TASMANIAN millionaire businesswoman Jan Cameron yesterday snapped up 200ha of Gunns Limited forest.
The land, which had been earmarked for logging, was part of a massive 28,000ha sell-off of Gunns property, and three of five lots to go under the hammer in Burnie yesterday.
Hailed by Harcourts as one of the biggest land offerings in Tasmania’s history, the $30-$40 million sell-off will continue in Launceston today.
Ms Cameron was a late arrival at yesterday’s auction, but quickly made her presence felt.
The Chickenfeed owner acquired 12.5ha at Mt Leslie, behind Burnie, 90ha at Henrietta Plains near Yolla and 45ha of forest, which has already been selectively logged, off the Murchison Highway at Parawee.
All up, the entrepreneur and philanthropist spent about $250,000.
