The property was established in 1891 as Wogoola Station, named for the permanent waterhole not far from the homestead site. In 1962 the station became Nyang under new management. In 2006 it was renamed Emu Creek.
The property originally occupied an area of 202343ha. Initially sheep were run at Wogoola and some 20,000 were pastured and shorn in the early years.[1] Emu Creek now occupies an area of 130000ha and has a carrying capacity of 1,590 head of cattle.[2]
Emu Creek runs a Bureau of Meteorology weather station, which in 2014 recorded 67 days with temperatures over 40C.[3] It was also a popular point of interest for tourists and campers for its permanent water hole and the historic Nyang Woolshed, a stop on the Wool Wagon Pathway. new management of the station has closed access to the public.[4]
