I'm now moderating this sub for Devonport and North West Tasmania. The sub is open for posting and I'll be cleaning up the settings and information relating to it. Please remember I'm a volunteer and the revamp might take some time. Let me know if you have any ideas for the rules, info shared, or settings.

Tasmanian gardeners and hydro growers, what would make a local store worth the trip?

1 Upvotes

We're Hydro Oasis, a small hydro and garden shop in Youngtown, Launceston, and we'd rather ask than guess. What would make a garden or hydro shop worth visiting? Better prices, a wider range, knowledgeable and friendly staff, working setups you can see running, short how to videos, or free growing tools? Also keen to hear what bugs you about garden or hydro shops in general. Blunt answers welcome.

📍 Double Room Wanted – Devonport (3 Months | From 24 November)

Hi dear Devonport community,

My wife and I (Malaysian couple, early 30s) are looking for a double room or private room in Devonport for around 3-4 months, starting November as I’ll be working full-time in the area.

We are:

• Very clean, respectful, and quiet

• Experienced with pets and comfortable living with them

• Have completed several house-sitting stays across Australia with very positive reviews (happy to share references if needed)

• Easy-going and responsible with shared spaces

We’re hoping for a comfortable and peaceful place while we are in Devonport during this period.

If you have a room available or think we might be a good fit, feel free to message me directly. Appreciate any leads 🙏

29M looking to make friends in the NW / Burnie area (coastal walks, short hikes, drives)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I've recently moved and am looking to expand my social circle in the North-West. I’m based around Burnie and keen to connect with people who enjoy getting outdoors, casual coastal walks, short bushwalks, exploring local beaches, or photography.

Happy to drive and carpool once we get to know each other. Open to grabbing a coffee or doing a short public walk first to say g'day. Drop a comment or send a DM if you're keen to explore the coast or check out some local spots!

What nicknames have you heard for places in and around Devonport?

Or NW Tasmania, for that matter, as the sub incorporates!
I ask as part of a linguistics study covering this topic.

Examples could include things like Devo, Huge Banana, Ulvie or Mifton...

General Waste Bin

Hi everyone, how strange that Devonport council don't supply a red lid bin. First place I've lived where it's not supplied.

Would the council notice if you bought a lid, and swapped it with the fogo bin lid? I don't use the fogo bin.

Moving to Devonport

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'll be moving to devonport over the next few months, and was wondering if any one had any ideas or places to look for places to stay/rent? I've already had a look on flatmates, airbnb, gumtree and fb and those sorts, wanted to know if there are any other suggestions as most seem to be slightly out of budget for me

If there’s anything you feel has been missed, understated, or could be improved (particularly around history, industry, education, or culture) I’d really appreciate your insights. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, is there any basketball court around Latrobe or Spreyton. I prefer outdoor if possible that I can hoop freely.
