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.

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'.1) 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.2)
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.3) It is located in central-west Queensland, in the Blackall-Tambo_Region.

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.7)
