After marrying in 1856, Robert and his wife moved in with his mother (as his father had died only 4 months previously). In 1869 he and his growing family moved to Callington, a copper mining township on the Murray Flats.

Later, in 1891 the severe droughts in South Australia prompted Robert and his son William to come to Western Australia to look at land. They were very impressed with the climate and potential and decided to take up land in the Katanning district. Robert had been afftected by sea sickness and so sent William back alone to South Australia to move the family. While Robert waited for his family to arrive he built a weatherboard house at 'Capemont'.

Meanwhile William had informed the family they were moving to Western Australia and a clearing sale was held on 12 February 1892. The rest of the family consiting of Mrs Beeck, her 8 sons and 3 daugthers and their families sailed from South Australia on a ship named "South Australia", and arrived in Albany on February 1892. They brought with them all their wordly possessions, including livestock and equipment. Included among the implements was a stump jump plough which was the first to be used in the district, if not the state.

The Beeck's settled in the district on the properties 'Capemont', 'Summerfield', 'Orange Grove' and 'Garden Valley'. Robert and his family played a major part in the formation of the Baptist Church in the district. The first Baptist chruch was formed at Capemont.

He was offered transitfunds to find other employment within the British Isles.He opted for Portsmou , it seems, whe he set himself up asa private tutor in mathematics, for with he evidently hada strong bent. His first, and virtually only pupil, was ayoung man named Boucher, cousin to Vice-Admiral Sir EdwardBoxer, OBE (died on active service at Sebastopol, in theCrimea, and was buried from the deck of his flagship).Anne Boucher fell in love with her tutor, and exacted fromhim a promise not to marry until he could find the means tomarry her. He agreed. Shortly thereafter, a friend, whohad been serving as a ship's doctor on a trans atlanticsteamer, fell ill, put in to Portsmouth, and asked hisfriend, Alex Manson, to substitute for him for one voyagewestwards to Canada. This would give him free passage tothe New World.
