fluffyhead Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Arrived 5 days ago and still pinching ourselves. Yes we arrived jet lagged into Tassie winter but everyday we see and appreciate what we have achieved. We have been blown away by the friendliness and politeness of people we have met, even staff in government offices for example tax office are so polite and friendly. We have seen some beautiful and dramatic scenery and have only covered a tiny part of the island. We ran around the second day in Hobart applying for a tax file number, registering with Medicare, applying for bank cards etc. So excited to see our first Tasmanian devil today at the sanctuary. Will update in a few days when the manic phase slows down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skani Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 i am still at a loss why you guys dont have double glazing and better heating but thats just me my husband thinks im a reptile my bloods that cold. I've been thinking about that, too. Maybe because there has been a continual housing shortage since the end of WW2 - so putting up some sort of house was more important than a house with all the creature comforts? Lots of people retrofitting double glazing now, though. Don't hesitate to ask if you have questions about Hobart (I live here too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My barbers is also just a little bit further down the road so give me a wave if you go past, it's called jacko's clip joint. Chris xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
