    I just moved to Tasmania from northern NSW . I wanted to get away from the heat and humidity.
    i bought a house overlooking a white sandy beach for less than $350K.
    Absolutely love the seafood, wines and food here.
    People are friendly and have time to say hello.
    My best decision ever.

    I'm from Queensland but I've always been pretty fascinated by Tasmania. I'm guilty of using the two-heads joke, but in all seriousness I think it seems like a proper gem of Australia. They're Australians just like us, but enjoy such a unique location.
    I'm fixated on travelling to different countries for the first time, like Japan, but there's something about Tasmania that's making me consider putting those plans on hold and instead just enjoying some time on our beautiful little island, Tasmania.

    The thing is, is might be a _bit_ cold during winter but it's really not that bad. Compare it to other places in the world where you'll literally die if you stay out in the elements for too long, you don't get that here, not in the cities anyway. Plus we don't get cyclones or major earthquakes so that's also a plus. As for being left off the map, the only time that ever bothered me was the f'ing 2000 Sydney Olympics where on the official literature Tasmania was missing on the map. That was insulting!

Have neighbourhood watch , more like find out what people been up to group. Everyone friendly , easy make friends and you got the Launceston gorge you can go swimming, pool or fresh water , hiking, rock climbing, chair lift, restaurant, cafe, playground, wildlife all in one.

    My wife and I fell in love with Tasmania in 1998 and have returned to visit six, maybe seven times since. We have brought family and friends and all have loved it. I know some of you think these people are nuts but the story of our love for Tassie has a connection to where we live in the States. We live in Albuquerque, NM. New Mexico and like Tassie gets no respect. The state of New Mexico lies between Texas and Arizona. It is part of the United States but try telling that to East Coast snobs. When our daughter went back east to college and told people where she was from they wanted to know the exchange rate for currency!!!! Maps of the United States have been published showing the border of Texas aligning with the eastern border of Arizona. It wasn't until "Breaking Bad" was televised that the rest of the country realized we were a US state. A little exaggeration but not much.

I would say it is somewhat similar to Hawaii when it comes to nature, but Tassie is not a place you want to miss. Hobart, Launceston, Strahan, they all have their own charm.
