Condition
Fair John Moffett (1882-1958) was born in Ireland and arrived in WA in 1910. In 1916, he bought this 25 acre property in Carmel and established an orchard. He worked first as a sleeper cutter and labourer for the Darling Range Road Board. The sleepers were used in the Zig Zag Railway. In 1925, he married Margaret Farr and they had two daughters but sadly Margaret died in 1929 aged only 25 years. John married Margaret's sister, Mary in 1931 and they had a son. The property is still associated with the Moffett family who were one of the first families in the district.
