The Suttons move to the goldfields of Ballarat and pitch their tent at Bakery Hill, not long before the battle of the Eureka Stockade. Nine months later young Henry is born, homeschooled in the family's music store workshop before discovering the local library... He starts in the footsteps of Leonardo Da Vinci, and by the time he is 14, conceives of television 40 years ahead of John Logie Baird and invents the first electric motor. Sound credit: Eureka Stockade, starring Chips Rafferty (1948)
