MLMSS 3117/Box 9: Ledger and accounts for Tununbah Station, 1865 and cattle and horse records Tununbah Station, 1865-1866 | The property was a mystery until the ever-generous expert Deb Stenzel came to the rescue: //Tununbah// is now called //Toonumbar// and was also spelt //Tunumba//. It is in NSW, just over the Queensland border in the Kyogle area at the base of the MacPherson range. It was very close to //Unumgar// Station which explains references to //Unumgar// in the ledgers (e.g. T.H. Sherwood Esq of //Unumgar// borrowed and returned flour and tea, meat etc.((MLMSS 3117, Box 8, p.181) As seen from the list above, the ledgers record cattle and horses on the two properties.((MLMSS3117/box 9, pp.30-31,44-45)) |

Murray-Prior 'of Bulli Creek' re whether Herefords or Shorthorns were the best breed of cattle, that he proposed to settle at the next Charters Towers show.((//The Barron River Falls//, 9 Jan 1885, p.2; [[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/3441681?searchTerm=Murray%20Priorhttp://example.com|Trove]])) \\ |
