Dagworth Station is a cattle station located north-west of Winton in central west Queensland in Australia.[1] It was established in 1876 by Messrs Hunter and Urquhart who were living in a grass hut on the property in 1878 when they were still building up the run.[2] One of the adjoining properties in 1887 was Elderslie Station, which at the time was owned by Sir Samuel Wilson.[3]
