FRANKLIN - POPULATION: 453

WEDNESDAY 18 - THURSDAY 19.1.2012: Named after Sir John Franklin and his wife Lady Jane Franklin who subdivided a large property (formerly owned by John Price), to settle families of modest means. The Franklins had a ketch named Huon Pine built at Port Davey to provide a direct link between the settlement at Hobart. Having spent two days posing as athletically gifted bushwalkers by the time the Leyland Sisters arrived at the Franklin Foreshore Reserve they had hit the wall! We quickly slotted into our recovery program of dinner out followed by a movie at the Palais. 'Mission Impossible' so-so, but loved the old theatre! No queueing for tickets.
