Not been to Tassie yet, but it's on my hit list (after WA) stunning part of Oz
The Richmond that has the Tigers AFL team is a suburb of Melbourne in Victoria. There are several places named Richmond in various States. Melbourne consists of over 1000 suburbs/neighbourhoods and is second only to LA in suburban sprawl.
Born and raised Tasmanian, and so happy to see you both enjoying it so much.
I'm Tasmanian and requested you review our beautiful island State in prior videos.
Thank you for doing so, much appreciated!!
Cheers, Chris
We had so many requests for Tasmania and we are very thankful for them! So beautiful 😍
I live in Tasmania and it really is that beautiful. We feel privileged every day to live here.
same here
Agree im from Hobart Tasmania I live in. Rokeby 😊❤
best place in the world to live imo
Move down here almost 2 years ago, anything that is a must see that I should be adding to my list of things to see/do?
@@ogfdeadmantaz4145 I live just down the road in Bogan Vale 😂
Tasmania is my home state & so many ppl, even Australians don't realise how beautiful & diverse it is, I love it ❤❤
I want to point out the struggle and pride that goes into our food. We want to share what makes up happy.
As an Australian I have to say that this was the best travelogue on Tasmanian I've seen . I suspect that the reason for this and also the reason you are normally bombarded with views of stereotypical harsh barren landscapes from Australia is that the videos are made by foreigners mostly Americans who like to dwell on the dramatic . Tasmania is one of the most beautiful places I've been on my 50 years of travelling , it has the cleanest air and water on the planet (a scientific fact) and some of the last unspoiled forests and wildlife anywhere . It should be noted that you would find the greener parts of Australia in every state and territory and most of our cities whether huge or small are greener than most cities in the world . The wombats wallabies kangaroos and koalas are just a few of the many cute freindly animals in Australia check out quokka, bilbys, sugergliders flying foxes ,etc , the fairy penguins you saw are found on the mainland also and I've seen them as far north as Port Stephens in NSW . There are over 10,000 beaches in Australia the vast majority of which are what you would call white but the beaches of Queensland's Whitsunday area include the actual whitest sand beaches in the world and are a sight not to be missed . I'm an old invalid which nothing better to do now that my travelling days are over so I love to watch channels like yours that take an interest in my beutiful country , and tend to waffle on to long in the comments in the hope they may help you in some small way .
I agree - it is a beautiful place!
At least nowadays when physically travelling somewhere is difficult, or even no longer possible at all, we can do plenty of “virtual travel”, via TV programs and the internet. I’ve “been” to places from the comfort of my home that I couldn’t afford to or manage anymore - as well as some I wouldn’t go to even if I could!
They are all interesting in their own way, but at someone else’s effort and expense. I’m just “along for the ride”, with little cost, no queues or long haul flights packed in economy, certainly no crowds or language barriers and often finding better views than I might manage on my own.
Hope you long continue to enjoy “travelling” whichever way you can!
We've got everything ❤
The journey is never quite 'over'...
There are a couple of towns around Australia called Richmond, like the town Richmond in Tasmania where the guy is, and there’s also a suburb in Melbourne called Richmond as well which is along the coast of Melbourne as well.😊and yes I’m living in Tassie now and I was born in Sydney which was the first place that was invaded by the British government so they could take us naughty convicts to dump because they couldn’t get rid of us because of the American revolution and you guys wouldn’t let us get dumped in the United States which is completely understandable 😅😅😅since my cousin did our family tree and just as I suspected we’re descended from a convict who married a free woman.😉
All those beautiful, old, rare forests, that are growing vegetation from Pangaea times, and Gondwana, are now under threat as our state government over rules the public voice to harvest the old forests for short term economic gain. The people here have been fighting for decades to save our forests and rivers.
@@jogrant3851 I wonder if our current PM will be able to step in as Bob Hawke did with the Franklin River?
Does the Tasmanian Premier want to make the WHOLE of Australia governed by Labour?
Hope it gets sorted - and saved - before it’s too late.
As a proud Tasmanian, thanks for looking at and appreciating my home state. Glad you enjoyed it so much :)
In country Australia most farmers will have what is called " honesty boxes " by their front gates. You can buy all kinds of food and fruits, leave your money in honesty boxes.
Hi ladies. One interesting thing not mentioned in the vid is the Huon Pine, a species of tree found only in Tasmania's far Southwest near Strahan. (A town shown in the vid) It exists nowhere else on the planet. There are living species of this massive tree that are 2000 to 3000 years old, and some of the fallen timber is way older. A stand of trees (a continuous living group) was discovered to have existed for over 10,500 years. This amazing tree thrives in a wet environment but does not rot due to natural oils in the timber. The Huon pine was used extensively in early shipbuilding, and was almost logged to extinction, but patches survived. Of course, it is now protected. We hope you are enjoying a peek at our great country. Cheers.
And Huon Pine wood has a wonderful natural smell to it.
Strahan is in the Northwest not Southwest
@@FranticMonster11 well, it's on the west really
@@odgregg yeah that's fair
@Tuokool Yeah, it's wonderful wood. We purchased some raw pieces last time we were over on the west coast. Had a friend make a lovely dice tower and box (for board games) from it, and a few other things. The smell of the natural oils is wonderful.
Did you see us there, crossing the spooky bridge??😊😊😊 We do 4 different carriage tours of Hobart and we think Hobart is the prettiest capital city in all of Australia❤
wombats (or pudgeybutts as i call them) are super cute, harmless and friendly, and strange-but-true: their poopies are actually cubic in shape (i'm not even kidding)
They poop their poops on to of rock to claim territory... and on random concrete footings occasionally.
This is my home state and a place I am immensely proud to live in. 2 things - Koalas are on the mainland, not Tassie, and the name you missed for the spikey little creatures is echidna [pronounced: ee kid na].
You are so luck you were sent this look at Tassie. I live in Burnie and have found most the time we don't get mentioned in TH-cam clips. The majority show Launceston, Hobart, Cradle Mountain and all the areas around those places. This clip has given a more inclusive veiw of Tasmania. Naturally, not everything is included but it does give a good taster for what the state has to offer. Tasmania is 68, 401 square kilometres (42502 square miles). Our population is around 527,000.
Tasmania is like the Scotland of Australia. It snows there during winter.
Also has 4 Seasons in one day.
G'day Guys! Currently the Aussie dollar is worth about 63 US cents so their month rental works out to a bit less than $2,000 US... Natasha that first bird flitting about was one of the many species of "Fairy Wrens" we have across Australia...The "goose" is indeed a "Cape Barren Goose." Cheers! Almost forgot...Different Richmond...Your AFL team there is in inner Melbourne...
You could spend several years touring Tasmania and Australia. Tasmania was once connected to the mainland by a land bridge to Victoria. Much of the landscape is similar to what we have in southern Victoria, including wombats, koalas, little penguins, wallabies, echidnas (pronounced e-kid-na), and much, much more. Hobart is the destination of the world-famous Sydney to Hobart yacht race held at the end of the year. It is also the base for the Antarctic supply ship. A most wonderful state to be in (excuse the pun).
Sounds like a wonderful retirement plan! 😉
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow We'll be waiting for you. Some say it feels like coming home, even if they're visiting for the first time!
Maybe our land it just peaceful in a Goldilocks kind of way?
And plenty of eshays and junk dogs 😂
Born and bred in Tassie. I'm even descended from a marine (and family) on the first fleet to Hobart in 1804! Winter usually sees Mt Wellington with a dusting of snow, but this vid was at the tail end of the season heading into Spring. Snow is more in the Central Highlands. It's a pity they didn't head inland a bit more to historical Georgian towns and villages like Oatlands, Evendale, Ross etc. Even just googling them brings up beautiful pictures.
Was just going to suggest checking out the Georgian architecture in the midlands too when I read your comment, so much beauty. Our family has been there since the early 1800s also!
I’m loving learning about Australia ❤
My bestie moved to Tasmania 10 years back so I visit a lot. It is truly gorgeous, to the the point that you sometimes get overwhelmed with the non-stop beauty. But you’ll keep coming back…
Our world is a beautiful place, so many wonders of nature in all countries. My Mum and Dad loved camping Tasmania especially the west coast as it reminded them of Scotland immigrated in 1962 to Australia.
Yesss!!! Couldn't have said it better!
I wonder if your mum and dad ever went to the New England area of New South Wales, up around the (Scottish settled) Armidale and Glen Innes? That was our preferred route from Melbourne to the Gold Coast. We loved the cold crisp Winter weather with occasional snow and then the drive over to South Grafton through the sub tropical rain forest. Setting off from Armidale prepared for snow and a couple of hours later stripping off for 20+ C on the northern NSW coast!
With all the turmoil in the world Tasmania is a great place to live.
My late wife was from south of Hobart in Tasmania. Huonville was famous for its apples. My mother in law worked 45 years straight picking apples and pruning apple trees, she is 90 now. We had numerous visits for shorter periods but the scenery and wild life is amazing. The east coast has many lovely places. Never got to the west coast. There is far more to see and many places are some that you would just drive past and not notice. The view from Mt Wellington is fantastic.
Hi Zac Cat I'm a Huon Valley resident myself. Living on the Channel. It's a pretty special place and the orchards are getting popular again. Apple picking is in full swing at the moment .
Simon Baker (The Mentalist) was born in Launceston., Tassie. Parents moved before he turned 1, but that’s where he started.
I have lived in Melbourne for 33 years (from UK) travelled all over the world but, to my shame only ' discovered' Tasmania 5 years ago. And now I am obsessed. It is a stunning island. The hiking is fantastic, the coastline is spectacular and the produce is world class, especiallythe sea food.
As wonderful as this is, the one thing that it can’t convey, is the incredible smell of the forest’s, and the ocean’s.
Tasmania has some of the cleanest air in the world, and it is stunningly beautiful.
yes!
Yep, love coming home, stepping off the plane and smelling the fresh, Tassie air!
There are Cool-temperate, Warm-temperate, Dry, & Subtropical,tropical Rainforests in Australia.
Tasmania has 4 different types of cool-temperate rainforest - and is by far the best example of that kind of lush, misty, crispy-fresh-air type of forest.
On the other hand, if you headed north for about three & a half thousand kilometres, you’d find yourself in the Wet Tropics Rainforest in Queensland, part of the oldest continually surviving tropical rainforest anywhere. The area includes the Daintree Rainforest, where along some stretches of coastline the tropical forest grows right down to the edge of the ocean. It’s over 135 million years old - the oldest rainforest in the world. Definitely the best place in the country for soft, hot, wet, tropical-air forest, where you can actually imagine you saw a pterodactyl fly overhead.
My eldest brother and second eldest sister live in Tasmania ....they have so much of a good life there ....beautifull part of the world
Have you visited?
As someone who lives in Tasmania (Hobart), I tend to forget how fortunate I am. This video is a beautiful reminder that I get to live in such an incredible place. 💚
Emotionally Stunning, beautiful, and I’m speechless. Wow!!… thank you ladies!! Xx
Great reaction thankyou!👍
Just for a light-hearted giggle of Aussie slang - a common reference to a woman's
"nether region" is her
"map of Tassie"!.
A glance at the shape of Tassie,and it becomes fairly self evident.
-Just a bit of trivia for you.😄
Zebedee from Oz. 👍👍
Tasmania is such an amazing place with an amazing history. I grew up in Ulverstone 30 minutes east of Burnie on the Coast. Wallabies are a smaller relative of the kangaroo. The rain forests are actually called temperate rainforest rather than tropical rain forests. It used to be connected via a land bridge to the mainland of Australia ( thousands of years ago ) Tasmania has the cleanest air in the world. Weather patterns continue uninterrupted from the east coast of south america to the west coast of Tasmania. Tasmania has a population of approx 500,000 and is the second oldest colony of Australia. Sydney first then Hobart. As a convict if you were bad you went to sydney if you were really bad you got sent to Tasmania. The West coast of Tasmania has rain most of the year round. Cradle Mountain is exceptional and the overland track takes roughly 6 days to walk ( Dad and I actually ran it on year and did it in 3.5 days ). Most tourists come for a week or so and that is not enough!! So many more places to see and so many more things to do. A rental property will cost you approx $270.00 usd per week on a 6 - 12 month lease.
If you girls ever decide to visit Australia the wife and I would be more than happy to show you around the state of Victoria and Tasmania.
A rental property will cost you $270 USD a week if you can find one... Maybe you'll get one in Ulverstone, but good luck finding one in or around Hobart or Launceston. The property market is rooted here these days. And we do have kangaroos, forester kangaroos.
@@LordandGodofTH-cam 270 for a room ..in hobart anyway
@@raindog428 if you can find one.
There actually is kangaroo in Tasmania they are forester kangaroo
You're right; Australia is so much more than desert (although that's stunning too!) Looking forward to seeing you guys discover more about our amazing country. BTW, don't worry about swearing. We Aussies are a pretty casual bunch!
Tasmania is absolutely beautiful! I am in Melbourne, Australia and did a driving holiday through Tassie. It is a gorgeous state! PS Those animals that looked like tiny kangaroos are pademelons and the small quilled animal is an echidna. Have been really enjoying your reactions to our fabulous country! Richmond, Tasmania is not related to the Richmond (a Melbourne suburb) AFL club. Hope to see you both downunder one day!
Since living here we have been to every corner of the state (23 years). It only took one hour flying from Hobart to Melbourne to sell our house in Western Australia to buy a house in this beautiful place. Wombats are fabulous, as long as they aren’t hit by a car cos they can take the front diff out. BTW we live in one of the most beautiful places on the island.
Ha ha... Same here Jean. One holiday 15 years ago and suddenly Wembley Perth was on the market and off to Cygnet we trotted... Best move ever.
Great awe inspiring video, what a beautiful island state, Tasmania is now on my bucket list 😍
Tasmanian has breathtaking sea cliffs on the south coast near Port Arthur.So majestic.. Port Arthur has a sad history of suffering. The Port Arthur historic prison site saw our convicts being treated brutally. From floggings to freezing wet leaking stone cells. Unfortunately in19 95 it witnessed the biggest shooting massacres in known Australian history. . It's a very poignant place but the ruins are still intact with some houses of the prison officers being faithfully restored. Definitely worth seeing
Check out either the Blue Mountains just west of Sydney or the Snowy mountains down southern eastern part of Australia. You'll be blown away with what to see there. 👍
Those spiny animals are echidnas, one of the world's only two monotremes (egg-laying mammals) the other of which is the platypus - also commonly found in Tasmania. The wombat is also an interesting creature for two particular reasons - 1) it's pouch faces backwards so it doesn't get filled with dirt when it digs a burrow; 2) it has cube shaped poop. Seriously.
Cube shaped poo 💩
That's even more freaking adorable!! Yes, we're weird like that! Thanks for all this info!
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow no worries. We're full of weird stuff down under :)
Fairy penguins - there is a place called Philip Island just south of Melbourne and close to Tasmania but in Victoria (mainland) and it has a famous run of fairy penguins that visitors spend time filming. That island is the former home of the Hemsworth brothers before Hollywood.
You can also see the fairy penguins at low head just out of Georgetown at the head of the Tamar River Tasmania (There is a Tamar river that is in Wales as well
My Auntie lived in Geelong, the opposite side of the bay and had a penguin wander into their yard. It ended up spending the afternoon in their bath.
I have seen wild penguins in Sydney Harbour and Pittwater (the next harbour in the northern suburbs of Sydney). It always amazes me people don’t realise they live that far north.
That little fridge on Bruny island is stocked with the best sourdough bread that one of the locals bakes every day, it works on an honour system, take your loaf and leave your money in the tin. There was a place called lake pedder on the west that had a 3km pink quartz beach but sadly the government F’d up. I’m so lucky to call Tasmania home 💙
Princess Mary of Denmark was born and raised in Tasmania. She met Prince Frederick in a Sydney pub (Slip Inn) during the Sydney Olympics 2000. She will be Queen of Denmark one day.
And Princess Mary barracks for Carlton. The Blues celebrate the club's 160th birthday next year.
Carlton play Richmond tomorrow night, first game of the 2023 AFL season.
Starts in about 24 hours from now, expecting 90,000 people to attend.
Love this, being Tasmanian it's easy to forget just what a wonderful place it is. While you can't have a pet wombat, wildlife carers are sometimes needed to raise orphaned babies - the mother of one of my friends was rearing an orphan wombat and I still remember this tiny mostly hairless wombat charging up and down the hallway of her house.
I grew up in Launny and most summers growing up we'd go camping on Maria Island. Massive nostalgia feels watching this.
Don't be fooled by the beaches, the water is SO cold.
The aussie dollar is worth a little less than the Canadian dollar if that helps with quick conversions.
I ❤ my trip around Tasmania. There is so much to see and he is so right about the food. The purest air in Australia to my mind. $ conversion is AUD$3000 = approx. US$2000. I loved The Wall in The Wilderness which was an art work in progress when I visited comprising panel after panel of wood carving. Truly amazing. We found the accommodation fairly reasonable everywhere we went with Strahan being in the upper $ range but well worth the 5 days we spent there checking out the harbour, the river and the rain forest and the rack and pinion railway through the rain forest mountains. Never pass up the food offerings because of the $cost because the quality of the food cannot be surpassed (except maybe could be equaled in Scotland), and NO I am not a Tasmanian and I have travelled the World and the quality of the food was that good. ❤️ you girls 👋
My wife and I did a 10 day trip to Tasmania, and were lucky to even see a fifth of the state. Highlights of our trip were Port Arthur Heritage Convict Settlement(did both the day and night tours), the Tahune Treetop Walk(looking down the Huon River Valley), the Penguin Walk at Bicheno(on the north east coast), Cataract Gorge in Launceston, Woolmers Estate(The 1.53 hectare Rose Garden which has Heritage Rose varieties along with more modern varieties), and Bothwell(for a small town it has over 50 heritage listed buildings, along with the only consecrated toilets - that's another story). You could take two months, and you might just about see all of Tasmania.
As a very proud Taswegian (another name for someone who has always lived in Tasmania), I wish more people would acknowledge that we exist. If you ever make it here, make sure you ask to see the little known areas and attractions - many of them staffed purely by volunteers. This is the first video of yours that I have seen, and I am definitely subscribing
I love visiting Tasmania, it’s breathtakingly beautiful. From visiting family there it feels like an amazing place to live if you’re well off, retired or just there for a short stay. It can sometimes feel like a harder place to live for younger people with lower incomes, due to fewer opportunities, but still a great place to be. Tasmania is a must visit destination.
It's 100% on our list!!
Completely agree. My in-laws are over there and it definitely can be a place for everyone. The cost of living and standard of living is better than most of Australia. Like anywhere it has its issues and perceptions change depending on demographics.
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow It should be noted that the video you watched avoided the heavily trafficked "tourist traps" and some of the iconic historic areas, like Port Arthur which was the site of Australia's arguably harshest penal colony.
Also, Tasmania is the smallest state of Australia. Western Australia, to which you've already reacted, is the largest state. The Aussie dollar is worth around USD 0.65 - 0.70
Feel so lucky that Tassie is my home. Currently exploring the far south of the state and loving it. Thanks for your appreciation of the place.
thanks for looking into my beautiful state! i have lived in launceston all my life and really enjoy people noticing us!
Thank you so much for the shout out! It was a pleasure to send you the scarf, and I really didn't think you would show it on your channel! To be clear, there are about 15 different Richmond suburbs in 5 different states in Australia. The AFL Richmond Tigers are a major Victorian football club since 1885, and Richmond is a neighbouring suburb of Melbourne (capital of Victoria), and adjacent to the MCG or the Melbourne Cricket Ground - commonly known as the 'G. This season starts this Thursday night 16th March 2023, Richmond vs Carlton at the 'G with an expected crowd of 85,000-90,000 for an opening game. You can view some highlights and you may see me there - when you come to Australia I would love to take you to a game! Your Aussie friend - Nick.
Nick! Yay there you are!! Thank you again for the great gift!! We truly appreciate it! Of course we would give you a shout out and show our new scarf! We really appreciate you ♥️♥️
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow Remember, when you come to Australia, I have you penciled in for Richmond game at the 'G, and I'll show you around my town Mel-bun (Melbourne.) So it's not IF you come, it's WHEN you come :)
@@aa-au Deal!
Hello from Perth Western Australia. I went to Tasmania years ago on holiday well worth the visit. Visited Port Arthur an former prison colony and it has a chocolate factory too.
Moved to Tassie over 20 years ago and I’m still finding more and more beautiful spots. I’ve been exploring the east coast which was not featured very much in this video
That's my next destination. Using Bicheno as my base this time. Cannot wait.
Thank you for checking out our beautiful state! We often get left off most things Australian even the map sometimes so it is appreciated muchly!! If you ever get down to our island number one local top I can give is bring and wear sunscreen. It’s a bit of a myth that we are a frozen tundra with polar bears roaming around (actual quote from a Melbournian) lol but we have the highest UV and get burnt even in a sunny day so slip swoop slap 😎😉 Also watch the roadkill we try to clean it up for tourists but they just keep jumping out haha
I blame the roads 😐 get me my Tassie devil laser eyes to zap them to size and magick some wildlife corridors
Just be aware, most of our animals don't like to be cuddled, yes those that are hand raised can be to a certain extent, but generally they really don't like it.
If you want to know about Tassie ask a Tasmanian. The North West Coast is simply stunning as is the west coast and there are so many wonderful places to explore. Come visit, you'll love it.
I’m so happy you did this video I loved my time in Tassie, we stayed in Hobart for three days and we went to the top of Mount Wellington and the views were breath taking, wallabies came to meet us in parks and my sister loved the Wombats. We saw a penguin when we visited the town of… wait for it Penguin lol I have a pic standing next to the giant penguin We visited Launceston too Cataract Gorge was amazing. I could go on and on 🤣❤️
Hi ladies, I thoroughly enjoyed watching you having your first sight of my island home Tasmania, I've travelled most of Australia and I'm always glad to get back home to Tassie. The video was great but there is much much more to see in the state. Seeing cradle Mountain and dove Lake covered in snow is something really special. I hope for your sake that you manage to get here someday, i would love to play for guide for you guys. Oh and toss that tigers scarf away ave get yourself a Carlton blues one. They are the most successful Aussie rules side of the lot, and way classier 😉
I'm from Tassie and live in this beautiful state after returning from Western Australia where I was for 20 years, please check out the Walls of Jerusalem national park photos, it's out of this world, mainland Australia call us " back wards" or poor cousins but they don't know what they are missing!!, thanks for your appreciation of my wonderful Island state❤🙏
You seem amazed by the penguins in Tasmania southern coastline. There are also several colonies along the southern coast from New South Wales in the east to penguin Island in Western Australia. There are colonies in Manly, a suburb of Sydney and In St Kilda an inner Melbourne suburb only about 7 km from the Melbourne city centre.
Tasmanian born and bred, seen a lot of the world, but wouldn’t live anywhere else!
Thanks for this - I sometimes need reminding that I live in one of the most spectacular places on earth. There is no where in Tassie that isn't beautiful. Sometimes in the ordinariness of life, we forget that. I'm not a fan of cold, and it is cold by Australian standards. I have friends in Canada who laugh at me often . . . . I've lived in other places in Australia and miss the warmth. The saving grace of Tasmania is that it really is just so beautiful. I hope you do get to see and one day experience it for real. You might need and want more than two months though . . . . .seriously. It's an under rated place.
We are 100% sold, it's truly stunning
Thank you so much for your videos ladies and just love your reactions on Australia. This one on Tasmania gave great detail for a short a video. Well done to the producer.
I've lived in Melbourne, Victoria my whole life. The only time I've been to Tasmania was when I was in the Senior Band in high school, we went on tour over there. I sometimes joke how that was the first time I ever went 'overseas'.
I remember that each member of the band stayed in a different household, each of which volunteered to look after us while we were over there. I remember the house I stayed in had this friendly couple who let me stay in their son's old room. There was a lot of Pokemon merchandise in there, including the bed 😂
As a North Queenslander, I laughed a little when she referred to it as a tropical rainforest 😂
It is temperate rainforests.
Only a Queenslander would find that funny :D
Love your reaction to the things most Australians take for granted ,this place is vastly different from coast to coast from the tropical north to outback and tassie hope you get a chance to see our land of wonders
All i get is constant rain
And shitty wifi
Spent just under six months in Tassie and drove over 8,000 kilometres. We towed a caravan and camped mostly in RV friendly sites. Often in small areas off the road surrounded by wildlife of every type. This was in 2010 and we still have friends we met there doing the same as us. Beautiful place to stay for a relaxing time.
Errol Flynn was from Tasmania starred in films in the 30s born in Hobart in 1909 died in 1959.
amazing how much Queenstown in Tasmania is like Queenstown in New Zealand (though probably more mountains in NZ)
Actually, I was just thinking how little the Queenstown in Tassie resembled the Queenstown in NZ. You are right about the mountains though, Real Queenstown is surrounded by the breathtaking Remarkables. ( No shade intended, Tassie is beautiful, most of the same latitudes North - South as New Zealand)
@@michaelnolan6951 I was more thinking of the setting, next to lakes with mountains nearby. Not been to the one in Tassie, but have been to the one in NZ many times
@@neilfleming2787 Got you! Yes, I suppose by that measure it is similar. I just love NZ Queenstown as one of my favourite places in the world. Back in the day I had many friends who worked at the Millennium and Copthorne hotels, and another who was operations manager at Millbrook resort, I have lived in the UK for 18 years, but still half assed hope to retire in Queenstown one day.
@@michaelnolan6951 lol, you and me both on the retirement thing, just seems expensive there. Oh and I stayed at the Copthorne last time I was there, apart from the raucous medical conference party it was really good
A while back I watched a fascinating documentary about the extinct tazmanian tiger. But it was mentioned that there are rumours of recent sightings obviously suggesting that it may not be extinct. This to me makes it even more fascinating. I'd love to know if it's still out there.
I've visited Tassie a few times and it's stunningly beautiful and the towns are so quaint and old world with a very English style. It's also the coldest place I've ever been too! Temps do vary to hot in Summer - but Winter - brr!! Hobart is also famed for being the first city in Australia to have a casino - Wrest Point - that created a major tourism draw from the mainland when it opened in 1973. There are others now, but it was a big deal for Tassie to get the first casino here.
Couple of things. Richmond Football Club is in Melbourne, the Aussie dollar is worth about 70c US, and You can stand on a beach with Rangers north of Launceston at dusk and the fairy penguins will walk right past you (sometimes between your legs if you stand still) on their way to their hutch.
Bruny Island, you can catch a boat to see the seal colonies and whale watching (at the right time of year). Highlight of my life was seeing a whale breach about 100 metres from the boat.
The video was shot in late September early October 2021, Spring in the Southern Hemisphere
Love your positive outlook that you bring to YT. Love the joy you get looking and new things. I hope you get the chance to experience some of them.
Also, as a childish 60yo bloke, I kept chuckling, and I am sure many others did as well, at your references to a Map of Tassie. Very much an Australian phrase. Urban Dictionary will explain.
I loved this you guys ❤ I'm so glad you enjoyed this. My mum is Aussie and my Dad is Maori/Kiwi so I pledge allegiance to both countries 😂😂 despite being born in Aussie I spent most of my upbringing in NZ, these scenes remind me so much of NZ, it really is very similar! So beautiful and one of the main reasons we have fought so hard to protect it ❤ You know, Aus and NZ are like bickering siblings, we hassle and tease and make fun of each other but no one else is allowed to and we always have each other's backs, I guess that's the best way I can describe it 🤷😂 When you get a chance and if you're interested you would love watching similar videos of NZ 😁👍🇦🇺
LOL You just described the bickering between Launceston and Hobart we in the north can't understand why they made Hobart the capital when Lonnie is so much closer to the mainland. Of course Hobart gets al. The better things being the Capital I 4 one prefer it this way because I prefer the quieter lifestyle less traffic etc
There are about 8,000 islands around Australia. Tasmania is beautiful and I have visited there many times. Will be going back again.
I have been watching your videos and I came across this one and was so thrilled that it showed Dover where I live (about 5km's from town on a 21 acre property. I am a Catholic monk and we have a simple monastery here. We have lived in Dover since 2015. It is so beautiful here. Dover is 80kilometres south of Hobart.
The animal near the end of the video, which had spines, is called an echidna. Not as cuddly as wombats are they? 🙂 Also do Google another very adorable Australian animal called the Quokka. They are found on Rottnest Island.
Wonderful clip of Tassie girls.
I love your reactions to the beautiful scenery everywhere....
I'm from Melbourne, and live about 30 minutes from the CBD in a town called Werribee.
It's so great to see lovely people who are so interested in learning about our culture. I look forward to more informative and funny clips from you both. Stay well and shine xxxx
Thank you so much 💓
We are really enjoying our introduction to Australia 🇦🇺
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow we are so pleased to have you both in our lives. xxx
@Marie Wilson that's very kind of you, we can assure you, we are the lucky ones! You've all been so welcoming, and we truly feel the love ❤️
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow lol i also used to live in Werribee and was very close to moving to Tassie The place i had worked at for 38 years was closing and i thought about moving to Tassie ...but when my Daughters heard of my plans they ganged up on me and changed my mind to live closer to them in Yarrawonga (nsw /vic border) we have lake Mulwala here and the mighty Murray river (not so mighty after seeing the Ohio river in Southern Indiana where my wife Hails from ) . Loving your reactions and humility btw Nat i think you have got the gyday down pat :) .I really hope you 2 manage to get over here one day .I think you will love it btw i remember Deb said in another vid that she likes dirt roads well you have come to the right place for those lol .
I'm in Hoppers 😊😊
Thanks so much, Tasmania is beautiful. I love the Wombats too 😊. This reaction made me smile heaps. Keep up the excellent work N & D 👍
Dover is great little community, I used to fish of the pier in 1960s where we had aholiday home just a 200yards from the bay , housing and land very reasonably priced, its one the most southern part of Australia.
Never been to Tassie but would love to visit one day. Great reaction, ladies! 👍❤️🇦🇺
You should!
No way Sydney Swans...go Carlton!!! Richmond is fine...one of the original Victorian teams. AFL is not a big deal in NZ, but I recall the 1980's when we got the grand final at the MCG live on our one TV channel Carlton were playing someone and won, so decided to support 'em haha 🤣
HELLO TO ALL SUBSCRIBES!
I think we should start raising money for them, so they could come to beautiful Australia!!
I'm from Adelaide South Australia, I went to Tassie for a holiday and it stole my heart..so my dream is to move there...south Australia has some awesome places to visit as well, but I like the cooler weather and greenery of Tassie.
The way we pronounce G'day, depending on how broad your accent is, might rhyme more with die.
We have no accent! 😆
Funny Natasha that you said "New Zealand" as Tassie scenery is often compared to New Zealand. You should check out Cradle Mountain in Tas - its stunning
We have a lot more forest than New Zealand.
Thankyou for checking out my home state of Tasmania (Tassie).
I've lived here for most of my life.
I've lived, worked & played in places some ppl can only dream of seeing, & they weren't featured in this vid.
But this is reflective of how much is packed into a small space (an island).
The unique climate & variation of environments... rugged coastlines & white sandy beaches to inland lakes & river systems provides a unique experience with something different to look at in every direction.
To give an idea of climate... we sometimes get cold air that swirls up from Antarctica & causes it to snow in the middle of summer, & everyone in Tassie rugs up & hugs their heaters & wood fires while the rest of Australia walks around in shorts & thongs/sandles & hugs their air conditioner to keep cool.
Our food, produce & local culture is reflective of our environment... world class cray fish from the rugged coastlines to world class trout & freshwater salmon from inland lakes & river systems.
In the centre of all this lies pasture & farmland that provides some of the best quality fruit, veg & meat... in addition to forestry (as featured in the vid).
Some of our best quality exports of fruit include cherries & apples.
Local native wildlife that is unique to Tassie is also a big draw card that attracts a lot of visitors to my home state. Many of which make the mistake of believing we have koalas here.
Koalas are native to mainland Australia & don't exist in the wild in Tassie.
But we do have drop bears... a distant cousin of the koala, & one of the main reasons ppl don't go camping alone in Tassie.
Like a lot of wildlife in Tassie, these drop bears are nocturnal (come out at night), which makes it extra risky to be wandering around in the bush at night.
If you ever visit my home state of Tassie, remember to bring a puffer jacket... we'll know that you are visiting & give you special treatment.
Also be prepared for the dry sense of humour of the local ppl.
The creator of the vid you featured did a good job for a visitor or someone from mainland Australia (he's wearing a puffer jacket & there's not a cloud in sight in any of the content).
But this is a good example of how fresh the air is in Tassie.
The only real negative is some of the locals may be offended by an outsider from mainland Australia releasing a video to the public where they mispronounce names of major locations featured in their production.
Ie/eg. Triabunna is not pronounced Tree-a-bunn-ah. It's pronounced Try-a-bunn-ah.
It's pronounced this way to confuse outsiders... they have to keep 'trying' & maybe they'll get it one day.
The Richmond thing... the AFL team & Tassie town are completely different things.
The AFL team is based in a city located in the state of Victoria (mainland Australia).
Tassie currently doesn't have a team in the AFL... but may do in future (#WatchThisSpace).
Thankyou again for featuring my home state, & thankyou for reading my comment (if you read it).
I hope my comment provided a bit of insight from a local perspective.
P.S. Pro tip if you come to Tassie & want to have an off the beaten track experience & look like a local... wear a flannie (shirt), a pair of jeans or fleecy trackie dacks to keep the legs warm, a pair of blunstone boots & grow a mullet (hair style).
Consuming alcohol is always optional, but a lot of locals travel with an esky (hard box cooler) or powered cooler in case they need to put anything on ice (freshly caught fish etc) or just to keep stuff (groceries etc) cold.
These types of things are popular in Tassie among ppl that like to spend extended periods of time off the beaten track (like myself).
There is more parts of Australia that are similar, parts of NSW and Victoria are beautiful like this. All the different states have areas like this. But Tassie is stunning, no doubt about that. The Echidna was the little creature with the Spines. And you definitely wouldn’t pat any of those wild Wombats, Australia is beautiful, and we are lucky to live here.
Tigers are definitely best way to go!!!! I’m a fan too btw and I’ve been to Cincinnati and had best coffee I’d had in the USA 🌟
That's great to hear!! We hope you enjoyed your stay in our Queen City!
You nailed it!!
But really? Not feeling strong on that one...
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow so many get G'day wrong..."goodday"...especially poms lol
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow Really nailed it!!
Thanks for your comments about our beautiful state Tasmania, I’m born and bred here for 48 years and can’t see myself living any where else.
Thank you for these reaction videos on Oz. We are so spoiled by being surrounded by this all our lives & just accepting it as the norm.
I grew up in the subtropical rainforest hinterland of north-east New South Wales in the 70's.
These type of videos make me look at my sunburnt country with new eyes.
Great reaction :) . If you like nature and mountains that are similar to Tasmania, then I think you would enjoy looking at the Blue Mountains in Australia, which are about 2 hours West of Sydney. I have lived in the Blue Mountains all of my life and I still think that it is one of the most beautiful places in Australia. Keep up the good work and quality entertainment. 😀
1 AUD is about 66 US cents, so 2/3rds. That rental is around $2400 USD for the month. Most places in the south can go for roughly $1200-1400 USD a month.
Reward yourselves by listening to some Aussie music . Try John Farnham in concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra singing 'Help" and "Your the Voice" a pop singer with an orchestra backing him, you will be amazed and delighted and emotional too, and also try "The Seekers" "I am Australian" final farewell performance ...... more emotion and delight
If I showed my mother this she would be so mad! We are born and bred in Geelong! We support our local afl team the Geelong cats! They won the premiership (Australia’s super bowl) this past year and have won it 4 times in the past 11 years! Go cats!!!!
To answer your question: no, not the same Richmond, although at a guess they're probably both named after the same person.
The Richmond Tigers are from Melbourne. The Richmond portrayed here is a quaint little Tasmanian country town.
I live in Tasmania. Visited here in 06 and never left lol ❤
Hi Ladies.... glad you loved the Tassie experience. You should check out Broome and the Kimberley region which is about as far away from Tasmania as you can get. Beautiful scenery, different flora and fauna. Stunning beaches and amazing outback landscapes.
All I can say is WOW!!! I never imagined Tasmania looking like that! I loved it! Loved the wombats & of course, the penguins!!! Are these The Little Blue or Fairy penguins??? LOVE THEM!!! I loved that so much unspoiled land!!! Paradise!!!!
There are "Richmonds" all around the world. I think the original was a huge palace in London UK. The AFL Richmond is a small inner city suburb of Melbourne with very working class roots. Australia has many Rainforests mostly along the East Coast, Tropical in the far North all the way to the Cool Temperate ones in Tasmania. Tasmania is a great destination, just bring a jumper (that's a Sweater for you Americans) just in case.
I'm Australian and never been to Tasmania but wow after seeing that I want to, I can't for health reasons but thanks for sharing that. 🥰🙂
G’day guys. Have lived in Tassie my whole life. Will never leave 😊
A lot of tourists come to little old Tassie for only a week cos it's so small, but no way is that enough. ABSOLUTE MINIMUM would be 2 weeks, but even then you would be rushed off your feet. So much to see and do, it probably takes you 7 days to get into the rhythm of life here, there is no point in rushing. You should do a reaction video on the Tasmanian Devil. It's real. It's not just a cartoon character. They're kinda cute, until you see them eat or hear their scream.
