Moving to Tassie

Have just moved back to the UK from Tassie. Thought I would share some of our experiences there.

(':D')

Lots of Space
Property prices
Fabulous Beaches
Friendly people
D'Angelou Italian restaurant - Battery point Hobart
Hobart Deli's
Never too hot


Logging, log trucks - mad driving of
Crappy old vehicles on the road - no MOT tests
Poisoning wildlife with 1080 for plantation forests
Cold - no central heating - no mains gas. Only wood or electric heating in Tassie. Start installing proper heating and make a fortune.
Construction standards generally - a lot of shacks advertised as cottages
Cost of living - start thinking dollars for pounds eg shopping that would cost £35.00 will cost $35.00 and your income is likely to be similar or less.
Roadkill - distressing to see so many beautiful animals killed.

No dark chocolate digestives!
