The property shares a boundary with Millstream Chichester National Park to the west.[1] The property was acquired by Roy Parsons and his partners in 1922 after serving in the navy during World War I. Parsons bought out his partners during the next few years owning the {{convert|1204|km2|sqmi|0}} leasehold outright.[2] In 1949 Parsons and Ted LeFroy formed the Coolawanyah Pastoral Company and acquired Tambrey and Hooley Stations which they merged with Coolawanyah with a total size of {{convert|1770|km2|sqmi|0}}. Later they also leased Millstream Station from the Department of water creating a total leaseholding of {{convert|3001|km2|sqmi|0}}.[2] During the 1950s the property switched from sheep to cattle after suffering from dingo attacks.[3] In 1956 Roy's youngest son, Les, took over management of the property.[2] The Parsons family are also related to the Withnell family and still ran the property in 2008 with Kim and Cindy Parsons managing the {{convert|3000|km2|sqmi|0}} with a herd of 4,000 head of cattle.[4] TransportationThe locality is served by the Coolawanyah Station Airport {{airport codes|COY|YCWY}}.
