Breaking News - We are Moving to Tasmania!

10.01.2020 - 16.01.2020 27 °C

So, we have totally fallen in love with Tasmania.

Mediterranean, semi-tropical climate, grow anything; moderate seasonal changes; long days in summer; 40% of the island is protected; very friendly people who say “sorry” more than Canadians; little urban sprawl, thinly populated; old-fashioned in a hip way; no direct international flights (yet), well-maintained empty roads, mostly 2 lane; Devonshire Cream Teas and even a street named Scone Lane (and scones are my favorite food); low real estate prices comparatively; adorable cottage architecture; lots of artists; stunning beaches, aquamarine water and fine white sand, swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking; interesting animals like wallabies, wombats, echidnas (spiny porcupines and the only living mammal besides the porcupine that lays eggs), black swans, penguins and pelicans; birthplace of the Green Party; a craft beer and wine industry; diverse & local food culture; great fish and seafood; lots of sheep, horses and agricultural land; good thrift stores - Vinnie’s (St Vincent) Salvos (Salvation Army) and Op shops; lots of public toilets; good exchange rate. Selling everything and moving here. Heh, heh....
