Beare arrived in Nepean Bay at Kingscote, Kangaroo Island South Australia on the Duke of York (ship) 27 July 1836, as part of the first immigrants to South Australia. He was then only 10 years old and arrived with his father, Thomas Hudson Beare and mother and three sisters, reportedly one of whom had the honour of being the first person to land on the shore. After 2 years on Kangaroo Island the family moved to Adelaide, and Beare worked on a dairy farm and then on sheep stations as a manager. One property was Ryelands, east of Kapunda and later, Koolunga station. He then became the manager of the Bungaree Station at Clare for G. C. Hawker and at the Carriewerloo run, north west of Port Augusta. He worked as a magistrate at Clare while he was resident at Bungaree. In the early 1870s Beare jointly purchased runs at Mount Serle and Ooraparinna in the far north, near the Gammon Ranges. Lack of success forced him to sell these properties, and he eventually retired to live in his property, "Netley", at Glenelg.
