Question 1

Is Gunns Plains a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Gunns Plains is a quiet rural valley in north-west Tasmania centred on limestone karst country and the Leven River, with the well known Gunns Plains Caves punctuating a landscape of grazing paddocks, rainforest gullies and rocky outcrops. The settlement is mainly scattered farmsteads, hobby farms and a handful of older weatherboard cottages, so living here suits people after a country pace and an outdoor focus. Days often revolve around agriculture, cave visits, bushwalking and river recreation, and regional roads link the valley to nearby coastal towns and service centres.

It is a very small community of 195 people with a median age of 39, and most homes are owner-occupied with owner-occupiers making up 75.3% of dwellings. There have been recent local transport works and bridge repairs, funding listed for a river bridge replacement, a roof replacement for the community centre, and a new community wildlife hospital at Wing’s Wildlife Park, so basic transport and community facilities have seen attention in the valley. Whether that suits you comes down to how much you value a rural, outdoor-oriented life.
