Miscellaneous Properties
From the number of properties, it would appear that TLM-P attempted to provide rural properties to any of his sons who wished to live on the land and, in Lizzie's case, to buy into a property with a son-in-law for the same reason.
Aberfoyle Station
See John and Lizzie Jardine.
Tununbah Station
There are records re this property in TLM-P's papers at the State Library of NSW. See:
MLMSS3117/Box 8: includes Ledger and accounts for Tununbah Station, 1867-1868 and cattle and horse records of Tununbah Station, 1867-1868.
MLMSS3117/Box 9: Ledger and accounts for Tununbah Station, 1865 and cattle and horse records Tununbah Station, 1865-1866
MLMSS3117/Box 10/Item 1: Ledger and accounts for Tununbah Station c.1883.
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.1)
Bulli Creek Station
This was possibly Bulliwallah Station associated with Thomas de M. Murray-Prior. It was near Charters Towers. In 1885, 'Mr Murray-Prior' of that station had a saddle stolen by a 'bushranger'.2) Or was it a property at Bulli Creek neat Toowoomba? On 5 May 1885, the Sandgate Municipal Council reported a good humoured letter by T de M. 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.3)
Moorlands Station
According to Fox, Moorlands was a 40,000 acre property which was owned by 'the Messrs. Murray-Prior' and sold 'without stock and only partially improved' to the Moffatt brothers in 1892, the year TLM-P died.4) It is located in central-west Queensland, in the Blackall-Tambo_Region.

Moonbago Station
TLM-P also owned Moonbago Station, South Kennedy, Bully Creek. His grandson, Thomas Bertram M-P, was born there in 1883.7)
Pullen Station
TLM-P's granddaughter was born at Ipswich in 1881, possibly on this station which is described as “Pullen, Moreton, Ipswich” and owned, in 1880 at least, by TLM-P.8)
