Seven mile beach is great - but so are many others.
We lived in Blackmans Bay and the beaches there, Kingston next door, are good too.
Many beaches all around - 7 mile is over the river Derwent from main parts of Hobart.
We started off in Glenorchy but this is not that close to the beaches and found Blackmans Bay/Kingston which I can recommend as being good place to live, 16kms to CBD and it took me 15 mins from closing my front door opening garage and parking outside my office. Straight run down a freway with only one other inlet with only a few houses anyway so traffic peakhour - well - lets say it took me from glenorchy straight into Hobart CBD 25 - 30 mins and a lot closer. When we lived in perth WA, lived 14kms from CBD and it took me 45 - 50 mins due to traffic.
Schools are plenty and good in BB or Kingston area - both private and state run.
Shops are heaps better since I moved 
Every day see ads for new ones so instead of having to go into Hobart to shop - can now do it in Kingston as it has grown - due to popularity I guess.
Yep Soccer is good for kinds and adults too.
You can get Premier league on PayTV - we have just got second company offering and it is half the price of the original Foxtel/Austar group - so they are bringing down their price. All satellite. New one called SelectTV.com.au has BBC as well as European sports so good for anyone coming out from UK. FTA TV is short on showing real football (soccer) only get Champions league and FA Cup. World cup too of course.
Hope that helps. :D |
Hi,
my name is Julliet and it looks highly likely that I will be moving to Tas with my husband, young son aged 5 and possibly my daughter aged 19 (she is being difficult cos she thinks their is little to no night life in Tas for her). My husband has been offerred a job in BMS and energy efficiency sales their, I am a college lecturer, we were wondering what life in Tas is like. We English seem to be a bit clueless about the island. I could certainly do with a few friends to meet up with and go shopping with, do you mind helping out? a winr bar or two wouldnt go amiss either.
I really would love some info about tasmania and our relocation, which if my husband accepts will prob take place in the next few months. We are getting valuations on our property in Cheshire, England and dont even know where is best to live or send our young son to school. At the moment he is in a mixed sex private school in Engalnd, so we would be looking for the equivalent in Tasmania, any clues as to good ones, or how I would find out in advance of our arriving?
Sorry to bore you with all this, hope we can speak again and even, who knows, meet up
regards
Julliet :D
