My grandparents and great aunt had dinner on Christmas Day 1912 at this hotel outside of Hobart, Tasmania. My great aunt and grandfather followed dinner with a hike to the top of Mount Wellington. The hotel was destroyed by brush fires in 1967.
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.
