I’m a European who’s been living in Tassie for a bit over two years now, and I’ve been to the mainland a few times for work and holidays. I really love this great country/continent!

However, ever since I got here, I was a bit surprised at the lack of infrastructure around here. My other international friends here had similar thoughts, and some even had some big ideas if they were to become Prime Minister. ;)

My Aussie mate told me to check out the show “Utopia” on Netflix to learn what it’s like to develop things here. I’ve watched the first couple of episodes now and I thought it’s quite a funny show, but I was just wondering how accurate this comedy show is? Is it really that much of a hassle to build things in Australia? I laughed really hard at the patch of grass getting in the way of their development :P

To be fair, developing things back home is a huge hassle as well but mainly because space is so limited. And things do move ahead reasonably quick even if not all checks have been completed. It’s good that Australia is considering the environment and indigenous people carefully though, we don’t give a damn about nature back home because it’s messed up already anyway.

I miss my trains :(

Population is tiny, yet roads are packed every morning, since nobody bothers with public transport. My boss still calls me crazy for taking the bus to work every day!

Old and cold houses :(

The threat of homelessness is actually real here haha

F Qantas and Jetstar.

Please build more cities, businesses and railways, Australia :D
