Greetings from Nara in Tasmania
Moving to launceston next year, so keen.
Used to live at Pershing street in 1994....study at Unitas... beautiful memories....tq for the video
If I did not look carefully I would have thought this was a town somewhere in South Sussex, England in high summer. It looks a nice place.
Ha ha. I have never been to South Sussex yet but the English did settle here more than 200 years ago so they must have designed so many things almost exactly the same....... :)
Thanks Ali - oh ! , and many happy greetings from Launceston. Ha ha
Been to both and you are right. Lots of similarities.
Be nice to have some music to go along with this. I was thinking "We Gotta Get Outta This Place" would be appropriate.
My home town
I enjoyed your video. The quality is excellent. I love driving through Launceston whenever we travel in Tassie on holidays. I love taking videos when in Tassie. Well done
I used to live in Launceston in the mid 70s. It was great to see this video, also in stunning quality. would love to see more video of around Launceston!!

Thank you very much Garry.
I will put together another clip soon OK. If only I could upload the "dash cam" live streaming - that would be good fun. Ha ha ........ (｡◕‿◕｡)
Many happy greetings to everyone there in Scotland from Tasmania :)
Nara
First thing that I noticed, no tall buildings. I want to move there to live.
Beautiful town, it reminds me "bakery's inn" where I stayed one night long time ago.

Thanks MrHelidude I was born and breed in Launceston and subsequently moved OS following the work. Now live in Singapore but hope one day to return with my wife(Singaporean) to Launceston, if she can come at the cold winters..lol
Ha ha. Yes it is so cold here at the moment. LOL. And so so so so much rain this winter.
Now looking forward to spring and hopefully a long hot summer ..... (ツ)
Hopefully these two more recent clips below will bring back some nice memories ...... ✔✔✔

Brings back many memories, many new shops since I left!
I hope this has triggered some nice and fond memories Kirsten.
You probably recognize all the streets pretty well.
Many happy greetings.
Nara ........ ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿
This is strikingly familiar to my home town of Dunedin, I almost feel like it's my second home and I havent even been there. Must visit!
I think Launceston is very very similar to Christchurch too so we must be kind of like brothers and sisters ..............
.... (｡◕‿◕｡)
Wow! Amazing town. Wish I had lived here.
The windy rd at 2.00 is the zig zag reserve had a house.(rental) at the bottom i think it was oneway down only (bourke st)?anyway a cop tried to book me riding bike up to flat.
Such a good video. Truly looks pretty. I’m thinking of moving to Tassie.
This is informative and the best travel video for its realism
Ah !!

Hello from Texas, Nice place.
Many Happy Greetings from Launceston, Tasmania .....
Looks a lovely place, my friend Sheri Shaw lives here, friended through FB,
You're playing "Bouqet Final" by Yelle in the beginning! I love Yelle!!!
Ha ha. It was playing on the radio Jason.
Thank you ........ (◕‿◕) ,,
Wow it looks nice, visiting this city so soon
Nice its kinda boring in launceston tho XD
thank you for posting this video, we really miss lonnie, I miss having a walk in Cataract Gorge, spending the afternoon in City Park or shop around the CBD...do you know the pizza shop at the city? own by a turkish, it's open from 6 PM to 6 AM, when I finish my work on library, mostly at 1 or 2 AM, I sometimes bought the pizza for a midnight hungry attack hahaha...ah lonnie is always lovely for me.
I am not sure which pizza shop in town you mentioned here but would love to try it sometime.
+MrHelidude : It's located near a korean restaurant. Yes you should try it one day, so far that's the best pizza for me. I dont really like pizza before studying in Lonnie, but that pizza is too delicious to be ignored hahahaha
It was a pretty long ride :)
Beautiful place! Thanks for sharing!
Happy new week
Yes, sorry Cédric for the long long clip. It took me ages to upload too. LOL ..... ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
This way you get to see come driving with me - unedited on the streets that I drive through almost on a daily basis (when I am home) , at ending up down at the park where I like flying my kites and my friend and I fly our model planes and helicopters some times over that water inlet. Heheheheeh ......... ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿
***** I can not imagine if i do the same upload with my Inernet connection in Thailand, i die for sure lol
Very lovely place anyway ;)
Ha ha. Can't be any worst that what we have here LOL :-)
Thanks
Amigo Nara: muy bonita y agradable su Ciudad de Launceston, al menos ya la conocí por medio de su video. Me gustó mucho, Saludos desde México y gracias por compartir.- !!! :D
Thanks Caguitas0
This is a long video but at least this way you can see the same as if you were driving with me at my home city .....

Hi to everyone there in Mexico ...........(◕‿◕) ,,
Very cool video with some really interesting looking buildings. It feels very different to me driving on the other side of the road. If I would have been driving we would have probly had an accident before we got home :-o
Thumbs up and Take care :-)
LOL . Thanks 1BLADESHY ..... (ツ)
I am so slow driving nowadays like an old turtle on the road it wouldn't matter. Ha ha...... ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

Thanks Thomas...... (ツ)
Very nice.
How about old mate in the black Honda Jazz @ 13:22 ? Where did they think they were heading for a head on?!
Ha ha. I reckon he got a little fright but I wasn't going fast and then slowed down even more anyway and he did put his hand up to say Ooops ! Sorry and that was really nice :)
Maybe just a Sunday driver!
more please!
wow beautiful sky...
Beautiful city
The sky is everywhere in Australia. Lol, what I mean is that it’s a typically Aussie sky.
hi , thanks for this video , my partner is thinking of moving there from burnie and i am thinking of emigrating in the future
Glad that you liked the drive by. Hope you will get to come and experience our city in real life soon .
Many happy greetings from Launceston ....... ❁◕ ‿ ◕❁
I miss lonnie sooo much, hope will be back there soon...
When were you here Kurniati ? Were you studying ? ...... (ツ)
+MrHelidude : yes, I did my master at AMC from 2012 to 2014, I got married at 2013 so I had my honeymoon in Taz, best place for honeymoon indeed hahaha...
Then you have to come back and visit one day ... ❁◕ ‿ ◕❁
Where is your home now Kurniati ?
I'm from Indonesia, and now living in Indonesia, one day I would definitely come to visit Tasmania again, and maybe we could have a drive around the city? :-)
Very interesting, thank you. Some commentary or even a few words appearing on the screen would have been nice for someone like me who’s thinking of moving to Launceston. I noticed there seems to be quite a busy city centre with plenty of shops and cafes and people milling about. Is that due to the lack of an out of town shopping mall? Where I live in Townsville there are three malls that have sucked the life out of the city centre. About a quarter or maybe a third of the shops in the main street are empty and it feels like a ghost town without a soul. Has Launceston got a heart?
Thank you ...... (っ◕‿◕)っ
Launceston does not have any multi storey malls so all shops are at ground level with the exception of the small old Myer department store (similar to that in "Are You Being Served" which is 3 levels..... (ツ)
Launceston city center is the heart of our city but sometimes parking space and fees make some people complain about shopping in the CBD.
It is such a beautiful old city with amazing architecture worth while of everything though.
MrHelidude thanks for your reply! As I said we’re considering moving to Launceston. I’m a bit worried about moving somewhere that’s inland because we currently live by the coast in Queensland and the kids love the beach. Being riverside, does it feel like there’s plenty of water around in Launceston or is it very much a landlocked kind of place?
No seaside here but plenty of snow near by in winter month. Ha ha
Have to come and see for yourself in winter before you decide to move or the kids might leave home early. LOL ..... (◕︵◕)
MrHelidude yes we’ll try to make it down for a holiday sometime. We spent a couple of months apple picking and travelling around Tassie years ago and loved the island but we were only in Launceston for a day. We come from the UK originally and find Queensland too hot to enjoy the outdoors, so the Tassie climate is perfect. Do you think there’s enough to keep a young family occupied in Launceston itself?
There is plenty to do in Launceston but most young people tend to move interstate to find work and explore their adulthood it seems.... (◕︿◕✿)
I just caught up with this, Nara. It looks a very pleasant and interesting city, although rather old-fashioned - all those rows of shops in the city centre especially. Here, most of the shops are in a few big malls, which is boring as they're all the same. A commentary would have been good, so maybe next time!?
Ha ah. Jim ! Me speak ?? Not if I can avoid it. Heheheheheh. I don't like my own voice and I don't think anyone else would either. LOL . Ha ha.
It is true our shops are like the good old fassioned days. Really nice. It is good to have big modern malls also though but I think that most people here will be happy to lag behind a little compared to the big cities. Makes Launceston quite unique and I think that is what a lot of visitors also like about our small place...... (◐.̃◐)
Can u drive past my school Invermay Primary School
Must be a Sunday, no traffic,they’re all having a lie in
Very beautiful place , reminds me a bit of Wellington NZ :)
Thank you ....... ❁◕ ‿ ◕❁
Ahh, Mr Helidude I meet you again! :) LOL You are a man of many talents!
Hey Kate ....... (っ◕‿◕)っ
We meet again. Yay . Ha ha ✔✔✔
Nara.
Looks like a nice place!
Thank you Bill.
Nice and quiet here. We are not a big city ............ (｡◕‿◕｡)
MrHelidude b careful he could b plotting terror attack for tassie
good video MrHelidude did you use a car camera????
Happy greetings Charles. Yes, I did use a small $90 "Dash Cam" .
Perhaps I should have edited the video and condensed it a little but at the same time this long versions serves as a nice memory for me so I uploaded the whole drive. LOL. ....... ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿
From Nara
Could be a lot of places in NZ, loverly old houses and shops. lt has character, not like the soleless new suburbs and malls.
Hi, I'm from India ..I'm planning to move to Launceston for my studies at UTas. I have a question about Racism in Tasmania.How welcoming are Tasmanians?
I am sure that you will be most welcome here in Tasmania Jina .
Come and enjoy your stay and the awesome and friendly University of Tasmania and their people.
Bring some kites and we can fly together in Launceston. Ha ha.
Many happy greetings.
Nara .......... (｡◕‿◕｡)
Jina Dev there racists that's why they inbreed..all I see is racist faces
Your welcome anywhere 💕
@@notorious2pacforeverthegre164
So you're calling Tasmanians "inbred" and yet _they're_ the racist ones?
Drive past my school Summerdale primary
Ohh i know that! I go to west launceston
Nice

Pretty place... Looks a lot like Fremantle. I notice the marked absence of rubber all over the roads.............. On the mainland every second driver just about, is doing stupid burnouts it seems. Its the national past time of the morons in our midst and I personally would like to see the cops give them a 5 year bus ticket every time they catch one.
Ha ha. That would be the biggest waste of good tyres. LOL.
But the nice hot weather there in Fremantle sure beats the wintry cold here for sure .......... (◕︵◕)
+MrHelidude Trust me..... Far better to have the wintry cold in a nice small city than to have the warmth with the levels of moronic behavior and the infestation of Boganism where once just ordinary people trod. I kid you not. You cannot drve 100m on any road here without seeing the black rings in the road. On highways, main roads, back roads...... anywhere. More money than brains to treat a vehicle that way.
LOL. So true ......... ✔✔✔

Except for driving on the wrong side of the road, this looks like Anytown, USA. Even the businesses are American: Xerox, Goodyear, Dominos, Coca Cola, Target, Staples, etc. It's like Twilight Zone. One day you wake up, go outside, everything looks the same. Except everyone's driving on the *wrong side of the road*. Well, almost everyone. The one black car at 13:23 forgot about the elaborate hoax and was momentarily driving on the *right* side of the road. Then he realized and quickly switched to the wrong side. A glitch in the Matrix perhaps?
Morpheus
Ha ha. So well said. Thank you.
Really enjoyed your comment. LOL.
Many happy greetings from Tasmania.
Oh ! And yes, I love coming the the USA.
Have only been to Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York as part of the airline crew numerous times . Awesome places ... ✔✔✔ ❁◕ ‿ ◕❁
from Nara
***** Thank you for the kind response :) And thanks for posting this video.
I came across your video as I was looking to learn about Tasmania. And the reason for that was that my very brief search of cities/regions that stay cool throughout the year turned up Tasmania. Would you say that's a fair characterization? In any case, Launceston looks like a beautiful town. Incidentally, I live in San Diego :)
Oh ! I would love to visit and see San Diego one day. So many nice things there especially the perfect weather. LOL .... (ツ)
The closest I have been is to Huntington beach. Ha ha.
Here in Northern Tasmania it can get quite hot in summer time (December - February), up and above 80°F .
The sun is so very bright here due to no pollution whatsoever and that radiant heat is a burner in summer. Even in winter on a good day with the sun out I would be happy to wear a T-shirt when the temperature is around the mid 50's.
Within an hour or so we can get sunburned quite badly so being outdoors for a short while could therefore mean putting on some sunscreen ........ (◕‿◕) ,,
***** That is rather hot, especially for my taste. Sounds like San Diego temperatures 9 months of the year lol. I suppose "perfect" is relative. To most people's taste San Diego is just about perfect. But my ideal temperature is about 15 degrees colder than most people's :) Like about 62°F. I absolutely dread San Diego's fall season. The hottest months here are Sep thru November, and it can easily get above 100°F, 3 miles or more inland. Not that it's much better on the shore at that time. Hence my search for cooler climes. Today I learned that "summer" is the #2 myth in Scotland, meaning basically non-existent :D Sounds like my kind of place. I'll have to check it out.
Ha ha. LOL.... ✔✔✔
I am quite comfortable at 65°F - 77°F as long as the sun is out .
I hardly ever wear a jumper even if it is only 50°F .
Bye for now OK ..... (ツ)
Was Launceston founded by Cornish immigrants? I am from Launceston in the UK and that has been around since the Dooms Day Book
Hi George. . .Launceston was settled by Europeans in 1806 and is one of Australia's oldest cities . . .
Launceston was first called Patersonia but then was later renamed Launceston in honour of a Governor who was born in Launceston, Cornwall, UK ......... (ツ)
MrHelidude hold on am I been given the wrong information about it at school they said 1817
Launceston is a good as city
how do they tread people that can t fit into society ? i mean unable to stay in a job pay rents and stuff ... do they have a wellfarestate over there ? or homeless people on the island ?
probably the same as in New Zealand, they eventually fall through the grid. Unless you are a Maori and get special government treatment, you won't have a chance...
thank you .
solunasunrise They have a place for those types in the north, it is called Georgetown.
