Distinguished and Famous people from Moora
🧭 George Fletcher Moore
George Fletcher Moore travelled through the district in 1836 while following the river that now carries his name. His connection is that colonial exploratory journey, made long before Moora developed as a railway town. The shire’s historical account places the route near Noondagooda. Moore’s wider public life included legal duties in the Swan River colony, but here the association is field travel and recording geography. The river and surrounding country were already part of Aboriginal life and knowledge; the European name records one later episode in their much longer history.
🌾 James Clinch
James Clinch applied for a pastoral lease in the Moora district in January 1847 after earlier work as a shepherd near Toodyay. He harvested a crop that year and expanded his holdings, later naming his property Berkshire Valley after his English background. His career reflects the shift from large pastoral leases towards freehold landholding as colonial regulations changed. The local connection is a working property and early farming, rather than a town founded by a single person. Berkshire Valley’s name preserves that personal link within the broader history of occupation and agricultural development.
