When the Boreham family arrived in Hobart they spent a month in Ivy Lodge before moving to their first Hobart address in Jordan Hill Rd.Howard Crago recounts a humorous incident:
“F.W.B. and his young wife had interviewed a solicitor in the city regarding this house, and received by the next mail a letter informing them that the place was available, which began, ‘With reference to the conversation which I had today with your daughter and yourself…’”
Crago says: “Nor would it be the last time the girls would chuckle over their mother being mistaken for their sister!”
