Administrative / Biographical Note
The Murchison family migrated to Australia in 1833, when Martha was still a child. Her father was an army officer, Captain John Murchison, who became a magistrate. After a short time at Parramatta he selected a grant of land, near Goulburn, which he called Taradale. He employed convicts as his servants, and his family lived in constant fear of attack by bushrangers. Martha married Farquhar Mackenzie.

Farquhar MacKenzie

Farquhar MACKENZIE (1812-1874) |
Birth* | 8 May 1811 | Kerrisdale, Ross-shire, Scotland.1 |
Note* | abt 1838 | History of Flowerdale Estate The land on which Flowerdale Estate proudly sits today is one of the most historic locations in Victoria. The pioneers to this region settled right here. Prior to the early settlers, Hume and Hovell were the first white men to enter the area in 1825. They came from New South Wales to find an overland route to Western Port. On their journey they discovered and named the King Parrot Creek which runs through the Flowerdale Estate Property. The first squatters in the area, in 1838, included Captain Farquhar MacKenzie a Scottish Highlander. He established a 10,000 acre sheep run called Flowerdale Station in association with his cousin Roderick MacKenzie. The original two room stone cottage took 3 years to build. The homestead, still existing today, was built in 1842. In 1849 Flowerdale was sold to another early pioneer John Aitken. Aitken was later drowned in the King Parrot Creek and the run was sold to Donald Ferguson another Highlander in 1857. He was apparently a wild old character, never opened a gate, he always rode over them. Ferguson was called the wildest Scotsman to arrive in Australia and took great delight in arguing with any Irishman he came across. He bred and fattened shorthorn cattle on the flats and merino sheep on the hills. He died in 1894.2 |
