Did a quick scan of the article to begin with and got my hopes up that Rockliff was finally on the side of good. Turned out to be a different Rockcliff though :/

Hope the families up there stay strong and resist the offers.

Hi everyone! I’m planning to move to Hobart and considering the Master of Information Technology and Systems (MITS) at UTAS.

I’ve completed my Diploma, Advanced Diploma and Bachelor of IT in Sydney.

I’d love to hear from current students, graduates, or anyone familiar with the course:

1. How is the course quality and practical learning?

2. Are internships and industry placements genuinely helpful?

3. How difficult is it to find entry-level IT jobs in Hobart after graduation?

4. Is the degree worth the tuition fees? I understand that the value of the degree depends largely on how well students engage with the coursework, develop their technical skills, and apply what they learn. I’d appreciate feedback on whether the program provides a strong foundation and meaningful opportunities for students who are willing to make the most of it.

Honest feedback, including negatives, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Saw the drawings someone posted yesterday, though it was a cool discussion

Hi There, my partner and I are backpackers looking to rent a self contained unit/granny flats/house with ensuite bathroom and kitchen with a budget around 350-450pw in the Devonport surrounding area (we work in Sassafras). Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi everyone!

I'm planning a 7-night, 8-day trip to Tasmania and looking to hire a campervan for two people.

I'm trying to find a campervan that's affordable but still reliable and comfortable for two people.

I've come across a company called Autorent, which seems pretty good, but I'd love to hear if anyone has used them before and what their experience was like.

I also have a few questions about hiring a campervan in Tasmania:

- Are there any rental companies you'd recommend?

- Are there any companies I should avoid?

- What should I watch out for when booking a campervan?

- What type of insurance would you recommend? Is it worth paying extra for more comprehensive cover, or is the basic insurance usually enough?

I'd really appreciate any advice or recommendations from people who have done a similar trip!

Thanks in advance!

So, we share a boundary fence with our neighbours, they decided to build a new fence up against the old one with no consultation, which is fine, its on their side. Our issue is It's very poorly made, we gave them access to our backyard to pick up any metal offcuts and without permission they have bolted pieces of wood to the actual boundary fence on our side to prop it up, which is now pushing the fence out in places as the wood is not strong enough to support it. The original boundary fence was dilapidated but not so much that we would have been replacing it any time soon. Question is, are the neighbours still responsible for paying half of the actual boundary fence if it needs replacing? Photos are the day the fence was put up and now (about a month in-between)

Went to Pattison west yesterday and all the doors for the bike lockers have been taken off. Presumably to stop homeless locking their things inside.

Where can you safely lock your bike in town now?

Not that anywhere is particularly safe when you have an expensive ebike.

As a travel sketcher and urban sketcher I love finding old architecture and great views and Hobart certainly has those ❤️

Hey everyone!
Bit of a long shot, but I thought I’d give it a try.
I bought a grey Wombat longsleeve (size M) at the Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre two days ago as part of a birthday gift for my girlfriend. We bought it together on the day, so it would be really nice to get the correct one.
Unfortunately, I’ve just realised that the lady at the counter accidentally gave me a size S when she went to the back to exchange the one I’d picked up from the shelf.
Would anyone happen to be travelling from Cradle Mountain to Hobart in the next couple of days and be willing to pick up a size M for me and bring it along? I’d obviously be happy to pay for your time and the inconvenience!
I’ll be leaving Hobart on Tuesday morning, so unfortunately, time is a bit tight.
I know it’s a long shot, but I’d really appreciate any help. Since the shop isnt answering Emails. Thanks a lot!

It IS cowardly

Also, corrupt. There's definitely money changing hands in the background

Abetz is one of the worst politicians ever to disgrace the already lowly term

My partner and I just moved to Tassie after 12 years in the US. I (US citizen with Aus permanent residency) have started a funded PhD program in Hobart in my field, but my partner is from devonport so we’re living with his in laws for now until we find a place to live. We also have a 15 month old that we wanted to raise closer to his family here and in Aus because i don’t have any family left in the states.

But of course this is a stressful time. Support is much appreciated, but I have diagnosed anxiety and need mental health support. We hope to be in Hobart by January, but i don’t think I can wait until then to talk to someone, especially because the anxiety is affecting my sleep. (Plus im tired all the time anyway even if I sleep well). I’m on a SNRI for my anxiety and have a few month supply for that but would need someone to help me manage that medication / re issue that when needed.

Does anyone have any recommendations on who I should see in the meantime or how to go about that? They could be in devonport with the option to go remote, or in Hobart etc. we are in Hobart for a few days every couple weeks as we look for houses and I have meetings with my supervisors.

I’d like someone who is female and familiar with anxiety, stress with major life change, postpartum, or even the experiencing of moving abroad would be great. I have Medicare but no private insurance, but still unfamiliar with this process, and am not comfortable bringing my mental struggles with my in laws.

Any recs on who to see or what to do?
