In 1911 he moved to Perth, Western Australia, to take up the position of Stock Inspector with the Western Australian Department of Agriculture. Much of his work involved quarantine control of animals coming through the port of Fremantle. In 1913 he became Lecturer in veterinary science at the new University of Western Australia, where he taught students, farmers and veterinary practitioners (some of whom had little or no formal training). After military service mostly in Egypt Weston was invalided home in 1916. Ill-health prevented him from resuming his position at the University although he did give some lectures. He regularly published articles in the popular press on subjects of veterinary interest. With the establishment in 1924 of the West Australian Veterinary Association, Weston served as Secretary and later President. 1900 1900 Education - Graduated from Melbourne Veterinary College 1910 1910 Education - Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc), University of Melbourne 1911 1913 Career position - Stock Inspector, Department of Agriculture; Western Australia 1913 1914 Career position - Lecturer, Department of Agriculture, University of Western Australia 1914 1916 Career position - Military service 1924 1924 Career position - Secretary, West Australian Veterinary Association 1938 1940 Career position - Member, Veterinary Board of Western Australia Western Australian Department of Agriculture, Colony and State of Western Australia (1898 - 2006)
