Fred was a pioneer of the local abalone industry in the early ’60’s. After arriving in Australia in 1956, he and two friends cycled to Melbourne in time for the Olympics Games.
Whilst working as a bus driver he became a very keen skin diver and soon started diving for abalone.
Business opportunities arose when there was interest from Safcol and SPC for canning abalone and developing an export industry.
By 1963 he was living off abalone and started a canning business in Nth Laverton -Abolone Exports- and started canning and exporting worldwide and employing 35 people.
