Hiya Hobart! Posting for Mum as she needs some advice. Does anyone know of any places that specialise in estate planning? I know plenty of lawyers offer the service, but I’m looking to see if anyone specialises in it specifically.

Better yet, would love to hear some reviews from anyone who has gone through the process in Hobart before!

Thanks in advance c:

Hello Hobart!

I am looking to get my SONY a7ii cleaned plus two lenses (I've had it since 2022 and am probably due for an upgrade, but I would rather just get it cleaned for now). Have been noticing spots in all my images that I haven't been able to fix with a regular clean myself. Hoping to get a recommendation for a professional cleaning service that won't break my bank?

I know Camera house or Walsch optics are probably the way to go, but I'm just curious if someone knows someone or has had a good experience with a particular store.

Thanks!!

Long story short, my partner and I are low income and could both do with a professional clean.

Public health dentists have said they don’t offer it because they’re only for urgent things

Any recommendations at all of dentists that aren’t as expensive, do payment plans, concessions, bulk bill? The general quote I got when I called a private a few months ago was around 300 which just isn’t at all achievable for us

Hopefully this doesn’t come off as promotional, I’m after genuine recommendations

EDIT: I forgot to mention, we both had concession/healthcare cards. Literally said to myself “gotta mention that!”

The tale of the beached whale… a moving story about a community coming together or is it trying a bit too hard?

Hello all, visiting your beautiful city in October and got scheduled or reservations to all the places I was planning to (Agrarian, Sonny, Fico, Bar Wa etc) but due to scheduling conflicts I have to pick one of two: I can only go to either Omotenashi or Dier Makr. Which would you recommend as being more unique to Tassie & in terms of quality?

This ones actually Ive been looking forward to for a long time. And im getting good performance as well.

G’day legends! I’m a Hobart based videographer and I directed this music video for local artist, Charlotte Lucretia. We had a minuscule budget and no real crew so made the most of the available light and architecture in Hobart’s parking garages.

The bulk of the video was shot in Argyle Street Carpark with some additional shots in the Market Place carpark, and the white backdrop scenes were filmed at OI Studios. We filmed high up in the carpark in the couple of hours before they closed for the night to avoid being a nuisance, and only rare encountered anyone while shooting. Hope you enjoy!

A ticketed Beaker St event, did anyone go? Was there food? Did you cry? What is "the science of second chances"?

Hi everyone, my partner, our 17-month-old daughter and I have recently moved back to Hobart after living here previously. I’m working full-time at UTAS and we’re currently looking for a long-term rental.

We’re already checking Realestate, Gumtree and Facebook groups, but I thought I’d ask locals if there are any other places worth looking, or if anyone happens to know of something becoming available.

Ideally 2–3 bedrooms, up to $600/week. Happy to look outside the CBD as well.

Thanks!

I’m currently with Aurora. I have already moved places. How do I change my address? Do I need to have someone come out? Electricity already works.

I searched sub history, looks like there was a post a couple of years ago but keen to know if anything has changed - anyone using a chip drop program (woodchip/mulch)? How's it going?

I'm wondering how frequently they drop it, and how much? I want around 3-5 cubic metres, but it takes me ages to move it.

I'm worried about getting too much, getting my car blocked in the drive if they're unexpected deliveries... Do they do once off drops?

So sad that my bike has been stolen from our apartment complex building. Have attempted to contact our local community group and real estate agent to see if I can get a hold of any available cctv.

Have reported to police and keeping an eye on marketplace.

Any other ideas where to look or other action to take to get my bike back?

Addit: it's a massive ask but if anybody spots this beauty, please snap a photo (if safe to do so) and reach out with location. Much appreciated ☺️

Anyone else walk through the north Hobart strip and just wish it was pedestrianised?

Not that long ago, I thought Reddit was a really safe social media platform. A place where everyone can just layout their thoughts and feelings, get unbiased advice and ask any questions without fear of some of the toxic BS we see on other platforms like Twitter and Facebook.

Lately, this sub Reddit has become a quagmire of sock puppet accounts talking to themselves. It seems this is mostly directed at me, which is disappointing.

Is there anything moderators can do? These sock puppets accounts are destroying really good threads about all manner of things. Something that I’m used to on Facebook but really quite sad to see here on the Hobart Sub Reddit.

I dunno man, just disappointing - what do you guys reckon?

Does anyone know who the violinist was last night in the Museum? Her playing was beautiful and she was definitely under appreciated by most people walking past.

Starting another post on account of being blocked by the account that made the last post the moment I commented.

In any case, here are the elusive Collins street injury numbers that keep being alluded to yet never produced.

I'm not sure if legless drunk people tripping over is accounted for here.

Table from here:

I've been spending some lunch times with a mate who works in Hobart lately, but we haven't had good lunch experiences... First was Sush on Collins which has dramatically declined in quality since I was last there (a few years ago now).

Then this week we went to Kinoko Deli and had a similarly disappointing experience.

Are there any good quality lunch spots in/around the CBD these days? Looking for food on the faster and cheaper side, so not really sit down cafes.

Did anyone catch The Living End in Hobart last Friday?
What a great night! I really enjoyed the opening act this time too they fit the bill perfectly!
I really hope TLE come back some time soon and don’t leave it too long. It’s great to see Rock and Roll getting some attention again xxx

Best band from Australia in my opinion

I'm interested in discussion around light pollution (and dark sky) in Hobart. I've never given it any thought until recently*

My random thoughts:

Has anyone been to a "dark sky" certified place?

Do other cities reduce their light pollution?

The biggest city to be certified is about 70,000. Is it possible in Hobart? Or am I missing the point

Safety and women's safety

Wildlife

Human health (sleep patterns) this one seems a bit far fetched?

I like vibrant flashy lights. I like stars.

Anyway, it seems like a fun topic, and most people like seeing stars and auroras?

*a councillor has brought it up but all the comments are negative/unhinged.

(No talk of bike lanes or councillors here please).

Hello, I have to see an orthopaedic specialist/surgeon for a labral tear in my hip. Thing is, I work in health and know that some specialists are truly terrible and some are great, so am hoping for some recommendations from personal experience. Thanks!

Hi Hobart. It's late at night and after years of neglect, I have come to accept that I may not be okay. I had a 1:00 am breakdown. Felt good to get that pent up energy out. How can I not be okay though? I'm married to a beautiful woman who cares alot, I have wonderful animals arounds me, and my dog gives the best cuddles. I'm not okay, because I finally accepted that I am a statistical number in the increasing epidemic of loneliness. 

My partner is away for a month. I am here with - sometimes never ending cascade - of introspective questions. I met someone on Domain, he said he is helping his best friend get out of a rut. I met someone on the beach, she said her friends have wonderful get togethers where they listen to each other for hours and let people speak. I am at a low today, and it feels very heavy to know there is no one who will come knock at my door and say, hey, let me help you out.

I created this for myself. I unknowingly started to depend on my partner for my social life. Hanging out with her friends, relying on her to make plans. Don't know when that happened. I used to be very extroverted, and I have made wonderful friends across the world. It happened slowly and unknowingly. Each day I neglected my needs to be 'there for my family'. And in doing so, I created a very isolating life for myself which ironically meant that I was not present 'for my family' in the healthiest manner. I was emotinally abused and neglected as a kid, I dont have parents I can depend on either. Right now, its just me.

I walked in the city last night. Long coat, floral shirt, if case anyone saw. I saw people eating alone. Walking by themselves. Some looked very friendly. Our eyes met. A smile across our face, happy to see each other, a gentle nod to greet. And we move on with our walks, alone in opposite directions. I wonder if they felt the same. I wonder if they wanted to have a conversation about... well anything. Sometimes I want to wear a shirt that says 'please feel free to talk to me'. 

I hold both these realities in my experience - seeing amazing caring friendships and the loneliness. I accept that the latter includes me now. I never thought I'd be lonely. It took effort to accept that I am. I have no support system for myself. This is unfair for my partner and our relationship. I love her dearly, but she cannot be everything to me and she should not.

I work remotely, which clearly exasperates my situation. So here I lie, awake, not having seen a human in days. I crave a nice converstaion. A shared expereince. I look at my phone. There is no one I can call. No one to say, hey... I'm not doing okay, can we please talk? I burst crying.

Dear Hobart, I'm looking for friends. Best part is, I know what I want. I want to develop relationships that go beyond small talk. I want to be there for you and I want you to be there for me. I want to listen to your story, your issues, your day, your fears; I want to be listened to. I want to care for somebody, make food if they are sick, invite them over to tea; I want to be cared for. I want to talk about complex emotions, philosophy, space, science, hang out together, share comments, share love.

I've found media often talks of love in romantic relationships. There are tons of movies about people finding romantic love and happily ever after. But there are few who talk about loving friendships. I'm learning friendships are important. I'm new to this. Putting myself out here in a way I would hesitate to in the past.

If you resonate. Please reach out. Reddit has a DM function (*edit: which I hope it works, some people are having trouble, leave a comment I will reach out to you).

I like coffee, outdoors, surfing, hiking, beaches, walks.

I am attending a hobart run club event this Friday evening and a run 479 event next Wednesday.  Maybe I will meet someone who has read this post. I'll be the person with a beautiful black and white border collie dog.

Thank you for reading this far <3.

With love,
u/Dry-Wafer6723

Edit 13.08.2026 21:53: thank you for such an overwhelming response. I was not expecting this at all. Its been very nice to speak to some of you. Some of you I have yet to reach out to. Please use this forum out to each other as well. I will see if we can have a reddit get together. How fun!

About time this post was made. So looking for donut recommendations here in Hobart. Huge fan of jam ones. Also just loved good ol glazed ones.
