My Story

John Ewington: Retired educator, part-time gardener, grey nomad, and amateur historian.

Since retiring I have been able to pursue my interest in Australian history and in particular Tasmanian history. This blog is an attempt at creating part of my past by telling a story about four of my great, great grandparents.  Rare historical snippets of information inform their stories.
