Historical information

Descendants of the Lansell family traveled from England to Bendigo during the Easter Festival.

The group includes descendants of Audrey Lansell, Sir George Lansell's eldest daughter. The family toured Fortuna Villa, an iconic mansion in Bendigo, and visited the Lansell vault. They also participated in various Easter Festival attractions, especially for the children.

Duncan Crawford, a family member, expressed hope that Fortuna Villa would be made available for community use. He suggested the mansion and its gardens could host events like opera recitals and picnics, emphasizing its beauty and potential as a community asset.
