This town of Lismore resides inside the Aboriginal Bundjalung Nation region. Information suggests aboriginal men and women showed up in the north of Australia around 8,000 in years past. Nevertheless, the actual area of the Bundjalung people from Evans Head currently is under review, along with the precise origin of the name Bundjalung. It's been suggested the Aboriginal people called the area Tuckurimbah which means "glutton."

Western Background of Lismore commences in c.1843. A pastoral run covering an area of 93 km has been used by Captain Dumaresq at this time inside the Lismore location. The run was stocked with sheep from the New England area. Ward Stephens took up the run in the same year, but the subtropical climate was unsuited for sheep grazing, hence the run appeared to be ultimately abandoned. In January 1845, William and Jane Wilson took over the run. The Wilsons were Scottish, and so they came to New South Wales in May 1833. One theory is that Jane Wilson was given the task of labeling the place for Lismore, Scotland, the spot that the couple previously had honeymooned. Another theory is it was named after Lismore, Ireland because of the similarity in scenery.

In 1855, this surveyor Frederick Peppercorne had been directed by Sir Thomas Mitchell to find out an area for one township nearby. Peppercorne posted his own chart from the suggested town reserve on 16 February 1856.[3] The selected site appeared to be William Wilson's homestead paddock, and also the region appeared to be announced the "Town of Lismore" in the NSW Government Gazette on 1 May 1856. The township was soon settled with its Postal Service was opened up on 1 October 1859.[4] Lismore was incorporated as a municipality on 5 March 1879, and also was eventually suggested a city on 30 August 1946. From the mid-1950s before the earlier 1960s Lismore hosted an annual Floral Carnival at the beginning of September. The week-long programme of events culminated in the street march associated with coloured floats, crowning of the Floral Queen plus a fireworks display.

Frequently quite small farms used for extensive main producing tend to be referred to by the specialization they are being used for, like a dairy instead of a dairy farm, a piggery, market garden, etc. This actually also refers to feedlots, which can be specifically developed to an individual purpose and therefore are typically cannot be used for further general purpose (mixed) farming practices.

Inside remote areas farms can become extremely huge. Just like properties in England, there isn't any defined size or method of operation of which a big farm turns into a station.

Regardless of size, the term station is only used for farms in which the main activity is grazing. Several cotton farms in north-western New South Wales or south-western Queensland are already formed by merging earlier sheep stations after sufficient drinking water is now accessible to make it possible for cotton to be grown.
