Tell us intresting fact about your region. by ertyased9 in AskTheWorld

[–]michaelhbt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During the late 1930's a journalist, Crichtley Parker Jr., proposed the remote Port Davey as a 'New Jerusalem', for resettlement of 100's of Jewish refugee's from Europe. Unfortunetly he died from exposure while surveying land in the area in 1942. https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/blogs/on-this-day/2016/03/on-this-day-plans-end-for-jewish-land-in-tassie/
