Extract from "Hamilton: A Western District History" by Donald Garden, p. 107

"North of Hamilton, towards the Wannon, a newcomer to the district produced one of the most remarkable examples of evasion of the Selection Acts. Thomas Bromell (1832-1887) [sic] came to Victoria in 1853 and soon after took up a farm near Geelong. The source of his capital is not known, but in 1860 he moved to Hamilton where he selected land on Skene. He added to this in the next few years, by selection and by purchase from selectors, various blocks from the Kanawalla, Skene and Mockanger runs until he had accumulated 14000 acres known as Hensley Park. Bromell's rapid emergence as a man of property and influence in the district was reflected by his election to the Shire Council, of which he was President in 1874, and to the Legislative Council in the same year."
____
The source of capital for Thomas BROMELL referred to above is believed to be from three sources. Firstly, he was successful at the Ballarat diggings during the year he spent there (late 1853 to late 1854) leaving just prior to the Eureka Stockade uprising. He moved on to the Avoca diggings where he was once again successful. Thirdly, on his return to Geelong, he set himself up as a cartage contracter which in that period when money was very easy to acquire was a very lucrative occupation, particularly when many fellow selectors needed to move into the western district of Victoria.

A former sexton at the Eastern Cemetery informed me many years ago that he believed that the headstone was wooden and that a grass fire had swept the cemetery and wooden headstones were destoyed. At the time of the first burial in this family group, during the 1850s gold rush, substantial material for building anything were in short supply and very expensive and wood was a cheaper alternative.
