Henry Bellamy, his wife Emma and brother George are the founding members of a dynasty that spans five generations. ‘A Land of Chance’ is a family saga set against a backdrop of Australian history from 1855 to 1951.
At the age of five, Sarah Louise Bellamy emigrates from the English county of Essex with her parents and four sisters to become part of the fabric of early Melbourne. The growth of a dynasty and the rise in its fortunes is seen through her eyes. From early beginnings in merchandising and shipping, the family company expands to keep abreast of changing times with the advent of steam power for their ships, motor vehicles and early aviation. Ultimately, the company’s interests also include mining, agriculture and real estate.
