There’s been a lot of fluff about Hobart’s booming real estate. Residential real estate might be hot, but clearly, not everything is booming. I took a drive through Hobart last week and was surprised by how many “For Lease” signs adorned empty commercial premises and shops. These began just two […]
Mr Tasmania
OK, maybe not. But it does provoke a reaction. If only watering eyes. Not sure if vegetable torture porn is even legal in Tasmania, so don’t tell anyone.
An exhibit for MONA?
Hobart Lord Mayor Ron Christie says Tasmania is going silly, with too many people visiting and moving in, thanks mainly to MONA (art gallery) and the visit of Chinese communist leader Xi Jinping. Mr Christie told News Ltd “tourism will kill our city” and that Dark Mofo, a wildly successful […]
Bring back Slowbart, says Hobart Mayor
Some hi-tech companies are calling Tassie home … https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/features/v3/bar-535/tasmanias-high-tech-start-up-stories/ This is a trend that could bring true wealth to Tasmania. Cutting down trees is a fine occupation but generally doesn’t pay well.
It’s not all sheep and apples
Tasmanian real estate performed well over the past year … https://finance.nine.com.au/2018/04/17/16/03/why-tasmanias-capital-is-the-countrys-fastest-growing-property-market North Hobart was particularly strong … https://www.news.com.au/national/tasmania/from-austins-ferry-to-west-moonah-hobarts-northern-suburbs-are-flying/news-story/d5228bee2b8f6cfadbf8b61888940082 But with other Australian states now experiencing falling real estate prices, and with commentators saying this is just the beginning of a national decline, will Hobart and Tasmanian prices be dragged down […]
What goes up must come down
Hobart going up while others fall, crazy stuff … https://www.news.com.au/national/tasmania/hobart-barely-retains-cheapest-city-crown-as-home-value-growth-continues-to-climb/news-story/1f1d92b9cfde90e2b6a4f95bf141db5f But it was always on the cards, with Melbourne and Sydney prices hitting silly levels.

Hobart real estate prices continue rise
Yep, Hobart beat Sydney from 2002 to 2017 … see here. Hard to believe but the story says so. Hobart started from a smaller base, but Sydney is well down the list despite its spectacular prices. Hobart has of course registered strong price increases over the past year, and its […]
Which city’s real estate increased most from 2002 to 2017?
Tasmania has a terrible crime problem in the rural area. Some of the criminals are lone operators, and some travel in gangs. They know what they want. Whole fruit trees are stripped just as the peaches, plums or apples ripen. The thieves often strike the night before fruit is due […]
Tasmania’s crime problem
The Geeveston Wheels in the Park car show is well worth a visit each Jan/Feb. We didn’t make it this year, as we decided to go camping. We also missed the big rowing regatta at Franklin. We did however get a car show of our own the day before the […]
Whoaa! Geeveston Car Show
Howabout this heat? The picture is our friend’s thermometer today, located in the shaded cool end of their verandah in the supposedly cold and damp Huon Valley. Hot it may be, but the nearish Grove and New Norfolk BOM weather stations clocked records of 40C+ back in 2013, so it’s […]
