Lilias Philp and her son Norman Wylie Philp managed the station as tenants in common until December 1980 when Norman Philp and his wife Rosemary Anne Philp began managing the station as tenants in common. In 2002, they purchased an adjoining portion (Parish of Karvella) and a new lease was issued over the area of 26,129 hectares.
