Link to Discover Tasmania

.

• In early June 2006 my Son-in-Law Bernd spent 3 days with a friend walking in the Frankland Range in South West Tasmania. You are invited to view a selection of photos illustrating the breathtaking beauty of this area. The photos may be viewed through 'Photos' or 'Tasmania' on the above menu and then 'Frankland Range' on the next page.
• On June 29th, 2005 Garry and Jean returned from a 5 weeks holiday in Canada and Honolulu. In Canada they enjoyed a few days in Vancouver, followed by an 11 day tour of the Rocky Mountains and Vancouver Island. After a few more days in the Cities of Vancouver and Victoria then moved on to Honolulu for 9 days. Photos of the Tour are listed under Canadian Holiday but are password protected to respect the identity of co-tour members. This also applies to last years European Holiday of 10 weeks in Europe and England (E-mail requests for the password will be considered). There is a short video on St. Paul in France - a holiday highlight (password not required).
• Have a look at the South Cape photos under the Photos Link. They were taken by my Son in Law Bernd Meyer in January 2004 on a trip with my daughter Kate Askey-Doran.
• The Askey-Doran family originated in Tasmania, Australia and is gradually spreading around the world.
• Every Askey-Doran is related.
• It is intended that this Site be available for input from any member of the Askey-Doran extended family.
• The Askey-Doran family are the direct descendants of James Askey.
• Clan MacLeod of Lewis includes the Sept of Askey.
• The Askey and Doran family names merged to become Askey-Doran in the 1870s.

As the Site develops it will include family history and genealogy, as well as  activities and events that interest the family. The Tasmania button on the navigation bar will take site visitors to a page that will feature a range of Tasmanian wilderness views (such as the view of Cradle Mt. from Lake Dove - opposite) as well as information and images of places of interest.

My City - Hobart’s origins were on the waterfront in the early 1800s and this is still a city which loves the water. Small enough to be intimate, large enough to have all facilities, Hobart enjoys a spectacular location. The majestic Mt Wellington is at its back and the River Derwent laps the city’s toes.
