Good morning everyone. I have some questions regarding Dark Mofo. We arriving to Tassie on June 10th-ish (maybe a day earlier) through June 23rd-ish.

We booked Tasmania this year to partake in and witness the Dark Mofo shenanigans as well as explore. We currently have a hotel secured downtown and tickets for Night Mass booked for the 13th.

My question is, can anyone give me a run down of events? Is this an all day thing during the festival or are most events starting in the evening? We thought about leaving the 15th (missing the final night) and then heading out to explore more of Tas before returning for the solstice swim in the 21st. Are the festival days jam packed with stuff to do or should I be looking at booking Bruny Island, UnZoo, MONA during the day and then at night the festival starts? Also thoughts on skipping the final night of the 15th?

In order to better shape my itinerary for non Dark Mofo days I'm hoping to get a bit more insight on Dark Mofo itself in terms of events/activities and if they are night time events or if this debauchery extends to daylight hours as well haha.

Thank you so much for your insights. I sincerely appreciate them! Apologies in advance in my if my questions or sentence structure don't make sense. I just got off working night shift so I have, arguably, like 3 brain cells at the moment.

Who in Tasmania (preferably Launceston area) does Electrolysis? Or is that not a thing anymore

Hi all, I’m relocating to Tasmania from north WA and I’m finding the logistics rather overwhelming. We are driving one car and shipping the other one. Does anyone have a company to recommend? And would like to share personal experiences? Counting delivery times I’m really thinking about driving. Thanks! Can’t wait to be there though 🙃

Hi! Looking for an event coordinator in the Launceston area who can cancel a community event? Preferably spark so much backlash that the community leads the event’s resurrection- and then can swoop back in, gaslight that the event wasn’t really cancelled in the first place, and claim credit for its resurrection? Applicants of any background welcome. No time-wasters. Immediate start.

Maps without Tasmania.

Hey,

My wife and I are currently on the east coast of Tasmania. Since the weather is not too great currently we thought about doing a wellness/sauna day tomorrow.

In Europe we have spa centers with multiple different saunas and relaxation areas where you pay once and can then stay the whole day. Is there anything like this in Tasmania somewhere, preferably around Hobart? I spend some time searching and found a single place where we could stay the whole day with a pool and one sauna, but I don’t know if I searched with the right buzzwords. Maybe that’s just an european thing and it doesn’t exist around here 😅

Thanks!

Hi all

I'll be moving back to Tassie to give birth next year & to get support from family (we are in Latrobe). To those who have given birth (or know someone who has given birth) in NWRH - Burnie hospital, what are your experience like?

I have only seen negative things on the news...and I am a bit nervous.

However, my GP in QLD used to work in Burnie & told me it is a decent hospital.

So I am just wondering...

Thank you!

hi Tas team! I’m very curious about this..

there used to be a massage place in Glenorchy, up above where the police station used to be, called Asian Hands.

I always sort of suspected it was a ‘happy ending’ type massage place - my (female, very naive) friend went there once and a couple of things she said about the rooms made me suspicious.

Can anyone confirm/deny the availability of handy finishes at this establishment?

Per the title, any good recommendations for a professional, friendly fishing charter on Tasman Peninsula please - 4 adults who are all yet to catch a really big one :)

I'm a plant collector and thinking of moving to Tasmania when the time is right. It'll be painful to have to restart from the beginning, is there any way that I could bring my plants over with me?

Ok so I’m looking at moving from qld down to tassie to be around family for my child as I have no immediate family up here since my fathers passing and want my kid to be around family so I have a place to live there but I was wondering how employment is around the Burnie/wynyard area I’ve been doing security work for about 6 years but haven’t really done much other work and I was also wondering about daycare/school as my kid is only 2 years old sorry to spam and my poor grammar thanks in advance

I received conditional approval already, and want to know next step. Banker and conveyancer both mentioned about purchase agreement, and they are both waiting for this document to be sent from the other party.

Possibly someone is holding everything up, hope any advice from people who knows the process of Myhome Tasmania.

Forgot to say, vendor accept offer in early November.

Hey guys, I’m coming to visit Tasmania next month, and I’m keen on having fresh/cold seafood, especially abalone, so please let me know any recommendations you have! Thanks in advance :)

Hi. I'm a small YouTube creator from suburban Launceston, and I am working on a video for improving regional public transportation across the state. What are some good (and realistic) ideas that could be implemented within a decade. Some ideas I have so far are:

1. Bus link to Launceston Airport

2. Increased frequency so all routes get at least 2 services a day in each direction to/from their nearest major centre.

3. Reinstating regular bus services between Hobart and the West Coast.

4. A regular, public bus server from Devonport or Launceston to Cradle Mountain, mainly to serve the tourism industry.

5. Considering implementing some passenger rail trials along the Northwest Coast or the Meander Valley, using basic platforms and leased rollingstock.

6. Making all regional services compatible with the Greencard to allow for easy transfers.

7. Live tracking for all public transport services across the state

8. Construction of new bus interchanges to allow for seamless transfers and adequate facilities (cough cough Launceston interchange)

9. Simplifying the network by removing school deviations from regular maps

10. Building more facilities such as shelters, timetables, and maps at stops.

Mainly arguing at 9am, midnight, 5am... and using the common driveway late at night with music going. They've never had a loud party though and I think they pick up on the vibe that we do our partying elsewhere in this neighbourhood to make it really nice and quiet during sleeping hours. Unfortunately most people I get in, don't like this.

Hi All,

Would like to see if there’s any wineries that are highly recommended to visit in tasmania! We will be around hobart, launceston & stanley!

And also, how do you guys usually go there? driving / uber?

Hi! So I’m moving to Tasmania next year to do a Bachelor of Arts with a major of history, and because I’m not the smartest I didn’t check reviews of it until just now and am a lot more worried about what it will be like. Is the university really that bad or is it mostly exaggerated?

Hi all! My husband and I will be travelling up the east coast of Tassie in early Jan and would love to know if there are any cool places to visit (in-land) between Bruny Island and Launceston? Looking forward to reading your suggestions!

Looking for recommendations for platters or grazing box companies in Low Head / George Town area

So I’m currently in my second year of university, doing a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and my GPA is 3.8 at this point in time, down from 5.1 in my first year. This makes me feel really bummed because I worked hard to maintain a high GPA in my first year, and I thought I’d be able to keep that momentum going. It’s frustrating to see that drop, especially when I know I’m capable of doing better. I’ve been struggling with balancing everything—academics, personal life, and my own expectations—and I guess it’s taking a toll. The workload has definitely increased, and I’ve had some challenges with time management, which I didn’t really anticipate.

So I’m in Australia studying and here you have to study for 6 years before becoming a psychologist one of them years being an internship.

I also think that adjusting to the demands of second-year courses has been tougher than I expected, especially with the shift in expectations. I want to get back on track, but right now, it feels like I’m not quite there yet.

Like I already know for a fact I won’t be getting into honours and I know there’s other pathways but at this point I am ready to throw in the towel cause it’s doesn’t feel worth it. I feel like really defeated and I don’t have a plan B which is unfortunate besides running a podcast educating about mental health and the importance of it. My grades dropping like they are decreasing the passion I had for it originally.

Hi guys, I live in Launceston and cannot find kataifi pastry anywhere. Does anyone knows where to get it? Even if it’s in another city that’s ok.. thanks so much!
