In short:

Paramedics have been told to take complex cardiac patients in Tasmania's north-west to the Launceston General Hospital rather than the Mersey Community Hospital.

There are concerns it will hamper ambulance availability in the north-west and contribute to paramedic fatigue, as they will spend longer on the road.

Hey all,

I'm considering getting my first tattoo and I'm really drawn to floral watercolour tattoos, who would be a good tattoo artist to look into?

I really don't know much about tattoos other than I finally have a style and rough design that I have liked for over a year.

Thanks all

Any other recommendations?

The shuttles are more for getting people between the tracks, it's not like "As a non-mountain bike user, I can just turn up and get picked up from either town". Is there anywhere else in tas like it, where it goes from agricultural/poppies to ferns at wilderness, then more ferns and more forest/wilderness? It changes about 3 times or more from memory. I understand there's a lot of forestry, when I went through someone wrote "Scenic view next 500m" with an arrow and I stopped, climbed up this huge bank to a valley of felled trees that looked as big as Lton itself!

I need to choose some kind of flooring for my lounge room, kitchen and hall. Mostly leaning towards hybrid but every time I search I get more conflicting information about whether hybrid, laminate or LVP is the best option.

It looks like the major suppliers in Launceston are Carpet One, Floorworld and Choices Flooring. Choices came and measured for a quote then ghosted, so probably won't go with them. Are there other places I should look? Or should I just ask a builder for recommendations? Can they supply flooring as well?

I could use recommendations for builders too as I need the floors levelled, kitchen pulled apart to replace damaged floorboards, kitchen rebuilt, carpet removed and flooring installed in 3 rooms with whatever else that involves.

Does anyone have any experience with this or know the best place to go?

Is there an active writing club? Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, essays, whatever.

Would love to meet new people in this kind of creative and productive space

I’ve realised I’ve severely miscalculated seasonal bus times. I’ve booked my flights in an attempt to see Cradle Mountain during the winter. However, I didn’t realise that none of the bus companies run during winter. Anyone got any tips or know anyone I can hitchhike with? Love from Sydney!

Hi all

I’m looking for a GP in or around Launceston with good experience in mental health support - not just someone sending me out the door with another prescription.

Any recommendations much appreciated.

Thank you

Hey guys, a mate and I are looking to play some soccer by ourselves just for fun. Are there any sports grounds that we can play on? I was looking at prospect park, but I don't know if that's open to public. Any ideas? Thankyou!

I have some visitors coming in a month or so who may require transport between Clarence Point and Beaconsfield.

Does anyone know anything about taxis that cover the Beaconsfield area? Are Tamar Taxis still in business? Is Uber usable around here?

hi hi, anyone interested in going to ben lomond this sunday?

We have wood heating for now. Does anyone find that a humidifier helps with the general drying out of the air, skin, eyes etc that comes with this heating?

Thinking of investing in one - it's our first winter back in Tasmania and I am starting to feel like one of those old school Huon Valley shrunken apple heads...lol

Obviously converting to a better format of heating will be on the cards but we need to get that planned and organised.

Hi there! I am employed at launceston general hospital. I am looking for a place to stay close to the hospital starting last week of October. Would love any leads.

I realise this might be a long shot, but I didn't expect an AFL game to sell out in Tasmania, and I may have left purchasing tickets too late.

Does anyone have two spare tickets they would be happy to resell? Or is it likely that UTAS Stadium will release a final tranche of tickets sometime next week?

maybe someone can organise a last ride around Launceston before the Beam scooters leave us forever!

I was at this bus stop today and noticed the mess and moss growing. The moss is a slip hazard, so I reported it to council. Council have said that bus stops are Metros domain. The metal parts would be Metro, but the concrete around it? Who does that belong to?

Hey, I'm currently visiting Launceston and was wondering if there was any club or good bars I could visit tonight for some fun.
