The Pakistani community in Tasmania is one of several South Asian groups that has grown quite noticeably in recent years, partly driven by the Australian Government's Regional visa program. Many Tasmanians would be unaware of this.... unless they are involved with local cricket, which is where I met Tabish, a big hittting batsman from Islamabad. Tabish spent 9 years in Sydney before moving to Hobart with his wife and two girls. a year and a half ago and now says he is in love with Tasmania, with many aspects of life here reminding him of Pakistan.
