Kybulup Barn

Statement of Significance

Max Moir (1882 - 1958), second son of William Moir of Carliugup, spent his early vears at Fanny Cove
before becoming a teamster, carting for the smelters at Ravensdiorpe. He took up land relinquished by
Dempster Bros at the Kybulup Creek/Phillips River junction in about 1905 and developed the farm called
Kybulup. At 33 he married 17 year old Elsie Mabel Reynolds (1S98 - 1979) from the neighbouring farm to
the south. They had three sons and a daughter. Later Max purchased Reynolds' farm.
Mrs Max Moir lived in Ravenslhorpe for several years during the 1920/30 period so that the children could go
to school. About 1950 Max and Elsie retired and son Wally fanned Kybalup followed by step son Rob
Wolfenden until 1984 when the farm was sold to the Biddulph family.
