I am travelling Tasmania and especially the Derwent Valley for the third time in eight years, this time to purchase land within this beautifull valley. While looking for land I found a parcel of land of 1000 acres for sale at Westerway but with a big question mark.
Last time I was in Tasmania and the Derwent Valley a few years ago, I read in the local newspaper that this same land was donated free to the welfare of native animals as a sanctuary by a Mr Polin and was called the Martin Polin Wildlife Reserve.
Can anyone tell me how this reserve has now been revoked as a refuge for wildlife to be sold as private land after being donated as a sanctuary to threatened species? The land covers from Westerway to National Park.
