Christina Macpherson, the daughter of the owner of Dagworth and sister of the manager of the property Robert Macpherson.[6]
The station was bought by the North Australian Pastoral Company in 1995.[7][8]
In March 2015, Geoscience Australia reported that the Diamantina River’s course at and near its headwaters flows along the edge of a roughly circular crustal anomaly that might well be an impact structure. It is 130 km in diameter, and Dagworth lies in its northeast quadrant. The asteroid impact, if indeed this is the explanation for the anomaly, would have happened roughly 300 million years ago.[9]
