Not sure why you have to call attention to “right wing” “left wing” as if upscale readership is to be scrutinized over your ‘working class’ bleeding heart subjective comment. You sound like a true filthy liberal. I may be wrong though 🙂

In reply to Greg Hall. Greg, Thanks for that and I'm sure I'll make it to Tasmania in the next few years. Everyone does rave about it and the tourism board seems to be doing a very good job of getting the word out, but still it's a slightly surprising choice because it's so remote for most people. I'm looking forward to seeing it myself in the coming years. -Tom

Not been to Tasmania? Why not come and see for yourself, starting with the capital city Hobart? Then, it’s up to you but you will need at least a fortnight. I’m a long time resident, have travelled widely in my 60 plus years but have found the quiet calm and beautiful environs of Hobart and surrounds and the state of Tasmania always draw me back, home. After a twenty minute drive in any direction from the city and you will find yourself in the bush, calm countryside, atop a snow capped Mount Wellington in winter, or with a crystal clear view out across the city below all year around. In case you are wondering, no I don’t work for the Tasmanian Tourism Department, I just a happy inhabitant. See you when you finally come down?

Cheers for now, Greg.
