Lake Youl at an altitude of 1300 metres is the headwaters of the Nile River in Northern Tasmania. The famous mountain stream flows East off Grant Cirque , through Speke Gorge. The water flow slows down once it passes along the north facing ridge of Fishers Tier.
Down stream from a cement ford crossing on Fishers Tier Road, magnificent mountain creek trout present as a challenge to fisherpersons who venture into these crystal clear waters.
Brace yourselves —- we’re talking an easy ten minutes drive from the comforts of “Lilyburn Cottage”.

Here is an opportunity to secure a significant frontage to this lesser known trout stream in the foothills of the Ben Lomand National Park.

29.65 hectares in size and is mainly pasture. Its boundaries are the river and the English Town Road. A covenant protects the unique flora along the river corridor.

A well maintained three bedroom cement brick home is located close to the river bank. A recently erected 4 bay machinery shed and garage add to the capital improvements.

The white quartz boulders and river stones pronounce the clear waters of this mountain stream. The famous Colonial landscape artist John Glover painted these river scenes when he lived at neighbouring “Patterdale” in the 1830′s.

“Lilyburn” is a unique land title in Tasmania’s colonial past. I would emphasise the location being 35 minutes drive from Launceston CBD or 15 minutes via historic Evandale and airport.
