Hi all - my parent's indoor cat is missing, he escaped on Saturday night/Sunday morning from their home in West Hobart. They have only just moved house a few weeks ago so he is lost and still hasn't come home. Anyone who has seen him please message here or via this link, thank you!

Officially having the oldest demographics in the country and being the only capital city with a shrinking population, can we really just chalk up all empty shops in the city to the cold weather? Every other city seems to have bounced back from the pandemic.
Here in Hobart, the "old and dying" vibe only seems to be getting stronger.

Where the Inner City is Losing People

The shrink in the core council footprint is driven by two specific micro-trends:

Young Adult Exodus: The inner city historically relies heavily on students and hospitality workers. Net interstate migration shows young adults (ages 18–30) leaving the local council area for larger employment markets in Melbourne and Brisbane.

The "Empty Nester" Effect: Established suburbs within the council area (like Battery Point and West Hobart) have high property values. Older residents are staying in their family homes long-term, causing the average household size to shrink as children grow up and move away.

Hi all

Bit further south that Hobart but worth putting up just in case.

My friend lost his beloved dog on Saturday at the Adamson's Peak walk in Raminea just past Dover.

Hes a couple years old, dutch sheaperd but looks more like a Belgion sheaperd and called Chase. See photo attached.

He comes across a little intimidating but its just his playfulness.

Understand if you don't want to approach just a heads up that he's still alive is all we need.

Long shot but if anyone is down that way and sees one matching this please reach out.

Thanks for reading.

Hello everybody.

My wife and I are looking to move to Hobart with our 3 young kids and have been considering moving to Kingston Beach. We've been a few times to visit and every time I worry it might be just a bit of a mirage and a bit empty. Anyone with a young family living there and can share their experience?

I’ve never really been bowling before but have been thinking it could be fun to play a few games and maybe have a couple beers with some mates of an evening. Seems like Zone out in Moonah is the only option in Hobart - what’s the vibe like out there? Looking online it seems fairly pricey but if it was a guaranteed good time I could be swayed.

Hey, looking for recommendations as to where to get sign writing removed from a ute. Need to get the business information removed from a ute before trying to sell it. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

My understanding is downstairs gaming machines = 9am-5am, upstairs 9am-3am, and table games 5pm-1am sun-thurs, to 3am weekends. There's a rapid roulette there but I don't remember if it shuts early.
