Moving to Tasmania

Planning a move to Tasmania? This comprehensive guidebook is written by Gemma and Paul Chilton, who moved to Tasmania in October 2020. We have sourced information from our own experience, from other "mainland blow-ins" like us, from real Tasmanians and from official sources. The book is broken down into 61 individual tips, facts or lessons – because who doesn’t like a good list – and these are further grouped into broader chapters. Hopefully one or more of them will save you time, money or stress and smooth the process for your relocation to this beautiful little island of wilderness and of extremes.
The book can be read cover to cover, or flip to the sections relevant to you.
The Moving to Tasmania guidebook covers:
- Lifestyle and community
- Weather and climate
- Schools and education
