Ranti from Indonesia : Experiencing personal growth on the NW coast of Tasmania

Indonesia is Australia's biggest neighbour, though it's not one of our bigger sources of migrants. For such a populous and significant neighbour, Indonesian culture and perspectives are perhaps less familiar to Australians/Tasmanians than they should be.   I went to the third city in Tasmania, Devonport to talk with Ranti about her experience of settling there after spending most of her life in the giant and busy metropolis of Jakarta. Despite the lack of shopping malls in small city that was so much quieter than she was used to, settling in Devonport has given Ranti the chance to develop skills she never knew she had and to take up pastimes which she would never had time for back in Jakarta.
