Just this morning I have learned that son Jason is on his way to
Tasmania from his most recent stop, Melbourne, Australia. He's quite
the researcher. I have tried to share everything I have that would help
as he looks back in time. I will share more as I hear more.
Check out his route below - by water or air? I do not know.

One hundred years ago, Georgie G. MacGillivray traveled to Tasmania with her sister, brother-in-law, and their two children. She would be nanny to the family while James William Fraser served as engineer to a hydro-electric plant project. I will post entries coinciding with their 100 year anniversary. Journal entries will begin August 3, 2012. Prior to that I will post background information on Georgie, James, other family members, and related topics.

Looks like they are having Fall weather down under? How long is he staying, and where next?
ReplyDeleteHe just went back to NZ last Friday? Flew into Queenstown, stayed with friends in Wanaka, then caught a bus to Christchurch yesterday. He has a free place to stay there until June 16....a friend who is in the States I believe, on travel - she's an architect.
