I moved to Tassie 5 years ago from the Mainland and its the best move we ever made. Pity you didnt get out of Hobart, there is SO MUCH MORE to Tasmania!! You must return and see the Nth, West & (in my opinion) a lesser extent the East. The West is particularly beautiful.
I moved down to Tassie a year ago & it’s the best move I EVER made & will never return to the mainland to live again! I live on the Nth West Coast & its spectacular beauty will stun you! From world class food & wineries like Ghost Rock Winery, the historic seaside village of Stanley, famed for its freshly caught seafood, to the breathtaking majesty of Cradle Mountain, there’s SO MUCH MORE to see & do in Tassie than you realise!
There is a gorgeous waterfront there - a huge mountain overlooking a gorgeous city. Beautiful sandstone architecture. The Salamanca Market area , the churches. All within minutes of where you are. ?
You can get virtually any cuisine in Australia. There are over 270 ethnicities here. Most of them are represented food wise. I live in Perth and I'm within ten minutes drive of Indian, Thai, Malaysian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Nepalese, Italian, Greek, French, American, Singaporean, Japanese, Mexican, Croation, Indonesian, British, Aussie, Swedish, Brazilian, Korean, Ethiopian, Spanish, pub food, fine dining,Lebanese, Iranian, Filipino and many many more types of restaurants. Melbourne and Sydney are nearly three times bigger and have even more variety and options. Not sure that Vegas is any more varied than Australia.
I think I commented something similar on another thread. Melbourne was great for food but still not quite what vegas has. We never expected the diversity of food that Vegas has, until we moved here. It literally has everything you listed and more. The Mexican in Melbourne is not the traditional Mexican food you can get here, in addition to the vast array of types of American food such as Hawaiian. What we are saying will be hard to believe but Vegas is a different level for Foodies.
You should go back there and check out the west side of the island. Its untouched, has the 2nd tallest trees in the world and the place is spectacular. It also has the cleanest air in the world outside of Antarctica.
@@duncanmackenzie4076 Yeah but it was a really long ass drive from Cradle Mountain Resort to Strahan, have lunch, then back through Hobart and down to Cygnet. If there was a lovely place to stopover and relax, we missed it..
15:37 Yep. But let me tell you why. Population of the USA is 333milion, Australia is 26million. Annual visitors to Melbourne is 7.2million. Hobart is 1.6million including domestic travellers. Las Vegas has 42.5million visitors. So, maybe that has something to do with why everything and anything is available in Las Vegas?
All of Australia is KNOWN for how culturally diverse it is, especially in the food area! Tasmania is no different. Within a 10 minute drive I can choose from ANY cultural food I want - and a choice of many places of the same type of food! (Hobart)
you both definitely need to come back to Tassie! There is so much you have yet to experience and even better quality food, drinks and sight seeing to have of our little island :)
Thanks for coming to visit Tassie!! The others are right - there's much more even in Hobart alone, to see. Tahune airwalks, Zoodoo (boring but go anyway) Mount Wellington... Mona is worth it just to see something cracked lmao. At Mona they also have live bands out on the grass in Summer and also Dark Mofo in Winter..m both if which are great. There's much more to do and see in the rest of Tas. Port Arthur... And the ghost tours. It's a tourist destination for a reason!
Hi guys loved your positivity about Australian lifestyle and the country. I'm from tassie but have lived and worked around the world & loving being back in Tasmania. Keep up your clips & please do come back to Tassie or Australia anytime, so much to explore 👍 Lastly Starbucks is not coffee as you said. 😂😂
Really surprised that you don't think the food choices in Melbourne compare to Vegas. Melbourne is known as the gastronomic capital of Australia and is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world. I expect you just didn't explore widely enough. With Hobart's population being a mere 200,000 people, there's no way it could compare to the offerings in Las Vegas. Tasmania punches above it's weight when it comes to food quality - what it does produce is world class. How to say Melbourne - very quickly: Melb'n.
Vegas is flash, flash, flash, and centralised. Melbourne is not flash and the dining scene is not hugely centralised; rather it's arranged around our vibrant High Street culture. Lovely restaurants can be found everywhere, you just have to get out of the city centre and look for them. For visitors I'd suggest Lygon Street in Carlton, Smith and Brunswick Streets in Fitzroy, Errol Street in North Melbourne, and on the south side try along the whole length of Chapel Street from South Yarra down to Balaclava. There's something for everyone... Including fancy, big-ticket places in the city and Southbank of that's what you're after.
$300 a night is cheap. WOW you must be made of money mate. Everything is cheap to you while most of us are struggling to survive. I'm not going to lie, but hearing you say Everything is so cheap really pissed me off and I live in Tazzy. Having said that.. It's good that you had a great time :)
Yeah lol. $300 a night is just something else. NO ONE can afford that here. Only for a "special night out." Our food prices are BAD. I know many americans from different states and they are amazed at how expensive our food, takeaway, cigarettes, rent, power is. It's NOT a cheap country!
Our comments on how "cheap" is relative to what we are used to in the USA. It does not mean it is cheap in the context of Tazzy but in the US, a hotel like that would be double that amount minimum. Eating out in Vegas is very expensive. For us we felt we got a lot more for the money in Australia overall. A burger can be cost close to $30 AUD. When we go back to England now, we find the cost of food "cheap" too. But yes, we had a great time there :)
If you're a Brit or American traveling in Australia it is much cheaper than traveling in the UK or Europe because the Aussie dollar is so weak at the moment. The $300 costs a British traveler about £160. That's cheap - compared to nice hotels in London, New York, Paris, and many other places it's dirt cheap. That doesn't mean that Tassie is a bad place, it means that foreign tourists have a lot of spending power in Aussie dollars. That's good for us, because when people feel rich they spend more.
It's because we don't pronounce "bourne" like it is as a single word, when it's the place Melbourne. It's "Mel - BUN" basically. The variety of food would be because of the population of Hobart. We're isolated in Tas!
Tassie is known for the food beautiful and fresh and clean specially in the summer months local lobster 🦞 curried Scallops Pies so yummy and trying all the Berry Farms and the largest sweetest Cherries 🥰🥰🥰
Hobart is the Capital City of Tasmania. During rush hour, it may take me 20 minutes to cross it. Back in the day, it took 20 minutes to move 200 metres in London or anywhere within the M25. I haven't seen a traffic light for at least 6 months. Pretty much outside of Greater Hobart or Launceston, you won't encounter a traffic light for most of Tasmania. Tassie ain't as small as you think. It may be our equivalent of the Isle of Wiight, but it's closer to the size of the Republic of Ireland.
glad you had a lovely time on our island :) I live in the north and don’t go to Hobart very often, maybe once a year or less often than that. You guys seem really cool, hope you come again one day :)
As immigrant kid in the 70s I met an elderly woman who said she considered herself to be a proud British subject and then said we only speak the Queen's English in this country. How times have changed. I think each of the cities in Australia particularly the Eastern states have a very different personalities. Whilst, Adelaide and Perth are not too dissimilar, noting a lot of expat English now call those cities/states home, maybe it's the rather hot dry Summer's and the rather chilli Winters?
Nice video, it seemed to be a bit of a whisle stop tour. You really need to get out of centre of Hobart to get more foods like north Hobart restaunt strip. I have lived here for over 50 years
Wow!!! Keep going guys!!! I am such a big fan of your channel, and have been keeping up with you especially during the times when both of you were in the preoaration stages for USA migration! I was so encouraged, because it was a desire of mine to migrate to USA as well, which inspired me to pursue Nursing then leave the UK. (I am currently in the Nursing programme, so I thank you soooo much!) But recently, I have been having a inner growing desire to visit AU/Aussie, out of curiosity and also as a possible 2nd place to consider migrating to, from the UK. Then I saw that you posted a video on your 1st trip to AU!!!! Sooooo excited for you guys!!!!💖💖💖💖💖 I dont think you understand how HELPFUL AND INDEPTH your videos are to us viewers (well..... I know about myself!! haha) as I deffo resonate with and share the same mindset as both of you pertaining to opportunities in the US, etc compared to UK. I totally get it. I also want to encourage both of you to ignore the narrow, close-minded and negative ppl who despise or critically analyse your videos, pertaining to your preference of living in the USA versus UK 😂😂😂😂 I am cheering you guys on!!! Keep going!!!! looool!🥳🥳🥳🥳
Aw Thank you :) Your comments have been putting smiles on our faces. We love that you have been following from when we started our journey to here. And it really means alot to know our videos have been helpful. We question why we do this channel at times (mainly me, Sel) and comments like this make it all worth it. Thank you for mentioning about the not so nice comments or negativity. Ant tries to avoid reading comments for this reason. We never quite understand it as we never want to judge other people only give our perspective and hopefully help people that want similar things to us. Funny you mentioned about Aus. We never considered Australia in the past, but we can definitely see its appeal. Very different to the US, but somewhere to consider. We both hope all works out for you, whether you end up once you complete your Nursing program. x
If you end up coming down here to Tasmania there are hospitals in Burnie, Devonport and Launceston. Launceston in the north is currently being updated and made substantially bigger. I grew up in a place called Ulverstone which is half way between Burnie and Devonport, very rural and summer beach focused. West coast also have good medical centres but a bit more isolated and when I lived there it rained 5 days in every week.
Welcome to Australia! I'm from Melbourne (have only just discovered your channel today) and by chance I in Hobart right now. So pleased to hear your positive comments about Hobart. It's such a great place Look forward to seeing other videos you make
Tipping in Australia is not expected. Instead, a service charge will normally be added to your bill. The service charge will usually be declared on the menu if you're in a cafe or restaurant, for example, and is paid directly to the company rather than to an individual member of staff.
@@Mediawatcher2023 in my fifty plus years I’ve lived in Sydney, Canberra and now Melbourne and eat out fairly regularly so it’s not that common. Perhaps in tourist hot spots only.
Loving your videos. In Sydney to get the best variety of ethnic food you need to travel to certain suburbs where the different cultures have settled after migration.
Your accent pronouncing Melbourne is always good. Not expected to speak like a local. It's great to hear your views on our food in Melbourne and Hobart. It makes sense to have the broader range of food in Las Vegas where your population is around 640,000 where the whole population is 189,870 in Hobart and 550,000 for the whole state of Tasmania. The food would go off waiting to be ordered here 😅
Do you guys plan on doing more traveling around the US during the summer? You guys should come check out Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Or coastal Maine. Hope everything is well. Haven’t watched a video in a long time until today. Gotta catch up
Thanks! Great to you have back watching our videos. We definitely plan on visiting more of the US. That region has been on our list. We would really like to do a good week or longer visiting a few places there.
It's really pronounced Melbuurn, not Melb'n, Melbin. The bourne is pronounced as burn with a softer and slightly longer "u" sound and a softer "n" sound which is caused by the "e" at the end.
@@stevenbalekic5683 It's really not in the many parts of Sydney that I frequent. There it's just Mel-bn. We're busy people, we don't have time to pronounce the second syllable when the third (consonant) will do.😄
Thanks! Getting there with the pronunciation. Whether it is Melb'n or Melburn :) Soon we will sound more like locals... maybe lol, maybe not. It was weirdly hard to train our brains to say it the right way.
@@stevenbalekic5683 I teach literacy. There are three syllables in Mel-buur-n. In my experience of Aussies pronouncing the name, we ignore the second, the vowel. But it’s a silly discussion we’re having, and my previous silly response was to make our discussion humorous and conclude it. I missed the mark, sorry. Perhaps understand that there could be other options, even if they’re not your experience, and ask why someone would write something if it wasn’t true for them? Maybe "Where we're from, we say …" would be more accurate and more courteous. Have a good day.
If you go to cities you’ll never see the true heartbeat of 🇦🇺, although culturally cities are the melting points of population it’s the regional town’s & community that are the heartbeat of Australia
U missed out on park beach carlton and bay of fires east coast u shouldve went to the beaches city life in tasmania is fr shopping the best food places are in kingston beach
“…. no complaints… “ and then proceed to complain about the lack of “breadth” of cuisine in Tassie/Melbourne/ Australia compared with Las Vegas. 🤣🤣🤣Really??
LOL forgot we said that. We really did have no complaints and liked Tassie. Great seafood! It was not meant to sound like a complaint more a realisation of what there is here in Vegas. We hadn't appreciated that until recently travelling to other places. Still enjoyed the food that we experienced on our trip.
Yep, if you find the food scene in Melbourne "limited" it's only because you haven't taken time to see what's on offer. Hobart is a small city though in a state that's better suited to those who love the outdoors.
@@Richo732 Australia hasn’t the variety of food and definitely the serving of food is tiny compared to America. And the prices are ten times more expensive in Australia! Australian fresh food has declined in the last 20 years in quality and affordability. Australian meat is one of the best in the world unfortunately we sell all of it off to Middle East china and America. We get old cow meat that they could never sell. Australian meat is like chewing gum and is a chocking hazard, not to mention taste 😝. But yes the processed food in America is poison! Too much corn syrup and all the other additives
Serving sizes are definitely larger in the US, but is that a good thing.......? But if you can't find the cuisine you like in Melbourne, you just aren't looking very hard.....perhaps just blindly wandering around the quasi fast food joints in the CBD.@@biggils8894
lol, We ventured out of CBD every night for food and had a mixture of farm to table, Japanese, Vietnamese and others. Melbourne is not limited at all. What is hard to believe is the exceptional variety that Vegas has. We would have never believed it until we move here. We have every type of Asian cuisine, to polish, creole, through to the mix of all types of desert places ( our current favourite is a Hong Kong mango desert place), plus the usual food (Italian, American, seafood, bbq, Greek, French), fish n chips ( the English way), traditional Mexican (which we have never seen anywhere else other than Mexico), Hawaiian. The list goes on. This is not a knock on Australia just us pointing out that we believe there is much more here.
Click bait again: "NOT what we expected" Aaargh, tourists are being disappointed !!! (Australians most of the time see a glass "half full" instead of "half empty") Far of it. Every time this is stated, they are highly positively overwhelmed. "Thanks for checking out our vlog ..."
I would question that. It is a very general statement and depends on your occupation. Australia has a minimum wage - the USA does not. Some workers are paid poorly which is why tipping is such a big culture there
@@barnowl.USA has a national minimum wage (well two, as "tipped" incomes have an even lower minimum than those not supplemented by tips), and some states have higher than that. California's is way higher than the national national minimums, I believe. Australia only has the national minimum wage, which is among the highest in the world alongside some Nordic nations. Average (taking the mean) wages in USA are higher than Australia, however that is dragged up by the very high higher end wages. Median and lower end wages are considerably higher in Australia, but low end expenses (especially housing, but also groceries) are much higher in Australia than most of USA.
The reason they pronounce Melbourne melben is bcse of the lazy slang. They cut out the vowels. It’s nothing but a bad habit that Australians have and has got worse over time with the generations
I live North of Sydney and my dream is to move to Tasmania..Hope you have a great time.✌😃🦘..Flathead, snapper, gemfish,whiting are good options for fish and chips..As you said not Trevally...
You have to venture out of the city to really experience Tasmania! I have lived here over 20 year's.
There is so much more to see around Hobart than an art gallery, the history around Hobart and the outer areas is amazing!!
Good to know. Hopefully we can spend more time there another time.
I moved to Tassie 5 years ago from the Mainland and its the best move we ever made. Pity you didnt get out of Hobart, there is SO MUCH MORE to Tasmania!! You must return and see the Nth, West & (in my opinion) a lesser extent the East. The West is particularly beautiful.
I moved down to Tassie a year ago & it’s the best move I EVER made & will never return to the mainland to live again!
I live on the Nth West Coast & its spectacular beauty will stun you! From world class food & wineries like Ghost Rock Winery, the historic seaside village of Stanley, famed for its freshly caught seafood, to the breathtaking majesty of Cradle Mountain, there’s SO MUCH MORE to see & do in Tassie than you realise!
There is a gorgeous waterfront there - a huge mountain overlooking a gorgeous city. Beautiful sandstone architecture. The Salamanca Market area , the churches. All within minutes of where you are. ?
You can get virtually any cuisine in Australia. There are over 270 ethnicities here. Most of them are represented food wise. I live in Perth and I'm within ten minutes drive of Indian, Thai, Malaysian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Nepalese, Italian, Greek, French, American, Singaporean, Japanese, Mexican, Croation, Indonesian, British, Aussie, Swedish, Brazilian, Korean, Ethiopian, Spanish, pub food, fine dining,Lebanese, Iranian, Filipino and many many more types of restaurants.

Thanks for visiting Hobart Tasmania Australia 🌏🇦🇺 The view from Mount Wellington of Hobart is spectacular.
99% of these types of videos are about filming yourselves more than where you are. You didn't disappoint!
Our pleasure :)
Hope you come and visit Tas again mate....More people like you guys visit makes Tassie a better place :) Brits are our brothers and sisters
Yes they are!! We love brits! Same sense of humour. We just GET each other 😊 (Africans are the same!! Hilarious people!)
You should go back there and check out the west side of the island. Its untouched, has the 2nd tallest trees in the world and the place is spectacular. It also has the cleanest air in the world outside of Antarctica.
It has the highest waterfall in Tassie too :)
Agreed ! Go on a Gordon River cruise
Yeah but you'll drive for like 8 hours and only see trees and mountains and 2 cars.

Do you guys plan on doing more traveling around the US during the summer? You guys should come check out Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Or coastal Maine. Hope everything is well. Haven’t watched a video in a long time until today. Gotta catch up
Thanks! Great to you have back watching our videos.
We definitely plan on visiting more of the US. That region has been on our list. We would really like to do a good week or longer visiting a few places there.
You nailed pronouncing Melb-n the last time, and you did do an Aussie accent. Cheers.
It's really pronounced Melbuurn, not Melb'n, Melbin. The bourne is pronounced as burn with a softer and slightly longer "u" sound and a softer "n" sound which is caused by the "e" at the end.

Thanks! Getting there with the pronunciation. Whether it is Melb'n or Melburn :) Soon we will sound more like locals... maybe lol, maybe not.
It was weirdly hard to train our brains to say it the right way.
@@stevenbalekic5683 I teach literacy. There are three syllables in Mel-buur-n. In my experience of Aussies pronouncing the name, we ignore the second, the vowel.
But it’s a silly discussion we’re having, and my previous silly response was to make our discussion humorous and conclude it. I missed the mark, sorry.
Perhaps understand that there could be other options, even if they’re not your experience, and ask why someone would write something if it wasn’t true for them? Maybe "Where we're from, we say …" would be more accurate and more courteous.
Have a good day.
Melbourne , in the lazy Aussie accent, is pronounced "Melb'n" - forget the "our" sound.
Thanks! Thats a good description. We are trying to remember to pronounce it that way now.
@@ANTSEL its pronounced as Melburn not born 😀
How you like that Hobart wind
If you go to cities you’ll never see the true heartbeat of 🇦🇺, although culturally cities are the melting points of population it’s the regional town’s & community that are the heartbeat of Australia
Did you see any nature in Tasmania ? Thank you for your video .
Unfortunately not :( We did not have enough time.
@@ANTSEL May be next time
@@ANTSELThe nature in Tasmania is what it's known for!!! It's literally what draws Tourists here! Come back and see! 😊
Great video! What is the name of the hotel? Looking for a hotel in a good area close to water and restaurants/things to do.
Should have gotten flathead from flippers. It's legit.
Tassie is a "niche" State
What? Lol. Whatever do you mean by that?
how can you judge what resteraunts we have after 1 day? there is literally thousands of resteraunts across hobart
We do tip in Melbourne if the service is great
good to know!
Should never be encouraged or expected though. Purely at the customers discretion and given to the person and not included in the bill.
The thing do you get tax for it? In the United States all restaurant workers is taxed due to tipping!
Do you? Local Melbourne folk? Never heard of it. Guess people can choose tipping anywhere if they desire to do so
@@justcallmebrian793 if anyone so chose to tip a person they liked here, it's just a donation to that individual. They just keep it. It's a gift.
U missed out on park beach carlton and bay of fires east coast u shouldve went to the beaches city life in tasmania is fr shopping the best food places are in kingston beach
“…. no complaints… “ and then proceed to complain about the lack of “breadth” of cuisine in Tassie/Melbourne/ Australia compared with Las Vegas. 🤣🤣🤣Really??
LOL forgot we said that. We really did have no complaints and liked Tassie. Great seafood! It was not meant to sound like a complaint more a realisation of what there is here in Vegas. We hadn't appreciated that until recently travelling to other places. Still enjoyed the food that we experienced on our trip.
Yep, if you find the food scene in Melbourne "limited" it's only because you haven't taken time to see what's on offer. Hobart is a small city though in a state that's better suited to those who love the outdoors.
@@Richo732 Australia hasn’t the variety of food and definitely the serving of food is tiny compared to America. And the prices are ten times more expensive in Australia! Australian fresh food has declined in the last 20 years in quality and affordability. Australian meat is one of the best in the world unfortunately we sell all of it off to Middle East china and America. We get old cow meat that they could never sell. Australian meat is like chewing gum and is a chocking hazard, not to mention taste 😝. But yes the processed food in America is poison! Too much corn syrup and all the other additives
Serving sizes are definitely larger in the US, but is that a good thing.......? But if you can't find the cuisine you like in Melbourne, you just aren't looking very hard.....perhaps just blindly wandering around the quasi fast food joints in the CBD.@@biggils8894
lol, We ventured out of CBD every night for food and had a mixture of farm to table, Japanese, Vietnamese and others. Melbourne is not limited at all.
What is hard to believe is the exceptional variety that Vegas has. We would have never believed it until we move here.
We have every type of Asian cuisine, to polish, creole, through to the mix of all types of desert places ( our current favourite is a Hong Kong mango desert place), plus the usual food (Italian, American, seafood, bbq, Greek, French), fish n chips ( the English way), traditional Mexican (which we have never seen anywhere else other than Mexico), Hawaiian. The list goes on.
This is not a knock on Australia just us pointing out that we believe there is much more here.
MEL-BIN.
When saying Melbourne, lose the ou and the r.🙂 Melbne.
traavella best eating fish in the sea
It’s not cheap vs our cost of living and income etc
That is fair. We are speaking in context of prices in Las Vegas.
Trevally.
Trevalla is cod my guys
mel bun
nice eyes Salina
Thanks!

I spose city centric people are city centric
Click bait again: "NOT what we expected" Aaargh, tourists are being disappointed !!! (Australians most of the time see a glass "half full" instead of "half empty") Far of it. Every time this is stated, they are highly positively overwhelmed. "Thanks for checking out our vlog ..."
Rubbish Mona made Tasmania more popular. Fantastic food, seafood, boutique beverages & clean air made Tasmania more popular & you're not in Vegas
MONA is overrated.
You're underrated
Totally agree
😂@@robgiblin4404
Not a fan of Mona AT ALL.
You definitely earn less in Melbourne than America
I would question that. It is a very general statement and depends on your occupation. Australia has a minimum wage - the USA does not. Some workers are paid poorly which is why tipping is such a big culture there
@@barnowl.where did you hear that the USA doesn’t have a minimum wage? It depends on state to state because of the different costs of living
@@barnowl.USA has a national minimum wage (well two, as "tipped" incomes have an even lower minimum than those not supplemented by tips), and some states have higher than that. California's is way higher than the national national minimums, I believe.
Australia only has the national minimum wage, which is among the highest in the world alongside some Nordic nations.
Average (taking the mean) wages in USA are higher than Australia, however that is dragged up by the very high higher end wages. Median and lower end wages are considerably higher in Australia, but low end expenses (especially housing, but also groceries) are much higher in Australia than most of USA.
@@TheGreatLordDufus
Americans also have the health insurance issue reducing their disposable income.
@@barnowl. US min wage is a just over a third of Australia’s minimum wage after converting to US dollars.
The reason they pronounce Melbourne melben is bcse of the lazy slang. They cut out the vowels. It’s nothing but a bad habit that Australians have and has got worse over time with the generations
There is definitely a theme of referring to Australians as lazy with their speech. Lol.
For $300 a night, you can have my house, my car and a Shitty takeaway in Geeveston, just a short drive away.
lol
I live North of Sydney and my dream is to move to Tasmania..Hope you have a great time.✌😃🦘..Flathead, snapper, gemfish,whiting are good options for fish and chips..As you said not Trevally...
