After Thomas Fraunceis Moore married Annie, Richard Percy and his wife Jane, set off with brother Thomas Fraunceis and wife Annie to Appin (on the Loddon River near Kerang) and jointly pioneered a property there. They also promoted the 12 Mile Canal Company (later the 12 Mile Irrigation Trust) - which was the first group of men to create & use gravity irrigation from a canal in Victoria, via a 9 mile long canal which was built to service an area 3 miles wide on the east side of the Loddon River. This was later mirrored by the Sheepwash Company (later the Leagluir and Merring Irrigation Trust) which built a similar canal to service the west side of the Loddon River. Subsequently the Goo Scheme took over the 2 canals and added them to its own canal network.
20 years later in about 1895 the partnership ended when Thomas Fraunceis and his wife Annie returned to Elmhurst to take over the Deer Park property from Thomas Fraunceis' father.
Richard Percy then settled in Kerang with his family.
In 1896 he received a letter from hiis cousin Opelia F. Webber in North America with news of the family there.
