Real Estate, King Island

According to wikipedia:

King Island is one of the islands that makes up the state of Tasmania, Australia. It is located in Bass Strait, off the north-western tip of the main island of Tasmania, about half way between Tasmania and Victoria. The island is named for Governor King of New South Wales, whose territory at the time included what is now Tasmania. The Local Government Area of the island is King Island Council.

The population in 2005 was 1,570 with a median age of 43.1.[1] The largest town is Currie, situated on the western side of the island. Grassy, on the east was a mining town, where scheelite was mined in an open cut mine. After the mine closed, Grassy virtually became a ghost town. This has gradually changed and in recent years the population has grown and the town now boasts a Gourmet Butcher, Supermarket, Bold Head Brasserie at the Grassy Club, the G Cafe, the Grassy Emporium, E J Motors and Kelp Craft as well as a swimming pool, laundromat and accommodation in the town and bed & breakfast at the Portside Links. Grassy is also known for the natural penguin rookeries near the (safe harbour) port.

The island is notable for its cheese, lobsters, mineral water, kelp, beef, as a safe harbour for passing yachts and also as a wind farm site for Hydro Tasmania.

The southernmost point is called Stokes Point and the northernmost point is called Cape Wickham.

Sue and Bryan say:

It is large (30 by 80 km) with the main town being Currie on the west coast and the second largest town being Grassy which lies 2/3 of the way down the east coast. The harbour has been built because of a scheelite mine which was in operation until 1991 and will possibly be opened again soon. King Island is famous for its dairy products and crayfish.

 Troy says:

The place is famous for its cheese, and the cows here out number the humans, everybody waves to each other, and I swear that the main town is designed around the pub.

AYDIN ÖRSTAN about King Island’s Roaring 40s blue cheese:

Unlike some other blues, Roaring 40s is not crumbly; it is firm yet has a creamy mouthfeel. And the flavour is robust. It was love at first bite; Roaring 40s quickly became one of my favourite cheeses.

 Telstra on Next G coverage:

In terms of King Island we’ve worked very closely with all
industry I’m very confident that we’ve got the same if not better than
CDMA.

The King Island referred is in Australian, located between Victoria and Tasmania not the one between Russia and Alaska

This is no Arctic wasteland. King Island is blessed with a mild maritime climate and beautiful secluded beaches.

King Island has several Real Estate Agents, however we have decided to not use a King Island Real Estate agent to avoid the agents fee and so we can advertise our house on 10 acres at Yarra Creek, King Island in the way we would like it advertised.
