…the Island of Tasmania
When it comes to the island of Tasmania, there’s plenty to say and plenty to see. The pure natural beauty of the island state of Australia could render you speechless, it’s true. But here at Think Tasmania, we’re on a mission to share the adventure and inspiration of all things Tasmanian.
Why the Island of Tasmania?
We present a broad range of articles about the island of Tasmania to showcase the magnetism of this generous and vibrant state.
- the quaint and quirky, things unique to Tassie
- really old, really new and everything in between
- natural, industrial, agricultural and aqua-cultural
- birds, bees and nocturnal eyes in the bushland
- fresh, healthy, tasty and decadent produce
- world-famous superstars and private artisans
- places to swim, run, paddle, hike, throw, ride…
- town after nearby town with surprises and charm
Our Island of Tasmania
The benefits we receive from living locally are boundless and we get to share them here. But despite our obvious bias towards all things Tasmanian, we only give an honest account. If we don’t like it, we don’t mention it. We don’t want you getting angry with us! When we say “unforgettable experience” it should be the holiday of your dreams, not your nightmares. If you want good-value dining, it should be just that. What about buying Tasmanian-made? We talk top-quality all the way.
It’s undeniable to admit the multitude of dedicated photographers in Tasmania have the dream location. With such a ready-made supply of picturesque material, they are all blessed with material. We showcase the wonderful talents of our loyal contributors and special friends-in-photography: their photos highlight our articles about Tasmania. What’s that saying about a picture being worth a thousand words?
Whatever the saying, that’s the story of Think Tasmania. We like to promote the island of Tasmania as a great place to visit or live, and provide information about everything distinctly Tasmanian. Go on, you can read it!
Who is Behind Think Tasmania?
Born and raised in Victoria, Australia but now firmly settled in Tasmania, Tania is finally living her dream life. With husband Gavin, two teenage sons, and a fantastic environment in which to work, the launch of Think Tasmania has aligned all the stars.
Tania worked for many years in office management, but her passion has always been for the written word. Having done copious amounts of study (travel writing, creative writing, comprehensive writing, SEO, digital imaging and social media) she’s done all the research and is committed to her own small business venture. For recreation, she loves to read; enjoys music, movies, photography and exploring all that Tasmania has to offer. Tania strives to keep her family healthy and happy. And absolutely loves running her own business!
Self-employed in system design, software development and ICT for about 20 years, Gavin is the stereo-typical computer geek! It’s his advanced technical expertise behind Think Tasmania’s services, and he is responsible for keeping this website operational. Outside work hours, Gavin volunteers his time to cricket and other community-based endeavours and enjoys beach and water activities.

Thanks Kylie! Opossum Bay is a lovely little town. Great squid fishing from the jetty. You can read more about the area in our article.
Hi There,
What a terrific website. I am part of the designed;made market on Sunday and was curious how your website works. I belong to a group called Stitching & Beyond, we have a biennial exhibition called “Out of Hand” which is on this weekend at the Rosny Barn. I’d be happy to give you further information if you’re interested. Cheers, Mahdi
Hi Mahdi
Thanks for your kind words! Your exhibition sounds very interesting. Please contact us… we have plenty of ideas about promoting Tasmanian businesses, products and events.
All the best,
Tania

I love the introductory photo of Bay of Fires. We at Palana, on Flinders Island, have the same lovely red lichen rocks and the bay with its beautiful, white and wide sandy beaches. Beauty of Tasmania, and especially Palana, is truly wonderful, no matter what the weather. No wonder we settled here for our retirement!
We couldn’t agree more, Carita. All of Tasmania is wonderful in some special way. Enjoy your retirement.
Hi
My little family of three (my partner Ben, our 16month old daughter & myself) are thinking about moving to Tasmania.
We are living in the Byron Shire on the far north coast NSW.
The cost of living & the summer heat among many other things up here have had us looking to relocate to somewhere beautiful & family friendly we can settle for many years.
We would love our daughter to attend a Steiner school & the only Steiner in TAS is near Hobart.
Ben is a software engineer & I am studying online distance ed, so fast internet is important.
We love outdoor family activities & would like our daughter to get involved in music, sports, or anything that she may be interested in or passionate about as she grows.
We would love to hear from other families living in the area on what it’s like to raise a family in TAS & what’s it’s like for children growing up in the area.
Thank You
Sarah 🙂
We can certainly help you with information about all that Sarah. We’ll be in touch – plus we’ll open the conversation with all our readers so they can contribute their thoughts too. Best of luck with your plans… Tania
Thanks for your help
I look forward to hearing from any body with any knowledge & experiences.
🙂
You’re welcome Sarah. Others can follow the discussion at the specific article… Family Move to Tasmania.
