It is situated about north east of
Tibooburra and west of
Hungerford. The tender was accepted for the run named Caryapundy by J. C. Myers in 1872. Myers was also had his tenders accepted for other runs such as Bollwarry, Mount Wood, Teriwinda and Torrens Creek. In 1873 the unstocked property was put up for
auction by the Minister of Lands. The property was put up for sale as part of five blocks owned by Mr. O'Connor. Caryapundy, Conulpie, Bolwarry, Omura No. 5 and Omura No. 6 were all for sale and advertised as being of
Burke and Wills track and well watered by the
Bulloo River, Tongowoko, Torrens and other creeks. At the time the area was made up of grassed downs and saltbush country. By 1892 the property was in the hands of
Sidney Kidman, who moved 10,000 sheep and 1,000 head of cattle from the station. It was still owned by the Kidman brothers in 1899; Sidney Kidman described it as "one of the worst in New South Wales, the might carry 230 cattle but no more, much of it is a
claypan that will never carry feed". ==Caryapundy Swamp==
