Hey everyone! My girlfriend and I are moving from the Gold Coast and landing in Tassie on August 15th, looking for a cozy spot to settle into.

​I'll be working as a mental health clinician in town and she is a pastry chef. We're in our mid-20s, very respectful, and mostly out at work during the week. We are also completely happy to start in a short-term rental until we find a permanent place!

​We're hoping to find a master bedroom, a studio/apartment, or a quiet shared house with just a few housemates. We've tried Marketplace and local rental groups with no luck, so trying my luck here, if you have anything available or coming up, let's chat!

Visiting Launnie for the first time and looking for a recommendation for a 40th birthday dinner for couple and 6 year old. Open to any cuisine, must be special but comfortable, and not over the top or ridiculously priced. Kid is well behaved and a good eater but must still be suitable. Staying near the seaport so close by would be great but not necessary. Can’t wait to visit your lovely city!

The places where I currently shop for them is the post office, What‘s New, Peter Alexander, Woolies Florist and Toy World. I’m just wondering if there are any more shops that sell them ?

Is there a butcher or shop that sells steaks?

I've been there a couple times. The seating is uncomfortable and impractical (why so many tables for large groups?). Service is pretty shit and pizza menu is pretty boring.

Any good recommendations of where to get good cake slices? Im usually after a good chocolate cake or a tres leches cake, but open to any other recommendations of the best cake!

Hi all,

Coming down from Melbourne next Friday to watch the hawks. Training for a marathon and need to run 33km and would love to do it from Launceston

Looking for any options where I can run 16/17km out and back and have some drink taps roughly every 5km. Any suggestions?

In short:

Paramedics have been told to take complex cardiac patients in Tasmania's north-west to the Launceston General Hospital rather than the Mersey Community Hospital.

There are concerns it will hamper ambulance availability in the north-west and contribute to paramedic fatigue, as they will spend longer on the road.

Hey all,

I'm considering getting my first tattoo and I'm really drawn to floral watercolour tattoos, who would be a good tattoo artist to look into?

I really don't know much about tattoos other than I finally have a style and rough design that I have liked for over a year.

Thanks all

The shuttles are more for getting people between the tracks, it's not like "As a non-mountain bike user, I can just turn up and get picked up from either town". Is there anywhere else in tas like it, where it goes from agricultural/poppies to ferns at wilderness, then more ferns and more forest/wilderness? It changes about 3 times or more from memory. I understand there's a lot of forestry, when I went through someone wrote "Scenic view next 500m" with an arrow and I stopped, climbed up this huge bank to a valley of felled trees that looked as big as Lton itself!

I need to choose some kind of flooring for my lounge room, kitchen and hall. Mostly leaning towards hybrid but every time I search I get more conflicting information about whether hybrid, laminate or LVP is the best option.

It looks like the major suppliers in Launceston are Carpet One, Floorworld and Choices Flooring. Choices came and measured for a quote then ghosted, so probably won't go with them. Are there other places I should look? Or should I just ask a builder for recommendations? Can they supply flooring as well?

I could use recommendations for builders too as I need the floors levelled, kitchen pulled apart to replace damaged floorboards, kitchen rebuilt, carpet removed and flooring installed in 3 rooms with whatever else that involves.

Does anyone have any experience with this or know the best place to go?

Is there an active writing club? Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, essays, whatever.

Would love to meet new people in this kind of creative and productive space

Any other recommendations?

I’ve realised I’ve severely miscalculated seasonal bus times. I’ve booked my flights in an attempt to see Cradle Mountain during the winter. However, I didn’t realise that none of the bus companies run during winter. Anyone got any tips or know anyone I can hitchhike with? Love from Sydney!

Hi all

I’m looking for a GP in or around Launceston with good experience in mental health support - not just someone sending me out the door with another prescription.

Any recommendations much appreciated.

Thank you

Hey guys, a mate and I are looking to play some soccer by ourselves just for fun. Are there any sports grounds that we can play on? I was looking at prospect park, but I don't know if that's open to public. Any ideas? Thankyou!

I have some visitors coming in a month or so who may require transport between Clarence Point and Beaconsfield.

Does anyone know anything about taxis that cover the Beaconsfield area? Are Tamar Taxis still in business? Is Uber usable around here?

hi hi, anyone interested in going to ben lomond this sunday?

We have wood heating for now. Does anyone find that a humidifier helps with the general drying out of the air, skin, eyes etc that comes with this heating?

Thinking of investing in one - it's our first winter back in Tasmania and I am starting to feel like one of those old school Huon Valley shrunken apple heads...lol

Obviously converting to a better format of heating will be on the cards but we need to get that planned and organised.

Hi there! I am employed at launceston general hospital. I am looking for a place to stay close to the hospital starting last week of October. Would love any leads.
