Wullo River Valley Station was originally a grazing licence held by Connor, Doherty & Durack. The lease was taken over by Raymond, Barbara Locke & their four children in 1960. Due to poor health Raymond was permitted to quit the lease early and it was taken up by Charles Henderson in 1963.
In 1965 the Henderson family started setting up home at Bullo River Station. The infrastructure at this time was a gravel air strip, a caravan and a tin shed constructed by Charles for his families arrival.
