He took up land grants and ran large flocks of sheep. With his appointment as Advocate-General in 1834 he had a seat in the Legislative Council where he was an effective but ultimately unpopular member. Between 1831 and 1839 he was a leading participant in exploring expeditions to the east and north of the colony around the Swan, Avon and Moore Rivers, York District, Northam and Champion Bay. This resulted in the discovery of rich pastoral country. Moore's interest in the indigenous inhabitants led him to publish (with Governor John Hutt) a dictionary of the local Aboriginal language (1842). He left the colony in 1852 on extended leave and did not return. 1820 1820 Education - Graduated in law, Trinity College, Dublin 1830 1830 Life event - Migrated to Swan River Colony 1834 1834 Career position - Advocate-General 1846 1846 Career position - Acting Colonial Secretary 1852 1852 Life event - Returned to the United Kingdom
