Cleanest air in the world, cleanest water in the world and friendliest people. What more can you ask for?

Moved to Tassie almost 2 years ago ....Just awesome! And fantastic me)..

Love this video. I'm from the UK and have just spent 9 weeks in Tas and mainland Oz. this has brought back so many great memories, thank you for sharing.

[heritagehorsedrawncarriage]

Thanks for the great video. Hobart is the prettiest capital city and we think you agree. Also great you featured our home - the Huon Valley and a quick shot of us in Hobart!

[seanbarry]

Great summary. You sum up the island well. There are much worse places to live, I can assure you. You don't look back. The island is wonderful and everyone has time for a chat. I'm staying 😎

[lilvalentine]

This is a great film of Tassie. Loving the drone shots. You would love the Gordon River cruise at Stahan. Also the Tasman peninsular has spectacular coast line and pennicot cruises can take you out along the coast to see dolfins, seals, whales and sea caves both on the peninsula and Bruny island. Three capes walk and fortesque bay are just beautiful.
Also a note to anyone tempted to pat the very cute wombats on Maria Island, BEWARE they can be vicious so no touching allowed. Their looks a deceiving 😄 Happy and safe travels 💕

[Johtho]

i really like your style of presentation its very straight to the point while showing me exactly what i was hoping to see.

[paulae]

Thank you for this video. We will be returning to Hobart for the 3rd time, but this time bringing the car. Have been searching for a video highlighting the beauties and tourist attractions of other Tasmanian towns. Perfect video. Love Tasmania and you have represented it so wonderfully!

[natsumi.e]

It's amazing!! I believe that this is going be a great guide for me to discover the destination in Tasmania because I am going to go to Tasmania next year with WH visa. Thank you for sharing your beautiful adventure with us and I will definitely repeat this video to make myself feel happy by seeing cute wombats!!

[joolzmac]

Thank you, that’s a very nice look at Tasmania. We’re heading there in September for 3 weeks with our camper. It will be our third trip since 2012. I keep saying ‘there is a picture postcard view around every corner’ and your vlog proved that. Happy travels, guys!

[tasman]

Thanks ricky and nat... much appreciated from Montreal. Born in Tassie, (smithton..just down hwy from stanley), there until 25 or so and haven't been home since 2001 so long overdue. This helped....

[pandasandmoore]

You've "Dunn" it again Ricki and Nat. A spectacular portrayal of one part of our beautiful country we're fortunate to call home. Fantastic cinematography, narration and capture of Tasmania. My husband and I thoroughly enjoy your videos and think they are the best we've seen, and we've seen a lot!

[zioneden]

This video is so beautiful. I loved watching it! Thanks for sharing.

Shame you didn't do Trowutta Arch while up at Stanley. I'd lived in Tassie for years and never been there until close to moving interstate, I drew up a bucket list of places yet to see and Trowutta Arch really stole the show for me. A lovely rainforest walk, but at the end, it descends into a sinkhole from a collapsed cave, then through the namesake arch into a beautiful yet somewhat scary second sinkhole far deeper than the first where a pool of black tannin-stained water fills the entrance to a flooded shaft into the earth. It had such a sense of awe to it and was just a short drive from Stanley/Smithton. The Tarkine drive that its part of also has some incredible walks and little roadside scenic spots like the Julius River Walk, Lake Chissholm (another far larger flooded sinkhole), the Sumac Lookout and more.

Would also have highly recommended the Lake Gordon/Pedder area too. Very similar to the landscape at Lake Plimsoll, super wild and rugged with more amazing little walks, vantage points and of course, the Gordon Dam.

In Launny, I'd have also highly recommended the Tamar Wetlands walk. Its long-ish but easily done in an hour or so at a leisurely stroll. Great visitor info centre, birdwatching points, history and of course views of a massive ship graveyard in the marshes where engineers a century ago tried to reshape the river by sinking old ships in the less navigable of the two channels that pass Tamar Island. The island has a little hill atop it which has great views and is planted with old exotic trees from when it was a popular picnic spot for leisure seekers in the Victorian era who's take the short boat ride out the city down river to it. At the Cataract Gorge, I'd also have recommended the Duck Reach Walk which is about an hour circuit from the First Basin itself. Its super scenic and takes you through to the old hydroelectric power station that's currently a little museum (all free entry). Fascinating history really. I think the final Launny pick I'd add would have been the Inveresk Precinct. Its the home of Tassie AFL (York Park Stadium), but also home to the UTAS Inveresk Campus, the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery (Australia's largest regional museum which loads of Launny and Tasmanian history and railway relics from when Launny was the heart of the state's rail network) and of course the Launceston Tramway Museum which runs a handful of surviving trams from the old city trams network around the precinct (and it's like gold coin entry). The trams were real works of art, all artisan crafted in Launceston 100 years ago from local hardwoods and native timbers (the council at the time considered them like status symbols almost). Launny is a great place to explore on foot really and the hilly nature means there's great views everywhere.

As a Tasmanian boy, being able to fly to Perth to see the win, OMG, supporting for 35 years. It IS a grand old flag.

[maddiletikodada]

Super video sir. Thanks for sharing such a great video. You covered all important towns in tasmania.👌👌👌👍👍👍

[ronaldjackson]

Wonderful! You have a great sensibility in what you observe and say! I am a fan from North Carolina, and now Tasmania is on my list!

[annebott]

Love The Dees. Great to see them finally win the premiership after so long. My heart beats true.🔴🔵

[brittney]

Fantastic video.
Just got back from Hobart one week ago and so incredibly fresh in my mind. I cannot wait to see more of Tasmania and you’ve given me some great tips on where to go & what to do.

You have NO idea how much I enjoyed this, and I'm from Tasmania! Wonderful work, thank you for posting. I'm in Sydney now, so this was a wonderful look back.
