[Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosebery,_Tasmania ] Maps from: http://www.tchange.com.au/regions/west.html The small west coast mining town of Rosebery has become the focus for the most critical and important public health and environmental regulation issue in Tasmania's recent history. In October 2008 several Rosebery residents realised that their chronic health problems and those of their pets was probably caused by the effects of toxic heavy metals in the environment. This realisation has led to one of the most appalling cases of Government mismanagement of a public health crisis in Tasmania to date. |
