We have loved Tassie for years now. Loving it and leaving the safe haven of job security, family and friends, is two different things, and somewhat daunting. I have just told my manager that I will be leaving in Sept, for a new life in Tassie. I think she was the first one I have told that didn't say "Its cold down there". Which has been the going phrase. I think most people don't think that Tasmanian's have the capability to warm their homes, cars and work places. As for me, I am not planning to sit outside with no clothes on. Tasmania opens up a lot of opportunities for us. Being able to afford to life near a river, where we can anchor "The mistress" an Auckland 34ft sloop, called Oasis 11, aswell as leaving the local rat race that our current environment , has become.Well the reality of a sea change in Tasmania is becoming real. Its exciting. Change keeps you young.
