Francis Bassett Beel was a cornish migrant who came to Australia to dig for gold. He built a house in 1852 in Fighting Gully Road at Three Mile Diggings, Baarmutha, near Beechworth. (Fighting Gully, so called because a boxing ring stood there in the gold mining days so that miners could use it to let off some of their accumulated frustrations.) He stayed there and planted an orchard and run dairy cattle. (See article The Age, Saturday 29 January 1983, p33).
