The early settlers faced problems such as storms and drought, snakes, shortages of seed, livestock and equipment, the need to use unskilled convict labour, attacks from bushrangers, as well as the isolation from Hobart by the river, but the district was fertile and especially good for growing fruit, and many farms were established.
The first major cricket match played at Bellerive following the relocation of the TCA administration from the old TCA ground on the Queens Domain was in January 1988 when Tasmania hosted Sri Lanka; the match was drawn.
