Anyone got any intel on the two choppers flying over glenorchy and the derwent?
Hi all,
Really looking for some suggestions for hedging plants. I would like to plan some hedges to cover up our side fence, and screen out the neighbours a bit. It's a sunnyish spot (east facing fence).
I was thinking patostrums, but a colleague mentioned a Tasmania plant that would get red flowers in summer as an alternative. I can't for the life life of me remember the name though, it was Tasmanian dwarf something.
Does any one have suggestions?
Thanks
A bit of a specific question I guess... when it was operating I thought it was an odd location for a pub. It's the white building with black roof that has small light brown brick units above it. Went past it today while looking for it, mustn't have paid enough attention. It looks like it's used for non-residential but no signage.
Anyone possibly have any insight into the property market as in whether there are bidding wars and how much over asking properties usually go for?
Is anyone else about age 16 going to the pride march for 2025 in Hobart tomorrow afternoon? Had some friends cancel on me and I'd love to make new friends :))
I really want to get a tattoo however I’m kinda hesitant as I really don’t want to be the first poc person.That an artist does I’m also scared of getting a blowout tattoo.I’m thinking off looking into Melbourne artists as an alternative option as well.Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks.
Does anyone know how to contact the acro yoga group practicing in St David’s Park today around 5ish? I tried looking at Facebook but didn’t have much luck. They were a small group different to the group that does the balancing work every Friday.
I was in a situation today where I needed help and they very kindly made sure I was ok. Didn’t get to thank them properly would love to send them a proper message if I could. Thanks in advance!
First off, it's a web page buried several levels deep on the transport site, you can't just tap on a stop, you have to be nearby or know the street address of the stop. I can't understand why they did it like this. Why not wait a little longer and have it on google maps? This was the plan from the first place.
Hello
Wondering if anyone has done some sleuthing around the print shops in Hobart regarding pricing (not crazy expensive) for printing ones own illustrations. Or if anyone is currently using a particular, trustworthy business to print their own work - I'd love to know!
Having a chat with some friends about Charlie Browns HotDogs in Argyle St in the 70/80s. Was the one at the bottom of Macquarie St also Charlie Browns? Side note, was the chicken burger place next to Hoyts and under the T&G building called ‘Chickadee’? Accessed either from the Hoyts lobby, or a door on Murray St that had stairs leading down.
Tasmania is the only state in Australia that has no law protecting the rights of residents in Caravan and Tourist Parks who own their own units and, as such, are not covered by the Tenancy Act.
This is a statewide issue, and something needs to be done about it. There is currently a parliamentary petition urging the government to pass much needed legislation to protect the rights of residents. The petition closes on the 11th of March.
There have been unbelievable instances of elderly residents (some in their 90s) being evicted from homes they own without cause. Others, including one instance involving a veteran, have been evicted and had their homes sold without their consent. Stuff that should be illegal but amazingly isn't because of this gap in legislation.
I urge you to read the petition, sign it, and share it with your friends. It only takes a minute to do. Thanks! https://haepetitions.parliament.tas.gov.au/haepet/Home/PetitionDetails/128?title=Petition%20Details
Hello I start my automotive course on Monday and I'm wondering what I should wear to the first day?
Valentine’s Day is coming up and I want to do a nice picnic. Aside from the botanical gardens, any nice spots? Bonus points if it’s still nice if the weather sucks.
Sorry i know i post here alot. Anyway are there any art shops besides artery? I dont even mean art supplies specifically, it could just be places that sell sewing supplies or trinkets. Just anything creating related i suppose. Thanks!
We have water under our house and looks like some of the stumps are a bit dodgy. Does anyone know who in Hobart can fix drainage and fix/replace stumps under your house? Has anyone had a similar experience and know who to least talk to?
Hey Hobart I am looking for a make up artist that specialises in south asian make up look (brown skin) Any suggestions would be appreciated🙏🏽
Does anyone know how to find out who is talking about or linking your small business on reddit. I have been receiving a lot of interest from reddit on my website. Thanks
Anybody know good stores for goth/emo clothes? Specifically low-key clothes, like baggy tees and jackets.
Hey team, bit of an odd one. Purchased a sofa from Koala and want to return it. Was confident that the 120 day trial would cover us but we're aware we were in a 'regional area' so they would not be able to pick up. Turns out they don't have any returns relationship with the Tasmanian based courier who delivered and that we have to organise all aspects of freight back to the Melbourne depot ourselves. We are a bit stuck as to what to do and which courier services we might be able to use - also conscious of a potential hefty price tag! It sure sucks being in Tassie for these type of things sometimes. Would be great to hear any experiences or advice on courier or freight options ☺️ TIA

Anyone know what the helicopters over Kingston are related to?
There's been at least six in the last two days. Usually flight id 1200 or 3000 Aircraft type B214. Flying at somewhere between 600 and 1000 ft. Passing by 10:30am or 7:30pm in convoys of two or three.
The noise is unpleasant for me while the are overhead.
Is this a new commercial thing? Training flights? Fire control? SES what? I can't seem to find any information about them.
New shop and I live in the area and have noticed the type of foot traffic which has definitely got my wondering if it's a front haha.
I’m in town and have quite a lot of work so don’t want to be peopling. Is there anywhere that does decent delivery or take away dumplings?
