    coming to Australia in 1848, Magnus lived close to Hopetoun House, the ancestral home of the Earl of Hopetoun, Lord Linlithgow. Magnus's father was a tenant of the Earl's estate.
    When Magnus first arrived in Melbourne he ran a grocery store until the time he joined the Victorian gold rush. He tried his luck at prospecting at Ballarat and later at Kyneton.

    Magnus must have made money from the gold rush either through prospecting or his business skills. He started a brewery in Loddon. Later he went to Gippsland where he helped build the Shire Hall at Moe. He then founded his own building business and became a prosperous businessman. The building business was eventually taken over by Magnus's son, Robert.
