It was partly owned and operated by Cornwall man, William Penhallurick who became a well-known pastoralist, until it was purchased by Sinclair Hill and family, including his son Noel, in 1974. Apart from Tooloombilla, the Penhallurick family owned several adjacent properties on which they ran livestock, and which are mentioned in the records. These properties included Kemps Creek, Munaweena, Merivale, and Havelock.Martin Penhallurick, father of William, was born in 1854 and left England to join the gold rush in Bendigo. He later sent for his family to join him in Australia. William, with his brother Daniel Penhallurick, purchased property at Durham Ox in Victoria while still in their teens. The venture proved highly successful, and the brothers decided to purchase land to produce wool and mutton in the Riverina district on 6,000 acres. This venture also proved successful, and after four years the Riverina property was sold. Having inspected 'Tooloombilla' that was founded previously by Dr Fullerton ten years before, the property was purchased. While Daniel managed Tooloombilla as well as the Durham Ox, William took control of the stock. A third brother, John, also entered the partnership in running the station.As at 1923, the original homestead, built forty years previously, was still in use. Additions to 'Tooloombilla' were made, with 'Havelock', 'Eastlands', and 'Munnaweena' being incorporated into the holding in 1893, and 'Alice Downs' being acquired in the same year. Originally a sheep station, the brothers decided to run cattle instead, with William Penhallurick being the initiator of almost every successful move made. In 1900, the three brothers went their separate ways, with William eventually entering the property market in buying and selling properties in the Warrego district, but returning to live on the property after his marriage in 1889.William Penhallurick married Ann Josephine, daughter of Thomas Dunstan, also of Cornwall, who was one of the early settlers in Victoria. The couple had six children, eventually settling on Tooloombilla. They were noted for their humanity and justice in their relations towards the indigenous people. William served as a member of the Murweh Shire Council and for 25 years exercised Commission of the Peace. He died in Toowoomba on April 22, 1916.
