Relocating to Hobart
Moving to Hobart from Canada to the capital of Tasmania, is a uniquely exciting adventure, offering a fresh start in one of Australia’s most scenic and vibrant cities. Planning ahead makes a big difference. Bekins Worldwide, using its decades of international move experience and expertise, is here to help you, with both the best time of year to move and what to expect on the day you move into your new residence.
Hobart experiences a temperate oceanic climate, meaning its winters can be chilly, while summers are mild and pleasant. The best time to move to Hobart largely depends on your preferences for weather and ease of settling in. Summer (December to February) is arguably the most comfortable time for new arrivals. The weather is warm, ranging from 17°C to 23°C (63°F to 73°F), and the city is buzzing with festivals, outdoor activities, and a vibrant cultural scene. It’s also easier to adjust to the milder climate compared to the cold of a Canadian winter. However, autumn (March to May) can also be a great time to arrive if you prefer cooler weather and fewer crowds. The landscape around Hobart turns into a stunning tapestry of reds, oranges, and yellows, which is a beautiful backdrop for getting to know the city.
Moving internationally is no small feat, and there are a few things to keep in mind as you plan your move in, in Hobart. Be prepared for Australian customs checks. Items like food, plant products, and certain types of clothing might be restricted or require quarantine. Make sure your belongings are thoroughly cleaned before packing, especially outdoor gear like shoes and camping equipment. As soon as your possessions are cleared by customs and their storage facilities advise when releasing them, a delivery date can be arranged that is in harmony with any other arrangements you’ve made for gas, electricity, water and broadband installations.
One of the quirky aspects of moving to Hobart is learning the local vernacular. Locals, or Tasmanians, often refer to themselves as “Tassie” (pronounced “Taz-ee”). So, when you’re mingling with the Hobart crowd, don’t be surprised if someone introduces themselves as a proud “Tassie” native. Whether you’re exploring the iconic Salamanca Market, hiking Mount Wellington, or just soaking in the laid-back atmosphere, Hobart will soon become your new favorite place!
