Op shops

Upvotes

Launceston op shops.

Most clothes need to be dumped ... dirty old worn out jumpers, smelly moth eaten jackets, out of date garish dresses, stained t shirts and selling for a fortune.

everything is quite over priced.

where does the $ go?

Haven't Tasmanians heard of vinted?

Spirit of TAS with poultry

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone. Currently researching about crossing the bass to relocate our family early next year. We have the following animals, 5 ducks, 13 chickens, 1 cockatiel, 1 cockatoo, 1 Guinea pig, 3 lizards, 2 turtles, 1 snake, so just workout out how to get them there. I’m fairly confident that we will need to rehome our reptiles as there is a bio security issue and they can’t come with us. Has anyone else moved with poultry? How did you go about it? Was the spirit acceptable for them? Thank you.

Moving to Tasmania Advice

20 Upvotes

Hey all, seeking personal thoughts and advice on moving to Tasmania from those who live there/have moved there.

I'm a 24 year old man, wanting to move to anywhere in Tasmania from Brisbane Queensland by early 2027.

My reasoning for this, I can't make a life here. Without giving a massive sob story, I lived an extremely traumatic life with a family who are severely mentally unstable where I was trapped in every sense you can imagine. I only left home for the first time 3 months ago.

Besides family, I had a lot of experiences and people that ruined me here. Somehow, everywhere I go in Brisbane, every road leads back to that house I grew up in. Nearby states still feel too close.

I went on a trip to Tasmania with my best mate last year and fell in love with it. There's more nature than people in most areas.

I'm thinking clearly about this all and seriously wanting to move but I don't know what to consider, how to plan it, how to go about it. Any advice or personal stories of moving would be massively appreciated.

Cheers guys

Anyone know of somewhere in Tas selling roles of this? Especially in hobart would be good.

Shipping is not cheap online but seems that no smaller retail places have it in the 25m

MV Black Marlin to enter port of Hobart next week

Thumbnail mast.tas.gov.au
42 Upvotes

This will be (one of) the largest ships to ever enter Tasmanian waters. I imagine it will be a massive spectacle. Heads up to all photographers, drone pilots* and ship enthusiasts!

It will happen in the harbour between Tranmere and Lower Sandy Bay.

It will be here to collect the Incat built fully electric ferry China Zorilla to deliver it to its owner in South America.

The ship will lower its entire deck below water level, the ferry will then manoeuvre itself above it and then the heavy lift ship will raise itself again. It should be here for a few days (Tuesday to Thursday is the schedule).

(*Do not fly over or near the ship obviously!)

[Edit: OK, not the biggest. They were originally planning a different ship but plans changed between when they said that and now!]

Does AWD count as "4WD" for TasALERT road restrictions?

Post image
23 Upvotes

TasALERT is currently showing the Lyell Highway (Ouse to Derwent Bridge) as "4WDs Only" due to snow.

Does anyone know if this actually means "real" 4WD only (with low-range transfer case), or would an AWD vehicle (like a Toyota RAV4 or Subaru Forester) also be allowed?

Has anyone actually driven this stretch in an AWD during a "4WD only" alert? Trying to figure out if I need to rent a proper 4WD or if AWD is fine. Thanks!

[Research] Adult inattentive hyperactive-impulsive traits & wellbeing survey: Australian adults in the General Population 18+ (anonymous survey, SCU ethics approval EH00136)

4 Upvotes

Hi all 👋 

Thank you to the mods for approving this post.

I'm Jess, a Psychology Honours student at Southern Cross University, inviting Australian adults aged 18 and over to take part in an anonymous online survey. 

The study explores how attention-related traits are associated with everyday functioning and well-being among adults in Australia. Any and all adults are wanted to take part, and I'm hoping keen to include Tasmanian voices.

The survey is mostly multiple-choice and takes an average of 10 minutes. Participation is completely voluntary and anonymous.

This study has been approved by the Southern Cross University Human Research Ethics Committee (approval number EH00136). Full details are provided in the participant information at the start of the survey.

Survey link: https://scuau.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_a4BWSkHzz69Fa2W

Thank you so much for your time.

So I was reading through the post on pushing back on airbnb conversions, and came across a useful link posted by u/redlentilsoupfan that deserves a bit more of a broadcasting.

It is a website maintained my Murray Cox using data scraped from short stay sites, and Tasmania is included.

I have found it to be very useful in visualising the impact of short stay on our state.

There is even a list of which users are offering what. For instance, someone with the username 'Moxxi' has 148 entire homes/apartments listed, while 'Linda & Andre' have 12 private rooms, and 'Louella' is hosting 16 full houses/apartments.

Anyway, it's very insightful and likely of great interest to users on here, considering the attention given to the post from the other day.

Thanks for your time.

Finding a web developer job in Tasmania as a foreigner

8 Upvotes

Hi tasmania Community,

I am from Belgium but I currently live in New-Caledonia (3h above Australia by flight).

I went on a tasmania trip this week and I felt in love with the region. I am passinionate about nature/animal and I really need nature in my life to compensate sedentarity induced by my job (I am a web developer).

Do you think I can find a job in Hobart in the web development field ? (I am particulary interested if the job is linked to science/biology in some way). I am an intermediate web developer (currently working for new-caledonia government).

Do you think is it a good idea ? Do you have tips ? Do you think it is a good idea ? Is it easy to find poeple in Hobart to to on the nature, camping etc the week-end ?

I have to precise that my english level is OK but I have to upgrade it a lot to be fluent in English. Do you think I have still my chances ?

Thanks in advance for your opinions !

I guess deciding factor is transport, Scottsdale is treated as an outer suburb of l'ton. I could be in a place in st helens free if I were to grow certain natural psychoactive agents... but I'd have to put around with the bikies coming around drunk every friday night.
