The Queensland Government purchased an 80 km2 pastoral property called Swan's Lagoon in 1961 to establish a beef cattle research station. In 1978, the purchase of an adjacent pastoral property expanded the research station to 340 km2. The research centre investigated problems relating to raising beef cattle in northern Australia, where cattle production is affected by inconsistent rainfalls, viruses and parasites. The research station was sold in 2014, when the Queensland Government decided to transfer the research program to its Spyglass beef research facility at Basalt, north of Charters Towers.
