History
The McConnel family of Cressbrook and Durundur stations are descended from the pastoralist children of James McConnell (1762-1831) and Margaret Houldsworth (1778-1845) who migrated from Scotland and England to Queensland in the 1840s. Notable family members include David Cannon McConnel (1818-1885), who settled at Cressbrook in 1841, his brother John McConnel (1806-1899), who joined him in the Cressbrook enterprise from 1844 and operated Durundur station from 1851, and Ursula Hope McConnel (1888-1957), an anthropologist.
