Thanks, yeah it's really lucky that we had this to fall back on... Especially as finding work is proving to be somewhat difficult, and finding a new home without work isn't feasible as accumulated funds will deplete SUPER fast.well that sucks balls.glad you have somewhere to stay short term while you plan your next move. good luck with it all.
Welcome to TAS! Launceston isn't so bad plenty of good trails around I'm sure you'll find some favorites. Oh and add Wyena to your list is a cool old DH track and a jumps line near Lilydale that's worth a look it's great fun to shuttle. Sprung a local MTB shop has a shop ride every Thursday good place to meet some like minded riders and enjoy the trails even some sweet private stuff on occasions. Look it up on Facebook Troy the owner posts all the details up there.So after radio silence and trying to get a hold of them for over a month with no luck, the Maydena job eventually fell through as they're not as busy mid week as they were expecting... And coming into their first winter they're unsure how things will go.
The original offer was retracted and changed to two days a week, being Sat/Sun. Not feasible to move to such a remote area for 2 days a week, with minimal to no other options in the area, and being too far to drive to Hobart and back every other day.
Pretty shit considering the whole move down to Tas was planned around the Maydena job offer.
So, ended up moving to Launceston, staying with a friend until we can get on our feet.
Had my first ride down here in Tas yesterday... A quick spin around Trevallyn.
Pretty much just XC with an excessive amount of rollers, but good for something 10 mins from home. There was a 200m long black trail which was more tech and a tad steeper, but not long enough to really tick my boxes. Looking forward to checking out Kate Reed, Hollybank and more Derby before hitting up Maydena when I get a chance!
How do you look in a dress? I've seen what passes down there..youre in with a shotThanks, yeah it's really lucky that we had this to fall back on... Especially as finding work is proving to be somewhat difficult, and finding a new home without work isn't feasible as accumulated funds will deplete SUPER fast.
At least for the time being, life down here so far is more relaxed and less congested, with the general populace being nicer than Melbourne folk... And I can drive to the supermarket without nearly getting into a car accident due to some chump not paying attention or being wildly impatient!
So far it's a win, just gotta find income!
Shame I'm not a hot girl with loose morals...

What I'd the employment scene like down there? It's a long long term plan but the wife and I have talked about a move down there more than once.. . ..Yeah I dropped in to see Troy at Sprung on our second day here as I'd already contacted him via email to enquire about potential employment.
Not the best... Still in struggle town trying to find something.What I'd the employment scene like down there? It's a long long term plan but the wife and I have talked about a move down there more than once.. . ..
