I've been wanting to get my hair dyed a pretty bright unnatural colour, but everywhere in Launceston seems to only do the classic blonde beach waves. Does anyone know a really good alternative hairdresser in Launceston? I'm happy with small, at home businesses too. I've been trying to get my hair this colour for years and I'm desperate! Thanks ;)

Need recommendations for long curls. Going for a curly flow. Anyone who doesn’t disappoint me and doesn’t cost a lot.

G'day Launceston,

I'm a 21-year-old from the Netherlands, and I'm based here until early December. Back home I run a small marketing agency that does paid ads (Meta, LinkedIn) and lead generation for B2B software companies, and I keep doing that remotely while I'm here.

Working from my laptop on my own is getting a bit quiet, so I'd love to spend a few days a week at the office of a local agency or growth-minded business. I'll bring my own work. What I'm after is people to talk with, seeing how Australian businesses go about winning customers, and happily sharing what I know about ad accounts, tracking or tools if that's useful to you.

If you run an agency or a marketing team in or around Launceston, or know someone who does, I'd love to hear from you. A coffee to start is perfect.

Cheers!

New in town and we've been trying to do the rounds to find our local flavour.

Our first day here we dropped in to Sweetbrew. Loved the atmosphere there but the blend was very acidic and we're more into a dark roast.

Next I had the opportunity to try Zimmah's Son of a Gun blend through Roam. Not sure I want to write-off this blend immediately, as the coffee was pretty weak and luke-warm and I think I just caught a bad brew.

Lastly, I tried Ritual's Seasonal blend at Earthy Eats. Once more, nothing that really blew my socks off but probably my favourite of the 3 I've managed to taste.

As mentioned, personal preference in coffee leans towards the darker varieties with notes of chocolate, nuts, caramels, maples, etc. What's everyone's go to?

I'm moving back to Launceston after living interstate and looking for a regular GP. I am female, in my 30s and have some ongoing health conditions. I want a GP that builds a relationship with patients and I can see regularly to monitor my conditions. I don't want someone to just see when I am sick or who just says "what are you here for today?" rather than bigger picture. Any suggestions? Thanks ☺️

Hi all,

I’m staying in Launceston for 4/5 weeks and would love to play a bit of 5 a side/drop in soccer/futsal, and kick abouts going? Given I won’t be here long term joining a full on soccer club isn’t really a good option

Cheers

Hi folks! Im trying to learn Auslan and wondering if anyone knows of any lessons that are done in Launceston or the North generally. Or even just groups to practice with. TIA 💕

In a few weeks, I'll be landing through Launceston airport at 8:40am and will have a few hours to kill, before my bus leaves at 1:15 from near the middle of town.

For someone with a minimal budget, does anyone have suggestions of how I should make the most of my time there and what should I see?

Cheers!

Hi everyone,

Wondering where can I learn car detailing and tinting in Launceston.

Is there any private instructor who can help?

Heading to Launceston for a two week holiday later this month. We love trying local produce/regional food specialties.

What's in season at the moment around Launceston/Tassie? For example, up here in Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast strawberries are in full swing. We also have a lot of tropical fruits and veg.

For Tassie, I'm noticing things like wallaby, octopus, oysters, scallops; is that right?

Any recommendations on where to get fresh scallops? Would love to hear your recs for butchers, seafood, farmers markets, or even nice bakeries/breweries/restaurants around Launceston CBD 😊

Pretty, pretty, pretty good for Launnie! 🥳 🍷🧀

Or a proper hot pot restaurant?

I know we have lots of delicious food already but half the reason I goto the mainland these days is for food

Anyone out here keen to have a hit with a semi beginner tonight?
I’m 37/F from Adelaide and just visiting so I dont have a racket. I have been getting coaching twice a week and can rally a bit. If you have a spare and interested, message me 🎾 thanks!

Looking for a nice fancy restaurant to celebrate an anniversary at. Can be on the pricier side but me and my partner are not millionaires, If you have any recommendations of things to do outside of dinner that would be greatly appreciated as well, also looking for a nice hotel as well.

Hey all, just reminiscing on the past and how I’d spend nearly every single day of summer at the gorge when I was 16, does anyone have cool stories from their time spent there? I remember one summer I climbed to the top of gods (one of the highest rocks) then couldn’t find my way back down😂 does anyone have any interesting or crazy stories from their time there?

We’ve got 2 nights is Launceston and would love some restaurant recommendations.
We love a steak, Italian, Asian etc.

Somewhere we will get really good food!

Thanks.

My number plates have been stolen overnight.

They were registered in another state as I just moved here.

So now I can't drive my car. And I can't drive it to a Service Tas so that I can get my vehicle inspected which is a requirement to get an interstate vehicle registered in Tasmania, a bit of a pickle. I will see if they can make an exception...

(I also need to use my car this weekend but won't be able to 🥲)

If the person who stole them happens to see this, please return them 🥲

Hey guys, I'm going on holiday for a week and planned to leave the car in the airport but the prices were quite expensive and I previously read that you can park on the street around the industrial sites turning right at the roundabout, does anyone know if it would be safe to leave my car there for a week?

There was a post about this a few years ago. Thought I would ask for updates and for recommendations for weekends, especially Sunday.

Kings Meadows spots welcome too.

Looking to join a gym with family membership option, don’t need child care, bonus but not essential if offers discount for government employees and has separate sections for men/women. Recommendations welcome, TIA.
