    Maybe close by mainland standards which clearly you should still be operating under. Pretty sure 8 months will not qualify you as a local

    No mate, not interested in being any more south than Hobart/South Hobart going that way.

    ... and my out-laws.

    Much better not having to deal with the southern outlet on the way to work too.

    Although Pete would have a much better chance of speccy views from down south.

    It's all relative Peppa Pig. Hobartians get upset if you can't leave your house and be at the office in town in 20 minutes at peak hour. Having said the southern outlet is bad the Tasman Bridge is pretty much the same. But Collis used to work in Rosny/Bellerive so maybe the eastern shore would be fine for him.

    The time it takes me to go Blackmans Bay to the city is the same it took me to go Jindalee to Indooroopilly in Brisbane (15 mins) except in Brisbane peak hour it takes double that!

    Prob right pete, until there is an accident in peak hour traffic. it banks up to the bridge. Silly set up the southern outlet 2 lanes into town and the traffic lights which change to quick.

    I must say we are lucky here compaired to the mainland.
    Still at bellerive Matt, from west moonah to work usually 12 mins as I'm going against traffic lol.

    I bus it into town for work. It takes 20 mins from Glenorchy/Merton to the Hospital which is pretty good I think.

    It's the hilly part of Glenorchy kind of wedged between Lenah Valley and West Moonah. I think it's a new house area as no-one from Tassie has heard it before, although I'm in the old part just off Barossa St.

    I ended up applying at Llanherne - just waiting for a board meeting to approve. I'm hoping to play a fair bit at Tasmania and Royal (I've got colleagues that are members at both) over the next year so I can figure out which one I'd prefer to go to. I might end up staying at Llanherne, I have really enjoyed my rounds there so far.

    The missus isn't moving down for another couple of months so I'm hoping to get as many Sunday rounds in as possible. I played at Claremont 2 weekends ago and was pretty underwhelmed.

    Ok, I just thought it was Glenorchy.

    I have a ambrose at Claremont this Sunday. Hate the course.

    Will have to organise a hit when you have some free time.

    I'm putting my application at royal October.

    Yeah I can't see myself heading back there any time soon. It was better than Rosny though...

    Rosny is the old royal Hobart funny enough. A long long time ago

    Yeah I heard that somewhere. Did the old course include the land across the road? That looks like it could have been a golf course.

    It did, both sides where the college is and also where they are building the nursing home.

    I'm assuming it had bunkers when it was a Royal.

    Yes, you can still see some of them.. now grass bunkers. The 18th and the 5th are still original holes from the old course.

    I noticed the grass bunkers on 9, but didn't notice any other ones.
