professional photographer, worked as a travelling photographer in North Queensland from about 1868 to 1875. He was at Maryborough and Nashville in 1868, at Blackall the following year. He purchased Ashbury Bright 's collection of glass negatives of Aboriginal portraits and views at Maryborough, the town that was always his base. In Wharf Street in 1870, he was in Richmond Street the following year, from which he toured to Gayndah and Mount Perry in 1871-72. A collection of his photographs of settlers in the Queensland outback (Royal Commonwealth Society, London) includes The Mount Perry Hotel, Heusmann Street (c.1872) showing the long bark-roofed hotel (erected in 1871 by Tim Maher, the publican) with a crowd of patrons lined up under the verandah and a horse-drawn cart in the street in front. By 1875 Moore was back at Maryborough in Kent Street, his original address.
