Erik Thomson: Finding Peace and New Life in Tasmania as His Latest Film Arrives
The actor, known for his roles in popular series like The Secret Life of Us and Packed to the Rafters, recently enjoyed a bracing morning surf on Tasmania's East Coast. Despite the chilly winter conditions – a low of just 1°C and a maximum of 15°C – Thomson, 58, exuded enthusiasm for the invigorating experience. “There’s something incredibly grounding about being in the ocean, regardless of the temperature,” he says with a smile.
Thomson’s decision to relocate to Tasmania wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment choice; it was a conscious effort to prioritise his well-being. “I’d been feeling a bit burnt out, you know? The constant travel, the long hours… it takes a toll,” he explains. “I needed a change of pace, a place where I could reconnect with nature and myself.”
Tasmania, with its pristine landscapes, vibrant arts scene, and strong sense of community, proved to be the perfect antidote. “It’s a slower pace of life here,” Thomson observes. “People are genuinely friendly, and there’s a real appreciation for the simple things.” He’s found solace in exploring the island’s hiking trails, indulging in its local produce, and simply enjoying the peace and quiet.
