History
Old Mornington was originally run as a beef cattle station for 80 years and was named after Victoria's Mornington Peninsula by Bob Maxted.
The station was once owned by Sir Sidney Kidman who had abandoned both Mornington and Glenroy Stations in 1936 as a result of Indigenous Australians spearing his cattle and the difficulty in driving his cattle to Derby.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

—William James (1842–1910)
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
