I will be in a few weeks. But no, I live near Bangalow which is near Byron Bay, in northern NSW. I have been thinking of moving to Tasmania for some time, every summer in fact.
In a few weeks I will catch the ferry to Devonport, drive to Cradle Mountain and go walking, and then spend time in Hobart. Nicest city in Australia, don't you think?

I know Bangalow, I spent part of my childhood in Byron Bay and Ballina. Your in Hippy country right? Magic mushrooms the size of dinner plates (ah to be young again) My sister lives in Lismore. And (when i was a hippy) I lived in Mallanganee (between Casino and Tenterfield).
I dont remember much of Tasmania except the winter sucks (dreary, grey, foggy and cold). A lot like Melbourne. I spent most of my years in Sydney until I moved o/s in 1992. I think your in the one of the best parts of the country right there in the northern rivers region, I travelled a lot around Oz. and found the climate most favourable around northern nsw. The beaches around there were incredible too. Ever been to the channon?

Yah of course I've been to The Channon, lovely isn't it?
The nice thing about this area is that there are so many different types of people, and even now there is a hippie/feral leftover thing so that all the people who have problems with the world/rest of Australia come here. Noone need feel weirder than anyone else. When the Howard government was returned in Australia the Liberal member for Richmond and cabinet minister, Larry Anthony, lost his seat.
But I am a Queenslander. Which is why I want to die *off* the mainland. This comes from my mother. When she heard I was thinking of moving to Tasmania she said 'Good Heavens! It's not even on the mainland.' This gave me ideas.

I'm afraid i dont understand what being a Queenslander has to do with Dying *off* the mainland?
I really miss the laid back lifestyle of Oz, I traded it for the hustle-bustle, concrete jungle of NY. What was i thinking?.
I will be back there in Nov. Sydney, central coast, Coffs Harbour and Lismore then back to Syd. I'll only have 2 weeks to spend there unfortunately. O.k I'm rambling.
Btw what do the asterisks mean?

The astirixes are just for emphasis, just the way I'd say it. I grew up in country Qld in the 50's and lived in Qld till the end of the 80s. Country Qld is very different to here. I think the 20 year Bjelke Petersen government, its corruption, brutality and populism, has something to do with it. There are a lot Quenslanders from that time scattered around Australia. They seem to have something in common too.
