I live in the North East. at the bottom of the Sidling Range. An hour to Launceston to the south. Half an hour to the beaches in the north and 10 minutes away from Scottsdale, which has pretty much everything we need including a hospital. My only complaint is that Scottsdale isn't as pretty as some of the town in Tassie and some of the people are a bit snobby to new comers.

We don't get cable broadband but we have satellite broadband which isn't too bad but cuts out a lot.

Hello, I am from Victoria and thinking of moving to Tassie. I would like to be within a reasonably short driving distance of the ocean and don't have a lot to spend but looks like there are some real estate bargains out there (compared with Victorian real estate anyway).

I found this site and joined, thinking it was just a general site, but it looks like I have blundered into the world of photography? Sorry if that is the case!

I am on my own (well, not entirely, there are my beautiful dogs) and don't know a soul in Tassie, so even thinking of moving there is a little daunting, having to start over getting to know people and making friends. I work from home and as long as I can get broadband, I can continue to do that, so looking for work will be one problem I won't have. Ansons Bay and generally north-east looks nice, but really all of Tassie does.

Are there any other women out there who have done this move alone? Would appreciate thoughts from anyone.

Thanks

No I haven't yet, my house went on the market just last week. I'm now wondering if I might feel a bit isolated from Victoria in Tassie and whether I should stay in Victoria ? Who knows

I want to move to Tasmania a soon as my mortgage is paid off in a few years.
I joined this site to gain some insight into everything i can learn about Tasmania from the locals perspective.
Ive been looking at properties roughly 30 minutes from Hobart or Launceston, and atleast 10 acres in size.
Margate seems to have what im looking for, but am open to other areas 30 mins-1hour from Hob. or Laun.
I'd prefer natural bush/forest as opposed to cleared land and elevated too.

I will build my house, and only have small scale permaculture operations. Good soil would be a bonus.
Can anyone suggest other locations around Tassie that would suit this lifestyle?

$800,000 is my budget
