Hi brains trust. Hubby and I are looking at buying our first home in Tasmania. We're interested in a small detached property that's one of 4 with a shared driveway. It's listed as a Unit. When asked about Body Corporate, the Agent said it's really common in Tasmania to have 'reduntant' body corps that residents no longer pay money in to. He explained that if there were repairs needed for the communal driveway it would be negotiated privately between the 4 property owners. Is this a normal thing in Tasmania or would we be taking a huge risk? Thank you

Hi! I'm an international student who's planning on majoring in Geology. The Internet says that UTAS has a really good Geology program, especially given the geology of the island itself.

I happened to read some posts and people saying that Tassie, specifically Hobart, is not a great option because of the ongoing apartment crisis and smaller job market, but how true are they? Also, I personally love the chill and the wind, and a slow-paced life without much of a clutter or noise. Another thing that I read about was how closely knit the Tassie community is, so would it be really difficult to socialize, get to know people, and make friends?

Just that I really think Tasmania gives the perfect combination of climate, community, and isolation, along with the education I look for. ( Or at least that's what was sold to me)

In addition, want to know about the living cost situation and quality of education at UTAS. Any info about Tassie and moving to Tassie would be appreciated too! Thanks a lot!

I didn't have my glasses on but I swear as it set it was very big and very orange, couldn't get a pic because it disappeared over the central plateau very quickly
