Harry potter's jk rowling buys £6.5m mansion in tasmania

Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling could be heading Down Under after buying a AUD$10million (£6.54m) historical house in rural Tasmania, it has been claimed.

Reports in Australia say the billionaire author has bought Symmons Plains, a Georgian mansion complete with 856 hectare farm.

The house was built in 1839 by James Youl using convict labour, and has been owned by the Youl family for several generations.

It is also close to the Symmons Plains Raceway, a venue for V8 supercar events, a track built by one of James Youl's descendants.
