“At the moment, waking up in Hobart is a dream,” says Dr Virginia Andrews-Goff.
“The days are settled and warm and the light is golden … [and] every evening when I drive home, there’s this moment that I round a sweeping bend and head down towards a beautiful bay.”
Andrews-Goff, a marine mammal research scientist and keen surfer, has a surf beach home just 30 minutes out of the Tasmanian capital. “If I turn my head to look out my window, I can see the sun sitting behind the mountain,” she says. “At that moment, my nervous system settles and I hit relax mode.”
