CONGRATULATIONS and thanks to Bev Carter for the wonderful and fascinating history of the Lansell family, and the buildings over many years of the Fortuna Villa.
The Lansell family and Fortuna have been part of the history of Bendigo from the early days of mining in the Bendigo area.
So I do hope Bendigo is able to procure Fortuna as a tourist attraction, and as a wonderful example of what one enterprising man with vision was able to achieve in his lifetime.
