What if everyday felt like a holiday... Like living in a national park?

There is plenty of greenspace and almost no cars in sight.

I enjoy my walk to my local transit hub while truly feeling immersed and part of the identity that makes my town of Kingston so unique.

I go to my favourite coffee shop while I wait for my express bus, secure in the knowledge that there is one leaving every 15 minutes.

Once I arrive in Hobart, I listen to music while I walk to my place of work. It’s relaxing because the transit station and my workplace are in a pedestrian zone free of cars and full of greenspace. I don’t have to consider waiting times at crossings on my journey.

After work I walk to the bar with my colleagues and enjoy a few drinks without worrying about a car park closure or being under a driving limit.

The later buses don’t run as often but they are still reliable and feel safe so I don’t mind staying out later.

After arriving back at the Kingston transit hub, I pop into the shops to grab some groceries for dinner on the way home.
