Allan George Mobbs applied for his advance on 2 January 1920. It was approved on 28 January 1920. His block of land consisted of 32 acres and he intended using it for a nursery and orchard.  The block was in the County of Northumberland, Parish of Kincumber, Land District of Gosford.  It was Lot 107, a Crown Grant on the New Terrigal Road, near Gosford. [1]

His property was inspected around the first week in July.  His report was favourable as ‘clearing on ½ acre had been undertaken’ – payment of £15 to the person doing the work was approved. [2]

On 2 October 1923, he wrote to the District Surveyor, requesting information so that he could pay off his loan.[3]

He had paid off his loan by January 1924.
