Lighthouses along the Victorian coast were an important guide for seafarers but the efficacy of these silent sentinels of the night was frequently tested by sea mist, fog, poor seamanship and unseaworthy vessels. The last vessel to founder on the Far East Gippsland coast before the Cape Everard light became operational was the S.S.Riverina, which in January 1890 became lost in thick smoke from bushfires onshore and ran aground at Island Point, east of Cape Everard. Despite the existence of the beacon at Cape Everard numerous others vessels foundered within range of its light: they included the S.S.Federal (1901), S.S.Easby (1907), the cutter Orme (1909), S.S.Commissioner (1914), the collision of the steamer City of Florence and the schooner Phillipine (1916), S.S.Rostrevor (1919), trawler Albert San [ex-Brolga] (1926), the yacht Viking (1961), the multi-hull Wing Song (1985) and the Breeze (1989). The last major shipwreck at Cape Everard was that of the 2044 ton steel steamer Saros, which ran ashore in heavy fog on Christmas Day 1937. The crew was rescued but the ship could not be salvaged.

Fred and Emma moved to Brisbane shortly after they were married, and had their first son.

As the motor car took over from the horse drawn carriage there was a decreased demand for coach building. during this time Emma operated a business in Good Street, Granville, catering for private family and business functions.
When Fred gave up coach building Fred and Emma bought the A.V. Tearooms and residential, located on the corner of Thomas Mitchell Street and Bondi Road, Bondi, NSW. At this address Emma and Fred carried on a thriving catering business.

Fred and Emma lived a property called Nautilus in Bondi. In 1927 Emma sold the business and Fred and Emma moved to Jackaman street Bondi, where they lived for a couple of years before moving to 73 Weston Street, Harris Park, where they both lived for the rest of their lives.
The Weston Street property was part of the original land grant given to James Ruse. Fred and Emma purchased the home from Dr. Percy Harris, a noted surgeon in the Sydney area, of the time. Fred and Emma were held in high esteem by the local community and a street in Merry lands is named after them.
