I don't actively chase gigs, but there is quite a large amount of places to go regardless of your taste in music. Considering there is only a population of around 500k in the whole of Tasmania, we are very spoilt for choice.
Just here on the north west coast there could be 3-4 country music events to choose from every weekend. Add in other styles of music, pubs, clubs etc. and you would almost think there is an over-saturation of places to go. Launceston attracts quite a few mainland acts and its less than 2hrs away by car. Hobart is another matter, that's over 4hrs each way from where we are here in Penguin.
I play at a lot of charity events, but I occasionally get some paid gigs. I've only busked once, fairly recently, but I wouldn't mind doing it again soon.
