This is a great local website to buy and sell but I have been scammed by overseas hackers BEWARE!

Most people would by now have heard of Gumtree, the online free advertising website. It is nationwide, but I am writing about the Tasmanian website, as that's the one I've been using. What a fantastic service! I have bought a number of new and secondhand items, from household goods to craft (even found a knitting machine, which I've learned to use!), to valuable services such as firewood. We advertised our daughter's car for sale on Gumtree when she left (it doesn't cost anything to advertise), and by that afternoon people had come to look at it, and she was very happy with the sale. She even bought a car through Gumtree when she settled in WA. Every year we compare firewood for sale in the area and choose what suits us - and have it delivered! We've just had a load of firewood delivered, after ringing up last night, so we're all set again for any more cold weather! A great community service, with a huge range of categories, including employment. I was very excited when I found out about Gumtree, and have been a regular user.
