It was an island off an island
and I’d never lived in a place
like that before.
Tasmania was in most ways the exact
opposite to London
and I really felt I wanted something
completely different
It was on the other side of the world
It had mountains, beaches, the ocean
when London had the Thames and Hyde Park
It was hot and sunny in Hobart
When it was grey and raining in London
and UTAS had a small intimate campus
while City University had Nisa’s local on St John Street
and Kennedy’s fish and chips on Goswell Road just a minute´s walk away
