Lived off grid for 10 years in North NSW, Australia. Decided to move after our massvie "Black Summer Bushfires" that were in the middle.of, now in Northern Tasmania baxk on the grid for water and power but live on 2 acres in the edge of a snall rural village. M and F couple.

Moved originally becase of climate change and moved again becase of climate change :)

Are you taking any different measures to try and minimize the impact of bushfires in the future? Is Northern Tasmania also prone to them?

Northern Tas definitely has lower bushfire risk than NSW but it's increasing with climate change - the northwest is wetter but eastern parts still get dangerous fire seasons, especially when El Niño hits.
