Answer 1

There are 3 main population areas Hobart, Launceston & Burnie/Devonport . Hobart is by far the largest and has the best job prospects added to by being the state capital.

Hobart costs are relaitivley cheaper than other capitals for accommodation and fresh foods etc, groceries, imported goods and petrol are more expensive.

Best web sites to check jobs are http://mycareer.com.au/ and http://www.seek.com.au/ for state govt jobs http://www.jobs.tas.gov.au/

State schools are generally good and there are also plenty of private ones, state schools are esentaiily free (but the are some costs), private ones can be expensive

lots of general infromation through http://www.tas.gov.au/

Answer 2

Be a bit careful about racism amongst schoolkids here. My stepdaughter is chinese and has had lots of problems with racist taunts and insults. Try and find a school that already has some foreign students (exchange students perhaps) so your kids won't be the first foreigners the kids there have ever seen.
