Cooler climate
I am considering moving from Queensland to Tasmania as I am struggling with the heat, in particular with the compression bra I have to wear for my breast lymphodema. Any thoughts/ comments would ...
I can understand your difficulty - I travel to Queensland a lot for family reasons and putting on a compression sleeve in the humidity (just outside Brisbane!) nearly drives me nuts. Tasmania is beautiful, and I have always found the people friendly but to add to your research list is employment. I don't know what your/your family's needs are but sadly Tasmania suffers from high unemployment. Even people with excellent qualifications and experience find it difficult to find and keep a secure job. The latest figures show that the northwest is better, but if employment is a significant factor, you would be well advised to get some detailed and professional advice about expectations.
A lot depends on where you currently live (remote or city or far north) and where you might choose to go in Tasmania. Winter is not just colder in Tasmania than Queensland, It affects things like driving, when roads may get icy particularly in the south. And then there's your wardrobe!
Good luck whatever you decide.
