He went to the Victorian goldfields, then worked until 1854 on the Melbourne Argus. Together with bookbinder William Detmold and printer William Moore, around 1860 he took over the business in Flinders Lane founded in 1854 by Trembath and Goodhugh, and founded Fergusson and Moore, in the 1860s one of Melbourne's largest printers.
