Notes:
Family Search record for Mungo (LH26-FXG) suggests that little is known of Williams movements. Family recollections variously suggest that he had been sent out to Australia in advance of the rest of the family to acquire suitable land but absconded with the family funds, or that he remained in Canada or perhaps moved to the United States.

From Peter Prove email:
" The brother William's movements are more mysterious. Family recollections variously suggest that he had been sent out to Australia in advance of the rest of the family to acquire suitable land but absconded with the family funds, or that he remained in Canada or perhaps moved to the United States."
However records show he died in Ingham, Herbert District, Queensland but his wife Elizabeth McEwan died in Harrisville suggesting that he had contact with the family. He married 24 May 1864 and lived in Ingham, Herbert District, Queensland, Australia, well north ( abt 1500 km) of Brisbane where the family landed.

From Mary Hoods Obituary
"Mr. W. Boyle, who brought the first cattle over the range from Cardwell to the Herbert district."
This is a distance or about 300 km although google suggests it is about 600 km by road today.
See story in 'The Ingham District, Some Early Years, Discovery and Development
That was the start of the Herbert River and ?b?Scott Brothers were actually the first to open it up?/b?.
Residence:
The next on record was William Boyle, and he settled on what was afterwards Gedge Brothers' Estate, Marathon.
See details in story ?i?The Ingham District - Some Early History, Discovery and Development
?/i?Marathon is a town within the locality of Stamford in the Flinders Shire, Queensland, Australia that failed to develop. The undeveloped town of Marathon lies between the Flinders Highway and the Marathon railway station on the Great Northern railway line from Townsville to Mount Isa. Although the town did not develop, the Flinders Highway deviates to bypass it. The name Marathon drives from the pastoral run name first used by the lessees in 1863, at the suggestion of William Lempriere Frederick Sheaffe, the Commissioner of Crown Lands Kennedy District, using a Greek historical name. The town of Marathon first appears on a 1916 survey plan.
he Flinders Highway is a highway that crosses Queensland east to west, from Townsville on the Pacific coast to Cloncurry. The road continues as the Barkly Highway from Cloncurry to the Northern Territory border at Camooweal and beyond. The Flinders Highway passes a number of small outback towns and typical outback landscape predominates towards the inland. It was known as National Route 78 before Queensland began to convert to the alphanumeric system being adopted in Australia and is now designated as A6. The highway is also known as Overlanders Way.[1] Its entire length is part of the National Land Transport Network (formerly Auslink).
The Great Northern Railway is a 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) railway line in Queensland, Australia. The line stretches nearly 1,000 kilometres linking the port city of Townsville, Australia to the mining town of Mount Isa in north-west Queensland. Along with a passenger service called the Inlander, it is a major freight route connecting the Mount Isa Mines to the Townsville Port. In 2010 the line moved 5.8 million tonnes of cargo, and this is expected to increase significantly in coming years.
Townsville is a city on the north-eastern coast of Queensland, Australia. Townsville is Australia's largest urban centre north of the Sunshine Coast, with a population of 180,820 as of June 2018.[1] Considered the unofficial capital of North Queensland by locals, Townsville hosts a significant number of governmental, community and major business administrative offices for the northern half of the state.[4] It is in the dry tropics region of Queensland, adjacent to the central section of the Great Barrier Reef.[5] The city is also a major industrial centre, home to one of the world's largest zinc refineries, a nickel refinery and many other similar activities. The Port of Townsville is also being expanded to allow much larger cargo ships from Asia and the world's largest passenger ships to visit. It is an increasingly important port due to its proximity to Asia and major trading partners such as China.
Early history
Such indigenous groups as the Wulgurukaba, Bindal, Girrugubba, Warakamai and Nawagi, among others, originally inhabited the Townsville area.[6][7] The Wulgurukaba claim to be the traditional owner of the Townsville city area; the Bindal had a claim struck out by the Federal Court of Australia in 2005.[8]
James Cook visited the Townsville region on his first voyage to Australia in 1770, but did not actually land there. Cook named nearby Cape Cleveland, Cleveland Bay and Magnetic(al) Island.[9] In 1819, Captain Phillip Parker King and botanist Alan Cunningham were the first Europeans to record a local landing.[9] In 1846, James Morrill was shipwrecked from the Peruvian, living in the Townsville area among the Bindal people for 17 years before being found by white men and returned to Brisbane.[9]
Establishment
Townsville ca. 1870
Anzac Cenotaph and Esplanade, Townsville, circa 1935
The Burdekin River's seasonal flooding made the establishment of a seaport north of the river essential to the nascent inland cattle industry.[10] John Melton Black of Woodstock Station, an employee of Sydney entrepreneur and businessman Robert Towns, dispatched Andrew Ball, Mark Watt Reid and a detachment of 8 troopers of the Native Police under the command of John Marlow to search for a suitable site.[9] Ball's party reached the Ross Creek in April 1864 and established a camp below the rocky spur of Melton Hill, near the present Customs House on The Strand.[9] Edward Kennedy, a member of the surveying party, recalls the Native Police chasing local tribesmen into the ocean and 'pumping lead' at them. On the return journey to Port Denison, the group 'dispersed' another aboriginal clan, rounding up fifteen women 'who remained at the scene of combat' and abducted them back to the barracks. No mention is made of the fate of any children.[11] The first party of settlers, led by W. A. Ross, arrived at Cleveland Bay from Woodstock Station on 5 November of that year. In 1866 Robert Towns visited for three days, his first and only visit. He agreed to provide ongoing financial assistance to the new settlement and Townsville was named in his honour.[9]
Townsville was declared a municipality in February 1866, with John Melton Black elected as its first Mayor.[9] Townsville developed rapidly as the major port and service centre for the Cape River, Gilbert, Ravenswood, Etheridge and Charters Towers goldfields.[10] Regional pastoral and sugar industries also expanded and flourished. Townsville's population was 4,000 people in 1882 and grew to 13,000 by 1891.

Notes from the Hills, Herbert River Express
The Satellite Lease-one of the Planet group of Waverley's early days, and now held by Mr. Harry Carson, is being again worked by him. He is working on a nice leader that was passed through when sinking the shaft, and it runs from about 6 ft. from the surface down to within a few feet of the tunnel level, and is dipping into the hill. From present appearances a 50 ton crushing is spoken of, and if all is of a quality to what is now being raised, a good result will be obtained. Everyone on the field would like to see the present owner get a turn-up, for he is one of those who has tried to send the place ahead, and what is
more, has always been willing to help along anybody who wished assistance in prospecting or developing a show; in fact, one of the old school of mining men who are fast disappearing from our nothern fields.
Across Oakey Creek one of Paul Poppendorf's shows is still being worked, as also is Boyle and party's wolfram claim. The drop In wolfram will felt by the latter, more especially as their claim was looking well, and was in good working order. A bit of bad luck for the holders to bump against a falling market when all dead work was accomplished.
Mat Cockrell's parcel of 13 tons cleaned tip for two tons black tin, and he tells me that he has another crushing of equal quality In sight. Evidently the Rob Roy, which was about the richest of the Waverley Co.'s leases, is not done yet, but is only beginning to show Itself.
Everthing has a dry appearance round Waverley just now. Water is scarce and so is feed for stock. As if this was not bad enough, some one set fire to the grass near the township. Dry feed is bad enough, but no feed at all is worse, and it woul appear as if the lesson tought by the drought year - when nearly all grass had been burnt in anticipation of the rain that never came - has been forgotten. . .
