...a windsurfer, fisherman, musician...

We (me and my wife) visited Tassie a few years ago and loved it. We checked the South half, and liked Cygnet, Huon, Margate areas a lot.
We'll visit the North half next year, then seriously consider moving to Tasmania in 3-4 years.

My conditions:
I must be able to get to the water relatively quickly so I can sail, fish, dive...
It should be green.

My wife conditions:
Everything else. Don't care, as long as I get the above.

Looking for your personal, and by all means, emotional advice on what's the best spot in Tasmania to get a hobby farm, not too far from the sailing/fishing grounds, and where I can find a few musicins to play with.

I'm trying not to start a North v's South thing - but you'll make up your mind pretty quick once you check out the rest of the island Obelix

It's a magic place to live, and in reality, you can't really go wrong. I'd love to live at Port Sorell or Boat Harbour, but Launceston is it for me until the kids leave home - it's also ~2hrs to pretty much everywhere in the State. If you don't mind driving for an hour, you can access so many places to sail in nearly all winds.
Hopefully I'll have all the other spots on www.thespotguide.com.au by the time you get here, so make sure you check them out too with all the local knowledge you'll want to know ... at least thats the idea ;-).

Hello
Southern end for fishing salt water. are you into lakes or salt?.
southern do get plenty of wind as well. usually we get good westerlies from august to November. then the sea breezes start to come in regularly till march, Followed by frontal wind again. North in the later years has had more westerlies but lacks out on seabreezes
This all depends on what sort of sailing and fishing you want.
For instance, we have a guy down here in lauderdale who lives off fish and fishes 5 nights a week and sailboards at least twice a week in summer!
Waves, freestyle, slalom, trout or salt all come in to consideration if you can choose?
Farms/musicians i am sure plenty around.

Everybody seems to forget the north-east. Warmest and driest part of the island. Not the best wind conditions where I live at Scamander but I still get good conditions fairly often through summer. If you get desperate it is 2 1/2 hrs to Low Head and yes I sometimes make the trip.

Northwest, north east, central north, east, south, west, it's all good!
Fishing good pretty much everywhere (being an island helps).
Farming best on NW (volcanic soil so good you can eat it) but everywhere OK for hobby farming.
Music scene - wouldn't have a clue.
Wetsuits; winter = 4/5mm, summer = can be anything, boardies and rashie on a good day.
