his pleasure trip England in 1877 during which Benjamin Barrow Lousada was born, and shipping reports have a Mr and Mrs Lousada en route Melbourne to London 31 July 1887. On return he opened a branch of Messrs William Hamilton & Co (he ran their Warragul branch before his trip) at Lilydale where he became involved in horse-racing. On 5 April 1889 he was elected to the committee of the Warragul and West Gippsland Agricultural Society. On 8 April 1890 he was reported as having retired from the Warragul School Board of Advice. On 13 April 1894 he was reported as having been appointed the representative of Messrs Hamilton & Co in the district. He was in Warragul where he wrote to the Warragul Guardian on 15 Jul 1894 on the subject of better organizing butter manufacture to ensure a uniform flavour in the light of varying diet of the cows when the preferred grass was eaten.A newspaper report of 16 Feb 1897 reported that Messrs Skews and Patterson have decided to try their luck in WA and so disposed of their business to Messrs Lousada, Hunter and Stephen.

Lived in Traralgon 1903 (Australian Electoral Rolls) and his 2 oldest children were confirmed in Calignee in 1903 a settlement to the south of Traralgon. B (probably Ben) Lousada takes 7/19 (all bowled) against Gormandale for Callignee but to no avail as Callignee lost! Around 1905 still lived at Calignee but moved back to Warragul - there is a newspaper report covering his fall from a horse-dawn cart which reveals this.
His move to Toora is not known in detail, but was known there in 1908. In 1911 he was farming on the share system the property of Mr R H Downing about 1km from the Toora Station on the railway line. He was very profitably milking 65 cows throughout the year with the cream going to the Foster butter factory and the skim milk going to 9 brood sows. Pumpkins were used to provide solid feed for the pigs.
He farmed at Clanville, Kardella South in the period around 1917. His letter of 17 Oct 1917 is on the subject of an appeal for eggs and how it might be better arranged while his 28 Nov 1918 letter (both to the Great Southern Advocate) favours a dry Korumburra Agricultural Show. He won a prize for maize-growing at the 1921 Korumburra A&P Society competitions.
He was living in East Malvern around 21 May 1929 when he wrote to The Argus on his recollections of Cobb&Co. He attended the 50 year jubilee of St Marks Warragul on 6 Dec 1930 and spoke on the occasion. The obituary of EC Lousada in the Warrugul and West Gippsland Gazette of 5 April 1932 refers to a brother-in-law C S Affleck living close by in Tetoora. It also mentions his brother (Howel Arthur) who occupied the Torwood Estate. It also reveals that he lost money in the Land Boom and became a dairy farmer at Korumburra (ignoring his Traralgon and Toora phases).
