Historic: Phillip McGuire left the police force in the 1870's and selected the block at Moorellup. Family records state that 'the growing family settled in and were eventually housed in a three roomed cottage made of pink hand-made bricks and affectionately known to a later generation as the "old house".
The old "Moorellup" buildings are in a dilapidated state. The new name "Fermoy" was bestowed upon the property when the new homestead was built in 1905. Moorellup is the name of a soak which was fresh until the dry season of 1940. The property has a stone constructed cottage and a brick constructed (hand made bricks) cottage.
