I think Lake Burbury might have been named after your Grandfather's cousin, Jettie. He was Governor of Tasmania - Sir Stanley Burbury. Lake King William is formed by the Clark Dam. We were taken there on the day it was opened, but arrived after the ceremony and all the dignitaries had gone. There was a photo of the family with me holding the rope of the flag that had covered the Stone marking the occasion. There is/was a hydro electric power station at the bottom. On a later visit Your Grandma and Auntie Dot went down the passage inside the dam - I was too chicken to go. No security, or notices to say you couldn't. It seemed a long time before they came back up.
@@LowRange4X4Adventures Hobart Botanic Gardens has been a special place to visit for a very long time. Lots of good memories. every time I see it on Gardening Australia I can remember something else from there.
