[QUOTE=Dom the Pom;5684792]The thread is entitled Tasmania??


So if you 'dont want to hear it,' on an open forum, then p!ss off to another thread.


actually i think thats what you need to go and do, and stop annoying everyone.

If you look back on the thread Sam, you'll find that the rudeness started against me when I posted an honest opinion about Tasmania.

This often occurs on the forum after you've struck a nerve with somebody. It's an instinctive natural response, to defend a decision that, deep down inside, they have grave doubts about.

Tasmania is a very dramatic and beautiful place. But to migrate there from England for anything other than if you have family settled there is pure dream land.

Can we please stick to the topic? Some people like Perth, some like Tassie, some like neither. Everyone has their own reasons for heading to the different parts of Australia. No harm in a bit of realism, but please don't be to negative about the choices others have made.

A well worn phrase, but worth repeating - "don't criticise a man until you have wlaked a mile in his shoes"

And after all that, if you can't agree, or at least debate nicely, can you please just ignore each other and quit rising to the bait

Thanks.

I have read back over the thread and i apologise if you think it was I being rude in the first place, but sorry you havent struck a nerve, i just dont see what the downer is on Tas from your point of view. Why is it pure dreamland, do you feel that people cant settle there unless they have family there already ? This is a genuine question x

WOW......and I thought I got bad PMT!!!!
We couldn't decide between Perth and Tas for months..............then Tas won when I read a thread about the amount of pollutants being pumped into the air from Rockingham up We were going to live in Kwinana too, but the Government have admitted the pollution and stated that's why the cancer rate had gone up in those areas!!!!

Tas maybe harder to get to, have less sun etc.........but at least me and my family will be much happier and toxic free there!!!
Tas Rocks!!!!!!

I can assure you that i would not move my family to the other side of the world after just a "summer visit" to Oz. This whole immigration process has been going on for more than 2 years - and is not over yet until we decide when to actually move.... We did not just use our time in Tas to "holiday" - my partner saw prospective employers etc....but why i am justifying any decision me or my family make to you i do not know. I have looked through several other threads that you have been involved in before and it seems that you quite enjoy getting people's backs up. Perhaps you're not happy in your own life in Sunny Perth?
As the moderator has since said - you do not know any of us posters on this site, our situation in life or our dreams/ambitions - so to say that we are all about to move a "life shattering upheaval" makes me want to laugh....
Maybe you can leave all of us genuinely happy to thinking about Tas people alone to come to our own conclusions on the place....and if any of us make a mistake in choosing the place - then that's life!

He's a troll who delights in putting down Tas and the people who like it.

Please don't rise to the bait as it only encourages him.

thanks, i guess i got sucked in, it wont happen again, i will continue to think of Tas as i always have done.

Any advice on suburbs around Hobart? We will hopefully be working at the Royal Hobart hospital but dont mind up to 30 minute commute. A beach suburb would be ideal with a primary school. Our budget will be fairly tight so max of $300 a week in rent (im hoping we can get 2/3 bed + garden). Is this realistic?

Thanks!

Here is the search results for some rentals in Hobart - sound's like you should look for Kingston or Blackman's Bay areas if you want Beach. Sandy Bay has a beach too - don't know how nice it is having never been to it.

yesterday a report appeared in The Mercury from AAMI, a home contents insurer, about where the most house burglary claims in Tas originate.

Top of the list was Claremont followed by Glenorchy, Moonah, Lenah Valley, Howrah, Lindisfarne (all around Hobart area), Devonport, Burnie, Launceston and Ulverstone.

Fabulous beach, AMAZING real estate prices...

The other thing to point out about Scotland is its full of bloody midges!! Might aswell move to Perth WA!!!

beachfront Sandy Bay, that is....

I'd rather put up with Scottish midges than WA flies-at least midges respond to insect repellent !
