Thread: Thinking of moving to Tassie

Cost my parents to move from Perth WA to Invermay around $14000 and that was 2 house holds worth of furniture and also the company they used loaded and unloaded all the stuff.

Xavie just do it I have wanted to move over there for age's now but the only thing stopping me in the miss's.

I looked at the legana area and also beaconsfield area but there are so many places to live.

My parents went there 4 times before deciding on the area they like (I prefere hobart way) and they ended up buying the house that I was looking at.

I am heading down at the end of March to decide my area then as soon as I get back if it is what I want the house will go on the market and then it will be a waiting game!

I think it is going to happen but in this market it will be waiting for the house to sell. GAH!

Hi,

Some friends of mine (professional couple) were renting a house in Legana and the weird thing was that the rent was way more expensive than what mortgage payments would have been. This was about 5 years ago.

AFAIK the long term population trend in Tas is still slightly downward.

cheers, DL

Hi Xavie

Jobs are ok down here depending what you do for a crust, my pay is one of the best for my field in Aus. Health work (I am guessing that may be your field) is alright, my daughter is doing her first year of nursing this year. Tas Uni's have a reputation of quality, you would not be disadvantaged by studying down here. The Ambo service is a bit strange but accepts mainland Ambo's readily (possibily to easy from some I have seen).

Great place allround, you can grow Bannanas and Pineapples in Devonport and also catch game fish 2km off the river mouth . (how did the B in Bannanas become bold?)


Cheers Andy

Thanks Andy. Great info.

I contacted the uni and had a long talk to several people today and must say I was extremely impressed.

So, yes! Full steam ahead from here.
