 The Scottish-born pastoralist and his three sons worked in the Melbourne building trade shortly after their arrival in Australia. They subsequently became land holders by 1848, settled in Yarra Glen and developed Gulf Station. Apr 1848, and from Mar 1851 with Thos. Armstrong, Gulf Station No2 with Thos. Armstrong from 1840-44, and Gulf Station No 2 from 1870 alone. William Bell died in 1870, but the property remained in his family's hands until WW2. The homestead and outbuildings are heritage-listed today. The family connection, if any, with W. Bell, is uncertain at present.
