Pioneer farmer (with brother George Wishart Foggo) at The Glen, Hd Cassini between 1907 1912. They gave up, it seems, in 1912 and moved to the West Coast.
Foggo Brothers were described in 1910:
Too much cannot be said in praise of these pioneers who, in face of the fact that the 'ironstone' country is despised and condemned by so called agricultural authorities, are doggedly and patiently pursuing their way, year after year, ' belting into the scrub,' (with no assistance from an unsympathetic Government, and little or no encouragement from the outside public) with a quiet confidence in themselves and the land that they are reclaiming from the state in which it has existed for ages ... https://sites.google.com/kipioneers.org/kipioneersassociation/farms/the-glen
