Establishment
1882 - 1888

Established between 1882 and 1888 when dissatisfied residents of Maloga Mission moved 5 miles (8.0 km) upriver to escape the authoritarian discipline there under its founder, Daniel Matthews.
The mission buildings were re-built on the new site.

The new station became a thriving community by the turn of the century, but over time its status changed as the New South Wales Government assumed varying degrees of control.
