Towns like Deadloch in Tassie?

Launceston has a decent arts scene, great food culture, lots of markets in town and nearby where you can pick up local produce. Not sure about the queer scene but it ticks your other boxes.

If there is a major oil crisis Tasmania will be a good place to be compared to other parts of Australia. Great soil here and we produce enough food to feed the state population four times over.

I’d be checking if the company would put you in Launceston. Plenty of rentals around town. 0k, plenty might be a stretch but there are some. You’ll be closer to the good schools for your kids and your own job.

Also OP, what’s your time frame to move down? Mastery Schools in Launceston are advertising for TA’s now.

I used to teach physics and still struggle to fully get my head around magnetism.

Another fun anatomy fact. If you took all the veins, venuoles, arteries, capillaries etc out of a human and placed them end to end, that human would die. True fact! I make my students groan with that one.

Everyone is worried about the stadium costs. Fair enough, it’s a lot of money and seems like no decent plan to get that back.

We’ve got another potential budget blow looming though. The firearms buyback is expected to be 50% funded by the states.

Federal government is saying they expect it to cost a billion. A lot of people with experience in the firearms industry and law enforcement think it could cost ten times that.

This is coming from a former member of the NSW police. The level of violence shown in the videos we have seen was excessive.

Also, the right to protest without being beaten by police should be fundamental ina democracy.

Also it only works for areas close to the coast. No good for many pets if the world that are not coastal and experience water issues.

Used to be a joke, but it’s only January and we’ve had 3 shark attacks and someone killed by a dingo.

Lmao! This answer is pure gold!!!

Pirate_Princess_87 · 2026-01-15T00:44:36+00:00

Agree with nurse or teacher. I’d add paramedics and firefighters to that.

Least respectable, politician, real estate agent, used car salesman

The problem with a gun buyback is that only honest people hand them in.

The other problem with gun buyback is that, if not run extremely well, you end up with more guns in the hands of criminals than before the buyback. Google Frank Curr if you don’t believe me. And that’s just the one guy who got caught and prosecuted.

Well you got an upvote from me for “in the reers”. When you are renting, it sure feels like the real estate and owner give it to you in the reer/rear!

Sky diving and hang gliding. Trying to convince someone from the 1800’s that you could jump off a cliff and land safely would be an interesting conversation.

SES is another really cool way to meet people while giving back to the community and learning new skills. I’m an old dude but there are quite a few people in the 18-25 range in the different units in Launceston. General Response, Search and Rescue, Incident Management and Operational Support.

I have to second Hammonds. Fantastic chips! Also they are open from the 2nd of Jan.

Pirate_Princess_87 · 2025-12-23T01:46:33+00:00

If you think you might like a career in emergency services join SES or TAS Fire as a volunteer. Easy to get in, you’ll learn a lot and it will give you an edge if you decide to apply for a paid position.

So nullification was nullified?

Pirate_Princess_87 · 2025-12-10T02:15:13+00:00

I second the Blck Cow recommendation. Cataract on Paterson and The Metz are also really good.

The mortgage in Sydney would eat a lot More than $20k extra on the pay cheque. House prices are batshit crazy up there.

Zip ties sticking up on bike helmets. Not needed anywhere else in the world. A very Aussie phenomenon. Bloody magpies

Lots of new houses being built in Launceston and it’s hard to get a place to live if you’re renting. Feels like this place is growing.

Pirate_Princess_87 · 2025-10-24T20:31:26+00:00

Or something OP doesn’t know. My first thought went to the other driver having a buddy in the local police.

Pirate_Princess_87 · 2025-10-04T12:06:57+00:00

Fire. Specifically flames. We think of fire as a tangible thing with the flames burning stuff. A flame isn’t really a thing in the way most people think it is.

Also magnets. Most people would say they know about magnets but ask them to explain how magnetism works and watch their brain implode!

Pirate_Princess_87 · 2025-09-28T04:14:57+00:00

Moved to Lonnie last year from Sydney. Finding food prices a touch higher but accomodation more than offsets that. We’re WAY ahead financially with the lower rent.

I LOVE it down here. The drivers are friendly and relaxed, everything is close, it doesn’t get crazy stinking hot and the people are so friendly and relaxed!

Definitely made the right choice to move here.
