Has anyone ever travelled to Tasmania here? I'm starting a job in Hobart in a few months. Apart from kicking a Tasmanian Devil in its stupid little cancerous face, I have no idea what else I should be doing here for the year or so I'll be working.
if i was you i'd take the abo-pill
>>2728596not a huge amount from what I can tell, I used to travel there often for work. Great food and distillery options there, but 20 mins out of the city is basically rural with towns dotted around the place. great for hiking.. I enjoy that shit so that's not a problem for me, but it is what you make of it
>>2728596Going in December, any recs on hiking/food/sites? Going to Cradle Mountain and Wineglass Bay
>>2728684ball and chain for steaksdrunken admiral for seafoodplenty of cheaper (and still great) seafood options around the wharf areaGrinners, Preachers, The Den, Salamanca Markets on Saturday mornings are pretty decent, good for handmade christmas presents and just for a wander for breakfastCradle/wineglass bay are decent/ mount wellington has a few hikes around
>2:1 male:female ratioHoly shit what is going on here? Is Tasmania just a big worksite or something?
>>2728688>Is Tasmania just a big worksite or something?Its cold and also dark.
I lived in Tasmania from 1998 to 2016. The big question is where are you moving from? The second question is do you realise how bad the cost of living is now in Tasmania?
My sis went to high school there for a year. We went and picked her up when the exchange was finished. Hobart was super comfy British colonial architecture, okay food.Countryside felt a bit hillbilly, but the nature was awesome. It's gonna be good if you're looking to slowdown. You are however in the jurisdiction of a fascist country, namely Australia.
>>2729582Very curious about Australia's 'facist' policies that I keep seeing rightoids sperg about.
>>2729592You don't recall how they locked everyone in their homes put some in concentration camps and forced them to get deathshots? They would even let you leave the country. That's extreme radical ubėr farleft fascism pal
>>2729597you didn't hear about the breeding camps and insect protein factories they put us in?
>>2729468>The big question is where are you moving from?Melbourne>The second question is do you realise how bad the cost of living is now in Tasmania?I don't mind. It'll be better with a "long term" contract job than living on cenno and various gig economy bullshit. A slower pace to get my shit together, and not be homeless, is good.>>2729592>Very curious about Australia's 'facist' policies that I keep seeing rightoids sperg about.Its far from fascism, but it is becoming concerningly authoritarian. Starting your own business is impossibly bureaucratic, power is being consolidated into the hands of a few, lots of kneejerk reaction legislation flying through all levels of parliament without a second thought or any sunset clauses, and so on. Have a look at the 3G network shutdown, only government approved mobile phones are allowed to be used.The main thing is that they keep censoring shit on the internet. It is really really really obvious. Forcing social media companies to remove videos of events (Church stabbings, terrorist attacks, Victorian police corralling protesters into the War Memorial and then opening fire onto them, ongoing court cases and so on) arresting people for posts on social media (see the video of them dragging a pregnant woman out of her house for wanting to protest the Melbourne lockdowns, or the academics that were posting their research during the pandemic, or people who link torrents). Requiring journalists, both local and foreign, to have a license to film and upload demonstrations/protests/political activism despite them being conducted in public areas (see Jewish journalist Avi Yemini or Sri Lankan journalist Rukshan Fernando). Its also the fact that its not even hard to bypass websites or content they block, just change your DNS to 8.8.8.8, but the fact that the majority of Australians praise and support these policies makes the vocal minority seethe to no end.https://www.esafety.gov.au/newsroom/whats-on/online-safety-act

>>2730163we're full anyway
>>2730163they shouldn't let them in at all
>>2729592Probably means you'll get fined for rough camping after a patrolling police helicopter spots that worst of social evils...someone enjoying nature without government permission.
>>2730114Yeah if you’re from Melbourne you might actually not mind it. Most of the night life in Hobart is around Salamanca and north Hobart. It gets fucking cold and rains a lot and generally is depressingly overcast. The people can be pretty weird too. Not a lot of 20-40 year olds in Tassie they mostly leave like I did. Truth be told it’s an improvement on Melbourne but nothing close to Qld.
>>2729592Respond to all of these nice people, or were you just finding a reason to bitch about le right wing?>>2729597>>2730114>>2730163Respond>>2729592
>>2730163>candace owensTo be honest though, she was specifically called out in that Christchurch mosque shooter's manifesto as one of his inspirations to carry out the attack. Sure, he was a bit of a shitposter, but there is at least some direct and easily accessible information tying Owens to terrorism. The government makes some pretty shit calls when it comes to this stuff, but this honestly is far from the shittest one they've made in recent years.People like her and her ilk seem to be doing this attentionwhoring all the time now too though, you'd think it'd be overplayed by now but the seppos keep eating all the shit these talking heads spew. Being "Banned from Australia" is an easy way for them to get credit in their circles. Its almost mindless credentialism at this point, on par with making your own patreon alternative because your opinions are "too controversial" or whatever.>>2730678Ah, that's good. I suffer a lot in the summer, the one week a year that Melbourne gets 40C+ days is pain, especially since neither me or my parents have never been able to afford a place with air conditioning. The fact that I can count the times I have seen snow on one hand is unnatural when my ancestors spend months out of every year in it.> The people can be pretty weird too.How weird is weird? I just assume they're all old hippies with pickled brains, meth addicts that never had the capacity to make it on the mainland, a few mid life crisis cunts that dropped out of their million dollar a year job to run an artisan butter shop (where the secret is that they sing to the cows), and a bunch of inbreds that are related to everyone in their small town of 100 people that've come to the "big city."

Karma us gonna be a bitch for this loser
>>2730793Minimum wage in Australia is AU$24.10/h
>>2730979Lmao australian $ are worth like 20 cents in purchasing power

>>2728596Would like to visit some day. One of the few places in Oz with an agreeable climate. - WA anon

>>2728596Tasmania looks like a jock strap.hahahahahahaha
>>2730114>Starting your own business is impossibly bureaucraticWe literally have one of the highest rates of small business ownership in the world, I think it might even be THE highest by some metrics
>>2731464>We literally have one of the highest rates of small business ownership in the worldStarting an actual business that does stuff is extremely difficult. Starting some subcontracting business that does sweetfuck all, that essentially exists for tax write-offs and government grant sponging, is pretty much essential as we have a dogshit economy that only buys shit from China. Sure, I can pop down to Bunnings and buy a hammer and then say I'm a handyman (and the government will give me thousands upon thousands of dollars a year to do so), but want to actually make the hammer itself? Impossible. I can buy the iron and coal needed from the local mine for next to nothing, I can buy the wood for the handle a town over from the loggers, I can pay my workers a living wage, and I can do it far cheaper than some oriental dropshipper, but the licenses and environmental impact statements and legally required sustainable development goals and this and that all the other government dicksucking that goes along with it is impossible to navigate, a simple 5 step process is just hindered at every step of the way and it ends up turning into a 100 step process 5 years in the making.Its easy to concede that there a lot of do-nothing unproductive businesses that barely break even and only provide purposefully intangible services, but stuff like manufacturing or whatever doesn't exist. We are not a country of value adding businesses.
>>2728596looks cool
