The estate agents in Scottsdale list properties for sale in NE Tasmania and some places are very reasonably priced, especially when compared to Melbourne prices. The Dorset Hotel in Derby (pictured in the previous posting) is for sale at an asking price of around $600,000 which doesn't seem too bad for a two storey hotel in a former mining town. This
3 bedroom renovated house with a mud brick cottage on 1/2 hectare of land is for sale in Weldborough for $190,000. Cheaper still, and slightly more remote, is a house at Gladstone described as a "
character weatherboard cottage featuring 2 good sized bedrooms with pressed tin ceilings, kitchen & dining combined with inbuilt woodheater, formal dining & front lounge with open fire, serviceable bathroom with shower over bath, vanity & toilet, and a spacious back verandah area for laundry" and on the market for $89,000.
None of this is particularly useful for Ben at the moment since he dwells in a tent and enjoys the freedom of being able to move around. But who knows what the future will bring? In the meantime, another family member who has a propensity for real-estate purchases finds this all very interesting.

That renovated house and mud brick cottage was off the market for many years and finally sold in 2017 for $200,000.
