William Davies emigrated to Australia in 1911 and worked an orchard called “Brackendene” approx. 40kms west of Kojonup until 1937, when he retired to a new home he had built at 10 Banksia Street Bunbury. He was residing at this bunbury address until his death on the 3rd November 1950 at 90 years of age. The “Brackendene” property is still owned by a descendant of the Davies family, however occupied as a residence only, with tree farming as its current use.
