Born in Scotland in 1807 of a well to do family, Farquhar McCrae received his medical training in Edinburgh and Paris. He was commissioned as Assistant Surgeon in the British Army and in 1839 migrated with his family to become a pioneer grazier, businessman and doctor in the settlement at Port Phillip. He later transferred to Sydney where he was one of the first surgeons elected to the staff of Sydney Infirmary in 1845. Farquhar McCrae died in 1850 after a short but eventful career.
