property.[1] First established in 1857,[2] by 1880 it was owned by Sir Samuel Wilson went to England and selling it to Samuel McCaughey bought Toorale along with another property, Dunlop Station. The old shearing shed was built in 1873 and in 1894 about 265,000 sheep were shorn there. In 1892 the poet, Henry Lawson worked as a roustabout in the Toorale woolshed. Lawson composed many works including A Stranger on the Darling, Bourke and Bosses Boots while at working at Toorale. McCaughy owned the property until 1913.[2] A Company, the Australian Sheep Farms Limited, with directors including Sir Arthur Stanley, R. H. Caird and G. Slade raised £400,000 in capital to acquire Toorale, Dunlop and Nocoleche Stations in 1925.[3] Shearing in 1931 took nine weeks and had 24 shearers pass 81,000 sheep over the boards for 2,095 bales of wool.[4] In 1936 Toorale was placed on the market, at this time it occupied an area of {{convert|850452|acre|ha|0}} and was stocked with 54,355 sheep and 1,089 mixed cattle.[5] The last big wool clip from the station was in 1953 with 2,100 wool bales being produced. Toorale was owned by the Berawinnia Pastoral Company and had run flocks of between 50,000 to 100,000 sheep for the last several years. Much of the property was then resumed for soldier settlement.[6] The property occupied an area of {{convert|91000|ha|acre|0}} in 2008. In the same year it was acquired by the Federal and New South Wales Government for {{AUD}}24 million. It had been planned to turn the area into a National Park with the century-old dams to be demolished and the stored water released by into the river system.[7] The {{convert|30866|ha|acre|0}} Toorale National Park was declared in 2010.[8] The remaining area is now part of a {{convert|54385|ha|acre|0}} state conservation area.[9] See also
