... Photograph - South Portland Cemetery...Black and white photo. Alexander Davidson's grave, South...Back: 'ALEXANDER DAVIDSON'S GRAVE SOUTH PORTLAND CEMETERY... Back: 'ALEXANDER DAVIDSON'S GRAVE SOUTH PORTLAND CEMETERY ...Alexander Davidson arrived in Australia in 1838 as a poor Scotsman, a mason by trade. Alexander was to work hard and amass enough savings to allow him to invest in an established Squatting Run in 1848. As stated in his obituary "by patient industry and perseverance acquired considerable wealth as a squatter on the Satima station, near Casterton" on the Wando River in Victoria. He was at first a part-owner of the Satimer Run with his brother-in-law Duncan Robertson, but was able to buy out his brother-in-law's share in 1860. In 1864, with proceeds of his squatting income, he built a two storey stucco rendered bluestone house in Portland which he called "Wando Villa", which is today a Heritage Listed Building.Black and white photo.
