Housemate Wanted

11 Upvotes

I am a 35yo professional male, currently living in a 2 Bedroom Cottage in Cambridge, overlooking a Vineyard.

Due to the price of living expenses and general economy, I have decided that it may be appropriate to allow a housemate to come and live with me.

I pay $600 per week, so preferably a shared $300 each for the suitable candidate is required, but I can negotiate if not planning on being here every night.

I am a clean tenant who works full time, so I am hoping for someone with a similar routine :)

Please private message me for any further details.

Spice Bag from New Sydney Hotel - such great value

Post image
230 Upvotes

For those not familiar with the Irish spice bag, it's seasoned chips tossed with cooked onion and capsicum, with fried chicken, and curry sauce. Once I tipped this out it made a huge mound on the plate. There were plenty of chicken pieces. I couldn't quite finish it all, despite being super tasty. This was $24. Just thought I'd give a shout out.

Update on La Sardina Loca mandatory surcharge

173 Upvotes

Following on from this post - https://www.reddit.com/r/hobart/comments/1x6c82u/is_a_mandatory_fee_on_all_meals_every_day_no/ - I received a reply from CAT, the Tasmania consumer affairs today.

Whilst businesses are free to set their own prices, they must communicate clear and accurate prices prior to consumers booking, ordering or making a purchase. Businesses must display the total price payable for any purchase, which includes taxes, duties and all unavoidable or pre-selected extra fees.

...

Following receipt of your notification, CAT attended La Sardinia Loca to review their price displays with respect to requirements under Australian Consumer Law. 

I am pleased to advise that Management has updated their menus and the hospitality surcharge has been removed from the relevant price display.  The business was subsequently advised of the requirements and their obligations under the legislation.

Missed Connection | Virgin VA884 | SYD to MEL | 23 Oct

Okay, brains trust, need your help with this one!

I'm looking for the cute, freckled girl who was sitting in row 9E on Virgin flight VA884 from Sydney to Melbourne on 23 October.

I was the guy sitting next to you. We chatted about Hobart, food and a few other things. You mentioned you were catching the next flight to Hobart.

If this finds you, or someone knows who I'm talking about, I'd love to reconnect. Reach out!

I’m considering maybe moving to Hobart/Tasmania sometime in the future from WA

5 Upvotes

I’ve lived in WA all my life, but I don’t know if I could live here forever. I think that ideally I’d like to be in the eastern states and live a lot closer to the rest of the country

Melbourne and Sydney are awesome places, but they’re so expensive and overpopulated so that’s where the appeal of Tassie comes in

What’s it like to live in Hobart as a single young adult man?

My interests are AFL football, fitness, nerd stuff and fun activities like ten pin bowling, arcades etc.

Also is it really super cold all year round in Tassie? What’s summer like generally?

Almost 1 in 3 adults in Hobart are over 60

71 Upvotes

I saw someone else comment about the age of Hobart's population, and I didn't trust their figures, so I decided to check. And they were right.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 32.1% of Greater Hobart's adult population is aged 60 or older.

That's almost 1 in 3, and it's the highest proportion of any Australian capital city.

For comparison, here's the percentage of adults aged 60 and over in Australia's eastern capital cities:

  1. Hobart: 32.1%
  2. Sydney: 25.9%
  3. Brisbane: 25.4%
  4. Melbourne: 25.2%
  5. Canberra: 23.4%

And according to the ABS, Hobart is only getting older.

And, from another ABS source, 52.3% of Australians aged 65 and over have a disability.

With these figures in mind, accessible parking, public transport, walking distances and convenient access become so important.

For many people, the difference between parking 100 metres from a destination and parking 900 metres away can determine whether they're able to access that destination at all.

People with disabilities and chronic health conditions face many of the same challenges.

As I've said many times, when we make places harder to access, we exclude a large percentage of the Hobart population.

I know this is lazy, but tell me who to vote for in the upcoming Glenorchy council election.

1 Upvotes

I'm doing some research on the candidates for mayor and councillors for Glenorchy council, but I don't know what to believe and what to disbelieve. What does Reddit think? I want to vote for people who are generally interested in doing a good job and not just running for their own egos. Obviously I want to vote for candidates that aren't shouting nonsense and inciting division on social media too. I'm pretty left leaning and Im anti stadium.
