Goulburn, NSW, Australia seems to be the first noted location of the Confoys in Australia. I have not yet found out any of the history of why this might be so. Any information will be useful. There is a street called Confoy Place in Goulburn and a Carr-Confoy sports field also in Goulburn. The Confoy in this case is evidently Jack Confoy a locally famous bicycle road racer whom seems to have won almost every race he was in that was reported in the newspapers. Some of his victories follow:
