OOOH pic,
You are making me want to move over to that island of my dreams.
I could add more to that wonderful article.
More Positives------- Being in Perth is, well a bit sterile in the suburbs. Tassie has an abundance of lovely historic buildings.
Sorry Perth lovers but. Just me of course, I detest the sterile shopping malls here. Tassie has incredible individual shops.
Many amazing antique shops. Op shops. Fantastic restaurants with incredible local food.Great pubs and hotels.
Water views everywhere. Really great soil, unlike our sand. Orchards galore. Organic food outlets. Fresh fish.
Wonderful forests and scenery. Friendly locals. Lots of history, some sad of course.
No need to drive for 5 hours to somewhere like the pinnacles....yawn!
Fresh bracing air. Local markets. And a great deal more.
Negatives- A long way from the UK. Should we ever visit again. and the weather in winter.
So the positives far outweigh the negatives, you are very lucky duck
