My Exploration

Travelling to Tasmania

Posted in Family, Life by Chara Meredith on 7 March, 2009

It’s a long weekend this weekend and I decided I’d better get out of the state and see some of the family, so I’m off to Tasmania. Seeing some of the sights of Hobart and beyond. I lived in Tassie for about 14 years before moving on and out. It was a good choice, I needed the change and the last couple of years have been a chance for significant growth in my life. But Tassie is a beautiful place, and I miss how relaxing it was there, and I miss being so close to family. :) Conversely I also appreciate not being too close to my family anymore! LOL (No offense meant to the family.) It just means I have to pop over fairly frequently.

Frequently means a couple of times a year, so just to tally up this will be my second visit to see the fam this year, but I probably won’t see them again until Christmas unless anyone wants to visit me here!

I love Hobart as a city, it has a lot to offer, the wharf, CBD, Salamanca, Mt Wellington are all so close together. It’s all so close together, convenient and quick! Quick as in no traffic. :) The only downside is there is a significant lack of cool cafes, coffee houses and restuarants like in Melbs. That is one of the things that I miss most when I pop to Tassie. Though there is often a new place that the fam wanna take me to, which is nice. For a non-Melb living fam, we do like to go out for coffee a lot.

Anyway, that was a total ramble post! I will hopefully put up some photos sometime soon from my visit.
