The property was acquired in 2011 by the Indigenous Land Corporation in conjunction with the Nature Conservancy, Pew Environmental Group and the Australian Government's National Reserve System for {{AUD}}13 million. The property was sold to the group by prominent Melbourne barrister Alan Myers.{{cite web|url=http://www.northqueenslandregister.com.au/news/agriculture/property/general-news/fish-river-station-sold/2318134.aspx|title=Fish River Station sold|date=10 October 2011|accessdate=25 March 2015|work=North Queensland Register}}

The property encompasses lengths of the Daly River floodplain containing many billabongs and surrounded by pockets of rainforest, rugged ranges and fringed by savannah woodland.

The traditional owners of the area are the Wagiman, Labarganyan, Malak Malak and Kamu peoples. In 2011 after the property was acquired by the Indigenous Land Corporation the management was handed back to the traditional owners.{{cite web|url=http://www.australiangeographic.com.au/news/2011/11/daly-river-station-returns-to-aboriginal-groups|title=Daly River station returns to Aboriginal groups|author=Liz Williams|date=8 November 2011|accessdate=24 March 2015|publisher=Ninemsn}}
