"If it looks too good to be true it probably is"
Why is land so cheap in Rosebery and around the Great Lakes district?
What is stopping someone coming in and buying a parcel of blocks?
What is the catch?

Cheap is an understatement - many are simply given away!
Go to Rosebery/Great Lake/Launceston and you will understand why no one wants to live there...

Both areas have their charms but to live in either would be a 'lifestyle' choice. The country around Rosebery is some of the most beautiful in Tasmania.

It'd be a perfect place to retire if you were a fisherman... if not, well you might get a bit bored, and cold.

Rosebery is well located for many great walking areas. I reckon it's way undervalued. It does get a little bit of rain though.

Same reason land anywhere in Tasmania is cheap. It's a crap place to live with terrible weather and nothing to do. That's why nobody wants to live in Tasmania.
Move along. Nothing to see here.

Oh and the acid that bubbles up through the soil and makes people ill...

I used to work with Lindsay Phillips. I would not believe a single word that came out of his mouth.

We sent a crew there and filmed it, but perhaps I'm better off believing you than my own eyes eh?

Nice try! I've been promising myself a little Tasmanian bush block and a solitary self-sustainable lifestyle since 1991

I wonder how she would cope with tank water?
I would take the presence of that little critter as a sign of a clean water supply.

Well they did a great job with the ID didn't they. That is quite clearly an amphipod.
