“Launceston has the dimensions of a town but the spirit of a city.” “I’ve come from Sicily, my research topic is Bali, and my home is Tasmania; I wish I could find a way of keeping all my islands together! Launceston is so small you can do great things.
For example, I’m studying and breeding a sense of Indonesian culture. If you have the energy, you can start new things here, and that’s exciting. Small places give you the opportunity to focus on yourself and the things you feel passionate about. You can interact with others on a more human level, and I find visitors notice this energy and humanity. Plus, Launceston Tamar Valley has fantastic views and contact with the water. The Gorge is extraordinary, you’re in town, but there’s such beauty around the corner. Nature, humanity and city life is so well balanced; and Launceston itself has the dimensions of a town but the spirit of a city.”
