My Island Home and Regulars will replace Tassie Tales and Meet the Maker, starting this Sunday.
My Island Home will profile a different person each week - tree changer, sea changers, people who moved to Tasmania years ago, people who grew up here, left the state and came back, and people who chose to stay here.
We'll be finding out what drew people to the state, why they chose to live where they do, and what they've discovered since moving here.
Regulars will profile a different person each week, talking about why they frequent a certain place. We'll be catching up with people who are regulars at pubs, cafes, newsagencies, and even dog parks.
We'd love to hear from people who might have a relevant story for either feature. You can nominate a “regular” here.
