It is located about {{convert|45|km|mi|0}} south east of Marble Bar and {{convert|190|km|mi|0}} south east of Port Hedland and in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.[1] The property is bounded by Yarrie Station.[2] The property was established at some time prior to 1903. In that year it was owned by Messrs Corboy and Company, who produced the first wool clip of 61 bales of wool.[3] Copper was being mined at the property in 1907.[4]W.J. Corboy still owned the property in 1908,[5] when he placed it on the market. The property was advertised as occupying an area of {{convert|172000|acre|ha|0}} and was stocked with 6,000 sheep and 180 cattle. It had 10 wells fitted with windmills and had {{convert|54|mi|km|0}} of fencing.[6] In 1925 many windmills were destroyed and station property wrecked at Mount Edgar Station by a cyclone that passed through the area.[7] Employees at the station walked out on strike in 1946. By 1949 agreements for improved conditions and pay were negotiated at both Mount Edgar and Limestone stations and the strike was effectively ended.[8] See also
