There\u2019s no doubt that interstate migration to Tasmania is growing.  In fact, a recent survey by the University of Tasmania found that there had been a 20% increase in the number of \u2018mainlanders\u2019 moving to Tasmania.  The main drivers were climate, environmental factors and lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once considered the end of the earth, Tasmania has found it\u2019s own in recent years and now provides families with an array of lifestyle options.  It is generally more affordable than most of the other capital cities, and still boasts some of the cleanest air in the world (it may not be on everyone\u2019s list, but after intense bushfire seasons in NSW and VIC it has become more front of mind). Lockdowns associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic also got people thinking about what is important in life and Tasmania undoubtedly offers a more balance lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So wondering what a move to Tasmania could bring? Below are 10 light-hearted things you and your family can expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Things slow down<\/strong> \u2013 that\u2019s not to say that there is no pressure, but there definitely seems to be less of the \u2018rat race\u2019.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. There are not so many \u201cJoneses\u201d to keep up with<\/strong>.\u00a0 You won\u2019t be judged for dropping your kid off at school 30 seconds after the bell has gone, with your nightie still obviously tucked into the trackpants you\u2019ve thrown on to get out the door. \u00a0If your child is dressed, has the resemblance of a packed lunch and a sun hat, you\u2019ll be fine.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Dads play a more active role!<\/strong>\u00a0 This is just my observation, but there seems to be more ability\/willingness for Dads to be involved.\u00a0 At school pick up, swimming lessons, or at the playground (at 10 am on a Tuesday), you\u2019ll notice just as many Dads as Mums.\u00a0 It\u2019s refreshing.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. You\u2019ll find your kids are interested in outdoor activities<\/strong> you\u2019d never thought of.\u00a0 Mountain biking, orienteering, hiking etc.\u00a0
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. You won\u2019t be shunned for not having a high school placement sorted<\/strong> by the time your child can walk.\u00a0 This is my favourite.\u00a0 Hobart has some good Public High Schools and quite a supply of Catholic and Private schools.\u00a0 The fees are cheaper, and placements for most don\u2019t need to be secured until year 4 or 5.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Despite trying your best to resist, you will invest in a puffer jacket <\/strong>within your first six months of moving here.\u00a0 By the second year you\u2019ll have multiple, in different styles and colours.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Unfortunately, you\u2019ll still have to deal with traffic.<\/strong>\u00a0 Hobartians love their cars and as such there is still a definite peak-hour (although this finishes much earlier than in the bigger capitals).\u00a0 This is often made worse by their inability to merge (you\u2019ll know what I mean when you move here).
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. It\u2019s a nightmare to get kids to bed in the middle of summer.\u00a0<\/strong> You won\u2019t have to deal with the hot nights which make sleep unbearable, but you will curse daylight savings when it\u2019s still bright outside at 9 pm \u2013 trying to convince your children that it is well and truly past bedtime.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. We do have Uber.<\/strong>\u00a0 Just not David Jones or our own AFL team – yet.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Your skin does \u2018thicken\u2019.<\/strong>\u00a0 You\u2019ll soon find yourself telling your friends that a 20-degree day in Hobart is really like a 26 degree day in Sydney.\u00a0 And you\u2019ll believe it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Tasmania really does have some great things to offer families and as someone who was born and raised in Hobart I\u2019m comforted to know that it is now on most people\u2019s list of place to visit, if not to aspire to move to permanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
