Aussies are banding together in an audacious bid to reclaim national ownership of a breathtakingly beautiful piece of coastal farmland that a Chinese billionaire has put on the market. The 200-year-old 'Woolnorth' dairy farm in northwest Tasmania is being sold by Chinese billionaire Xianfeng Lu, drawing to a close what a controversial tenure since he staved off rival Aussie bidders to pay $280million for the 143,500ha property in 2016. Mr Lu has been progressively selling off chunks of land over the last couple of years, but he has put up for sale the final 1300 hectares of the property, which includes a historic homestead, eight dairies and a small wind farm.
