June spent much of her time with her aunts and great-aunts and frequently stayed at Meroogal, living there in the years before completing her education at boarding school in Sydney.
In 1944 June married Charles Wallace but continued to regularly visit Meroogal and her aunts Helen and Elgin Macgregor. June inherited Meroogal in 1977 on Elgin's death.
