I guess considering that people are out there are digging unsustainable illegal trails for nothing, $45K is alright for going it legitimately.

Tas is a lot cheaper than Melb or Sydney. I earn less than I did when I lived in Melb and Syd and have a better quality of life, and can afford to have a 4 bedroom house near the city and get by comfortably.
In regards to Gov/Council jobs it's at the lowest end of the pay rate.
Lots of council jobs going for approx $50-85K in Hobart.

Nerf, you will need more than a 4 bedroom house if we are all going to crash at your place when we come riding down in Tassie.

North South track is a combined use project, but primarily aimed at a durable mountain bike link between the Springs and the Tolosa bike park.
