Having grown up in Canada I don't think the Tassie winters would bother me.

With a sort of a half-assed chancy decision we moved to West Gippsland many years ago. An 90 minutes from surf fishing, snow ski-ing, trout streams, the heart of Melbourne and 15 minutes from many decent 4wd tracks.
A word to the wise - don't look for "acreage" in the older years. Too much to upkeep and maintain. Just sucks time and energy even though it's lovely this time of year in the garden (one acre of it). Cut's into fun time out and about.
West Gippsland - gourmet deli trail....come and visit!

Tassie winters are nothing even close to Canada's Glend - winters on Mars would be closer to Canada than Tassie's are, you'll love it here - our winters are like Canada's summers :-) , and i'm afraid with the attitude GMEMUD mates seem to have i doubt they would enjoy anywhere. Probably better off with them in Qld with all the corpulant sweaty layabout retirees lolling about like Jabba the hut and clogging up their arteries.Not for them the healthy robust outdoor life a cooler climate offers.
You can always get warm if it's cool but keeping cool in stinking hot humidity is impossible unless you stay indoors. You can get out any day of the year in Tas. and have a ball, you just adjust your clothing.
Any one who purports to like the great outdoors and doesn't enjoy Tas is either dead or dead boring. It might be cooler that the north island but its nothing a jacket or jumper won't fix.
That's not to say i don't like the north island or warm weather, just that Tassie is a match for any of that.
And i mean all that in the nicest possible way.
