If you are looking for a sea change, clean air and amazing wilderness, look no further than working on the West Coast of Lutruwita/Tasmania. It is remote, raw, untamed and like nowhere else.
On your days off, find your kind of adventure. Climb a mountain, chase a waterfall, cruise the waterways, ride the trails, go fly fishing. Explore the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Or slow right down. You choose.
Moving to the West Coast can change your life.
