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.
Came back from our Europe (and some of Asia) backpacking trip (1983/4). Was asked so often "When are you going overseas again?". Our annual leave in 1986 with the motorcycle we had bought (and used in Europe) we went to Tassie (via 'The Able Tasman Ferry' from my home town of Melbourne. I had a cousin living in Howrah). Fast forward to 1991 and after hearing that the Devonport Accountant of the corporation I was working for was retiring I walked into my boss's office and asked if I could have his job. After living here for now most of my life it is difficult to live anywhere else.
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!
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 😎
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!
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!
Thank you so much Jane - very kind of you and I love hearing that.... us Aussies are very fortunate to have such amazing landscapes with so much diversity!
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 💕
Hi Lil I really wanted to do the Godren River Cruise. I've seen many pictures over the years and it looks stunning. A shame time just got away from us but we'll make it someday. I've actually been out on one of Pennicot's cruises - those cliffs are epic! Would love to do the Three Capes Walk and also head to a couple more Islands. Obviously we've got no choice but to come back again pretty soon. Cheers
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!
We lived in Tassie for 20 years and loved every minute. We only came back to Qld because my husband got sick and we came back to family. You wont be sorry, Tassie will always be our “ other” home. Its great you have a camper, best and cheapest way to see Tassie, theres always something new to see and do. Enjoy, im envious
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....
I am so jealous. I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive myself for not making it over to WA. Flight costs and risk of border closures were just too much for us to at that point. Despite never living in Melbourne I've been a member all my adult life... what a game it turned out to be. Let's hope 2023 delivers something similar!!
You guys missed out on Freycinet! Great video and I hope you guys revisit us. For next time, there is a beautiful secluded spot in Kingston called Fossil Cove. Worth checking out next time!
Thanks Sasha Lucky for me I've been to Freycinet a couple of times before (there was actually a brief shot at the start) but Nat missed out... Thanks for the tip on Kingston - will check it out next time along with getting Nat to Wine Glass Bay!!
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.
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. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺.
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.
Hi Robin Your description of the Trowutta Arch has me deeply regretting missing out on it. I'm going to make a point of heading there on my next visit. I hope your tips help some other travellers - some good ones in there! Cheers
Oh Tassie! How you tease us. On my bucket list for sure! That was a wonderful expose of what is on offer in Tassie; thank you so much for sharing that. Hope life is treating you both well & a new subscriber here for sure so I can follow your adventures; wonderfully enjoyable!
Wonderfully presented. Magnificent cinemaphotography . Well done. Lived there for 7 years. You really captured the essence of Australia's last, best kept secret. Cheers, dd
Hey Cindy The music is all from a platform called Premiumbeats. If there’s a particular song you like let me know the time it comes on and I’ll find the track name for you
Thank you for the kind words Ronald. I had a brief visit to your state many years ago and loved the scenery. I hope you get the chance to visit Tasmania one day.
Love your presentation of my home state. I left when I was 21 so you've showcased well it & this is incredible nostalgia for me! Inspiring intro guys! NEW SUB x
Please let me know what you think of the others. The Tasmania video is by far my most popular but we've been to some diverse places that haven't received as much love! Thanks again for watching!!
Thanks for your replies. I appreciate it. I will certainly let you know. I think global travel is by far, the very best way of learning about new places & their inhabitants, their culture, history etc;. It also helps to create bridges & any unresolved fears, etc;. Through travel, i have come to learn, that we humans, no matter where we all hail from, are so much more "similar" than we are "different". At the end of the day, we're all human. Peace✌@@LifeDunnDifferently
I have been watching a few Tasmania clips and so far this one has been awesome. Was planning to visit London but now thinking Tasmania. We are from Norfolk Island and certain you would find our island a gem as it is the Second Convict Settlement. It has some great track walks and great weather over the November through April. You have inspired us to visit Tasmania cheaper than London and full charm and beautiful places to visit. Also thinking Motor Home Camper van.
Thank you very much for the kind words. Would love to travel to Norfolk Island, it sounds fantastic. I hope you get to Tassie and love it as much as we do
Easily the very best look at my Home State for the past 20 years. You managed to capture quite a few of the many gorgeous places and beautiful scenery. On your next trip to the North and West please consider showing Mt Roland and Lake Barrington, and take us on a trip to the Gordon River and Sarah Island. And down south there is Port Arthur, of course and the boat trips around the sheer rocky cliffs. If there is time, a day at Bathurst Harbour by plane to Melaleuca from Hobart would be good for your souls. Many thanks.
You’re very kind and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Great tips there - some I’ve enjoyed on previous visits and others I’ve noted down for next time 🙏👍
Great video . Next time you must visit Port Arthur and the sights of the Tasman Peninsula - spectacular scenery. I recommend Pennicott’s boat trips around Tasman Island as well for whale watching, depending on the time of year.
Thank you! Yes, I love Port Arthur area and have been lucky enough to head out on a Pennicott trip down south - it was awesome! I need to take Nat to experience it too though… as well as Freycinet…
Your wife wiill surely enjoy & hopefully love these wee regions. I can say with hand on heart, that I am crazy about Port Arthur, regardless of it's harsh & painful history. We even visited the wee islands where many of the adult & child convicts are buried. The many headstones are amazing bits of historic architecture & you will find too, a number of famous names from back in the day. It's both very moving & amazing to witness! To stand among those who once lived and worked here feels so surreal. May their souls RIP.@@LifeDunnDifferently
Excellent video. And of course I loved video of Dover as we live there. Probably saw you as walk passed the house you stayed in every day. Lived here 10 years now from Qld, and love it.
Just to clear up Cradle mountain lodge is still standing the Cradle forest inn at Moina was the one that burnt down it was approx 30 kms from Cradle Mountain
@@garyhabener2770 Thanks for the update. I have never been to Cradle mountain and have been looking forward to going there for years. That's great news the lodge is still standing. I didn't realise there was a lodge and an Inn. I will really have to go up there soon and experience the place.
I love Tasmania. Went there for the first time in 2021 just because I wanted to travel somewhere - anywhere! - after covid restrictions started to ease. Now I've been 4 times, and can't wait to go back. When I retire in about 10 years, my intention is to relocate from Queensland to Tassie. Wonderful place.
Japan is an amazing country in so many ways! We loved Japan & I hope to visit with my beloved some day soon. There's so much that's amazing, that I would be typing here all day long! haha@@LifeDunnDifferently
It’s a magic place Tasmania, I’ve spent a lot of time there and will be returning again to do the bits where the weather was really bad last time, but this is what makes it awesome not far from one side to the other to get away from the rain. Loved your video, in spite of wanting to know why you go so fast, haha. Cheers Judy qld
Thank you. The unpredictably weather is the only downside to Tasmania... but I guess you don't get such lush green landscapes without a bit of precipitation!!
WOW!!! A new subscriber here & I have to say, you guys captured Tasmania, one of my favourite states, so very well! This so makes me want to head back to Tasmania. I spent some of my best life's days there numerous years ago. IMPHO, Tasmania, pretty much no matter where you head, is simply stunning, beautiful, divine & amazing! It's rich history, combined with gorgeous architecture & some of Australia & the world's most impressive scenery, make it a must visit, if even once in a lifetime. The food scene is also amazing & we dined @ some amazing wee restaurants. Two I personally enjoyed & loved. One was South Asian (Indian) & the other, French. Both were simply awesome! The food amazing & the staff very nice especially @ the French restaurant, where the Chef himself made an appearance & spent much time chatting with us. He even stayed until we left & said goodbye. We were touched & humbled by the overall hospitality & kindness. We've visited numerous times & hubby & I intend to move there someday & use Tassie as a home base, so we can then do some Aussie & global travel. Words cannot do justice, to how incredible Tasmania is & to how much we just love Tasmania!! You've captured Tasmania so well here & your cinematography/filming style, your narration, the beautiful & evocative music & your overall collation of images is nothing short of epic! Well done!!👏👏👏 I should also add, as avid animal lovers, our hearts just melted, when we saw all the adorable wee creatures that you guys captured on camera. So very beautiful. As a part Scandinavian woman, I always see some of my own lands/roots in this beautiful state. We're actually flying back to Scandinavia soon, but I'm thinking when we return next year & after saving some money once again, we'll head back to Tasmania & spend some special time there. Tusen takk for sharing this beauty with your viewers.
Oh wow! That's great to hear. Have you visited Denmark or do you plan to visit? For me, I'm part Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, French, Italian, Spanish, Irish, Scottish, English, South Asian & so much more! lol It's a small world indeed. Interestingly, the food in Denmark is very good, but in the rest of Scandinavia, they're starting to catch up & general food is getting better for the tourist market. We used to eat very traditional dishes & mostly because of the harsh climate. We live by the seasons of the year & this is how life revolves around food production. In Lofoten Islands where my Father's ancestors hail from, they were Fisherman & fished each Winter. They can also fish in Summer, but traditionally, Winter is the main fishing season there. The cod is amazing too. I hope you guys get to Tasmania again & this time, drop by Freycinet National Park & Port Arthur. Your wife would like these places I'm sure. You guys are simply wonderful & I'm a new follower.@@LifeDunnDifferently
You saw a bit for such a short time. Hope you enjoy your next visit. Missing Strahan and its play The ship that never was is just silly when enjoying our state. Safe travels and a fair breeze.
Very nice - some very picturesque captures - interesting review of Maria Island, too. I live up near Narawntapu which is a neat spot for wildlife watching around sunset - you can glide across in a boat or kayak from Port Sorell if so inclined. Happy travels & thanks for sharing.
Gday Bailey October should be a great time to visit. Most of this was filmed between September and December. It was cool but very pleasant, especially when no wind! Hope you have an awesome trip!
Thanks Wayne. We didn’t realise at the time quite how lucky we were… it really was a perfect day! Would be a great place to guide I’m sure. Perhaps a little chilly in winter though!
We lived in Tassie for 20 years, first 6 in Queenstown and rest on a farm at Wilmot. Loved our life there but sadly had to return to Qld and family due to ill health. Tassie will always be our “ other” home. Next time you visit check out Wilmot “ valley of views” and the iconic “quirky letterbox’s”.
Excellent cinematography Ricky. The question is why isn’t Tourism Tasmania knocking on your door son!! The improvement from your first few episodes is tellingly of your talent as a storytelling cinematographer shows. Please get Nat more involved… some voice over or piece to camera! Love the Aussie content 😊 Cheers from Latrobe Valley. 👍🏼❤️🍷🇦🇺📷
Thanks again Bruce! Funnily enough I believe Tourism Tasmania have actually seen it, so maybe oneway... Editing, presenting and filming still needs a bit of work I reckon but getting closer to a standard I'll be happy with. Thanks again for the kind words and suggestions, it's very motivating! Cheers from Chuburna, Mexico ✌️🌵🌴🌮🍺 🇲🇽
Hi mate I respectfully disagree with you. I’ve worked very closely with Tourism Tasmania for many years in roles marketing Australia both across Europe and in North America. I can honestly say Tourism Tasmania do an awesome job of promoting the state. They have less budget and resources than most of the other tourism boards and punch well above their weight. Internationally, destination awareness and interest in visiting is very high (relatively speaking). Domestically, it seems every man and his dog wants to move to Tassie… so I’m not sure what more someone could ask of them?
@@LifeDunnDifferently Tourist Tasmania are lazy no idea to work and develop new strategies and think outside the box. Incorrect data you must be looking at for everyman and dog wanting to move their. Lowest pay rates, diminishing health care, lower education levels, employment (compare Seek stats). Biggest export are Tasmanians between 20 to 30 for employment. Visitor information survey reports little help to determine accurate visitor movement and spend maps. They love organising self congratulating award nights. Unlike New Zealand, there is no forward thinking, dynamics or momentum. Same ol' same ol'. On a better note, Business Tasmania under Department of Growth do provide assistance and follow up but you have to go to the Premier initially.
You are comparing a state tourism board with a national tourism board... and one of the best in the world at that. Different budgets and often different remits. It sounds like most of the issues you have with Tassie are little to do with tourism. I'm not doubting the challenges your state faces. Similar problems are being faced everywhere and not enough is being done about it... but when it comes to Tourism Tasmania, they work hard and with a lot of passion. Destination marketing is very competitive. Success or failure isn't always easy to attribute and whether you like their campaigns or not (I do), TTAS are broadly recognised across the industry for the good work they do. As for the award nights and functions... well, it's one of the reasons I left the industry. It's not unique to Tasmania. You should see what it's like in the US.
20:31 in Spring/Autumn the weather is dismal, mostly fog and mountain mist, summer photos are a betrayal to how dangerous these local tracks are,bring an emergency kit
Fabulous definitely would like to go to Tasmania! Living in Puerto Rico we have a RAINFOREST And many beautiful beaches. We Live on a small island off of Puerto Rico called Vieques 3/4th of the island is a wildlife refuge
Your island sounds like paradise. I'd love to visit PR and when I do, Vieques is going to have to be included in the trip! However, I reckon another trip to Tassie might be on the agenda first!
Tasmania - rajska wyspa. Przyroda jest wyjątkowa - jak z czasów Gondwany. Zachwycają mnie drzewiaste paprocie. W moim kraju ( Polska ) widziałam je jedynie w oranżeriach. Mamy surowy klimat. Śliczny film.
The only negative thing is there is not enough on Launceston it always seems to miss out if you took the time you would find there is a mirad of thing to see in the North of the Island
Cleanest air in the world, cleanest water in the world and friendliest people. What more can you ask for?
Preach! We’re back enjoying it again now
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.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 🙏
Moved to Tassie almost 2 years ago ....Just awesome! And fantastic weather.......(for me)..
haha yeah I don't mind it either. Love the cool, crisp air.
Came back from our Europe (and some of Asia) backpacking trip (1983/4). Was asked so often "When are you going overseas again?".

Greater Hobart plan, and hopefully it'll be one of the most liveable in the world too!
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 😎
Cheers Sean! Don't blame you... and yes, the locals made our time that much better!
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!
Your comment sums up how I feel. I have Tas-mania !! 😍. Absolutely adore the place.. live in Vic and don't get to Tassie often enough. Enjoy
Thanks great to hear. Thanks for the kind words and I hope you have a fantastic trip
i really like your style of presentation its very straight to the point while showing me exactly what i was hoping to see.

Thank you - I’m glad you liked it
Easily the very best look at my Home State for the past 20 years. You managed to capture quite a few of the many gorgeous places and beautiful scenery. On your next trip to the North and West please consider showing Mt Roland and Lake Barrington, and take us on a trip to the Gordon River and Sarah Island. And down south there is Port Arthur, of course and the boat trips around the sheer rocky cliffs. If there is time, a day at Bathurst Harbour by plane to Melaleuca from Hobart would be good for your souls. Many thanks.
You’re very kind and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Great tips there - some I’ve enjoyed on previous visits and others I’ve noted down for next time 🙏👍
@@LifeDunnDifferently And a gentleman to boot !! :)
I should visit Australia soon. Thank you for this presentation. 🤗
🙏🙏
Great video . Next time you must visit Port Arthur and the sights of the Tasman Peninsula - spectacular scenery. I recommend Pennicott’s boat trips around Tasman Island as well for whale watching, depending on the time of year.
Thank you! Yes, I love Port Arthur area and have been lucky enough to head out on a Pennicott trip down south - it was awesome! I need to take Nat to experience it too though… as well as Freycinet…
Your wife wiill surely enjoy & hopefully love these wee regions. I can say with hand on heart, that I am crazy about Port Arthur, regardless of it's harsh & painful history. We even visited the wee islands where many of the adult & child convicts are buried. The many headstones are amazing bits of historic architecture & you will find too, a number of famous names from back in the day. It's both very moving & amazing to witness! To stand among those who once lived and worked here feels so surreal. May their souls RIP.@@LifeDunnDifferently
Love The Dees. Great to see them finally win the premiership after so long. My heart beats true.🔴🔵
Lots of comments on this video but I’ve been disappointed more don’t mention the mighty Dees 🤣😭
We need to recapture some of that form now! 🔴🔵
Excellent video. And of course I loved video of Dover as we live there. Probably saw you as walk passed the house you stayed in every day. Lived here 10 years now from Qld, and love it.
Thanks Diana - as you can no doubt tell, we loved Dover! Great place to call home.
a great place to live and so glad i moved here in 2019 the air is so clean ,
I’m sure you’re the envy of many. A great place to call home
Where are you originally from? Are you a mainlander or a foreign immigrant?
@@SanctusPaulus1962 no simple answer to that but I call Gold Coast home
Amazing place!! I've never imagined so much beauty!! Thank you so much☺
Thanks so much. It is an amazing place
Wow..Beautiful Tasmania!
Thank you! 😊
loved your video! you captured some of the beauty so well.im glad you got to cradle mountain! the lodge up there burned down a few days ago 😔
I saw that on the news , so sad 😞
www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-10/cradle-forest-inn-destroyed-by-fire/101052102
I wasn't familiar with the property but sad to hear.
Just to clear up Cradle mountain lodge is still standing the Cradle forest inn at Moina was the one that burnt down it was approx 30 kms from Cradle Mountain
@@garyhabener2770 Thanks for the update. I have never been to Cradle mountain and have been looking forward to going there for years. That's great news the lodge is still standing. I didn't realise there was a lodge and an Inn. I will really have to go up there soon and experience the place.
I love Tasmania. Went there for the first time in 2021 just because I wanted to travel somewhere - anywhere! - after covid restrictions started to ease. Now I've been 4 times, and can't wait to go back. When I retire in about 10 years, my intention is to relocate from Queensland to Tassie. Wonderful place.
It's contagious!!!
👍👍Beautiful !Thank you so much from Japan 💕😍
Glad you enjoyed it… and I can’t wait to come to Japan next year!
Japan is an amazing country in so many ways! We loved Japan & I hope to visit with my beloved some day soon. There's so much that's amazing, that I would be typing here all day long! haha@@LifeDunnDifferently
Great video guys, I'm a local Tasmanian and I'm impressed with this clip. Great work
Cheers Pete. Heading back there soon and very excited.
It’s a magic place Tasmania, I’ve spent a lot of time there and will be returning again to do the bits where the weather was really bad last time, but this is what makes it awesome not far from one side to the other to get away from the rain. Loved your video, in spite of wanting to know why you go so fast, haha. Cheers Judy qld
Thank you. The unpredictably weather is the only downside to Tasmania... but I guess you don't get such lush green landscapes without a bit of precipitation!!
Excellent overview for those who can't make the trip. Well done, and keep up the good work.
Thank you Roger, much appreciated.
WOW!!! A new subscriber here & I have to say, you guys captured Tasmania, one of my favourite states, so very well!
This so makes me want to head back to Tasmania. I spent some of my best life's days there numerous years ago.
IMPHO, Tasmania, pretty much no matter where you head, is simply stunning, beautiful, divine & amazing! It's rich history, combined with gorgeous architecture & some of Australia & the world's most impressive scenery, make it a must visit, if even once in a lifetime.
The food scene is also amazing & we dined @ some amazing wee restaurants. Two I personally enjoyed & loved. One was South Asian (Indian) & the other, French. Both were simply awesome! The food amazing & the staff very nice especially @ the French restaurant, where the Chef himself made an appearance & spent much time chatting with us. He even stayed until we left & said goodbye. We were touched & humbled by the overall hospitality & kindness.
We've visited numerous times & hubby & I intend to move there someday & use Tassie as a home base, so we can then do some Aussie & global travel. Words cannot do justice, to how incredible Tasmania is & to how much we just love Tasmania!!
You've captured Tasmania so well here & your cinematography/filming style, your narration, the beautiful & evocative music & your overall collation of images is nothing short of epic! Well done!!👏👏👏
I should also add, as avid animal lovers, our hearts just melted, when we saw all the adorable wee creatures that you guys captured on camera. So very beautiful.
As a part Scandinavian woman, I always see some of my own lands/roots in this beautiful state.
We're actually flying back to Scandinavia soon, but I'm thinking when we return next year & after saving some money once again, we'll head back to Tasmania & spend some special time there.
Tusen takk for sharing this beauty with your viewers.
Thanks a lot for your kind words and sharing your passion for Tassie. Safe travels!!
I'm half Danish too btw! 😁🇩🇰
Oh wow! That's great to hear. Have you visited Denmark or do you plan to visit? For me, I'm part Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, French, Italian, Spanish, Irish, Scottish, English, South Asian & so much more! lol It's a small world indeed. Interestingly, the food in Denmark is very good, but in the rest of Scandinavia, they're starting to catch up & general food is getting better for the tourist market. We used to eat very traditional dishes & mostly because of the harsh climate. We live by the seasons of the year & this is how life revolves around food production. In Lofoten Islands where my Father's ancestors hail from, they were Fisherman & fished each Winter. They can also fish in Summer, but traditionally, Winter is the main fishing season there. The cod is amazing too. I hope you guys get to Tasmania again & this time, drop by Freycinet National Park & Port Arthur. Your wife would like these places I'm sure. You guys are simply wonderful & I'm a new follower.@@LifeDunnDifferently
👍@@LifeDunnDifferently
Excellent video, loved it, many thanks
Wow so beautiful
Epic! Will be visiting in March from US. Now even more excited.
Enjoy Cathy!!
I went to Tassie early 1970’s, really nice island. Your video brought back happy memories. Hope to return soon.
That's nice to hear. Good luck getting back there.
Thanks for visiting Cambodia. hope everything treat u well and hope to u come again. ❤
Thanks - I’m sure I’ll come back one day
Tasmania has so many beautiful places
sure does. can't wait to go back!
Great that you added a map in there which helped to see where you were. Going next year, so thanks for the great coverage.
No worries - hope you have a great trip
You saw a bit for such a short time. Hope you enjoy your next visit. Missing Strahan and its play The ship that never was is just silly when enjoying our state. Safe travels and a fair breeze.
Next time hopefully - thanks for the suggestion!
Very nice - some very picturesque captures - interesting review of Maria Island, too. I live up near Narawntapu which is a neat spot for wildlife watching around sunset - you can glide across in a boat or kayak from Port Sorell if so inclined. Happy travels & thanks for sharing.
Sounds idyllic!
Great video! We're heading there this October from the U.S. What month were you there? Trying to plan for that crazy weather!
Gday Bailey
October should be a great time to visit. Most of this was filmed between September and December. It was cool but very pleasant, especially when no wind!
Hope you have an awesome trip!
Good job you two, i used to guide there. You guys lucked out in Cradle Mtn! Never seen it so clear!
Thanks Wayne. We didn’t realise at the time quite how lucky we were… it really was a perfect day! Would be a great place to guide I’m sure. Perhaps a little chilly in winter though!
Fantastic video. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us.
Cheers Raquel. My pleasure!
Epic vid man, really enjoyable and high quality 🤙
Hey cheers Dale. Appreciate it mate
Great content. Loved this
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful journey with you. I have a friend who lives in Tasmania. No wonder he did not return to Northern Ontario, Canada.
Thank you. I have a soft spot for Ontario having lived there for over a year… but it’s hard to compete with the beauty of Tasmania
Tasmania is stunning !
We lived in Tassie for 20 years, first 6 in Queenstown and rest on a farm at Wilmot. Loved our life there but sadly had to return to Qld and family due to ill health. Tassie will always be our “ other” home. Next time you visit check out Wilmot “ valley of views” and the iconic “quirky letterbox’s”.
Thanks for the tips. I'll keep them in mind!
Encontre este canal hoy 6 de diciembre 2023. Me gusta mucho. Exito!! Me suscribi al canal.
Thank you!
feel so chilling after watch video. nice!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love it nice view 😊❤
Excellent cinematography Ricky. The question is why isn’t Tourism Tasmania knocking on your door son!! The improvement from your first few episodes is tellingly of your talent as a storytelling cinematographer shows. Please get Nat more involved… some voice over or piece to camera!
Love the Aussie content 😊
Cheers from Latrobe Valley. 👍🏼❤️🍷🇦🇺📷
Thanks again Bruce!
Funnily enough I believe Tourism Tasmania have actually seen it, so maybe oneway... Editing, presenting and filming still needs a bit of work I reckon but getting closer to a standard I'll be happy with.
Thanks again for the kind words and suggestions, it's very motivating!
Cheers from Chuburna, Mexico ✌️🌵🌴🌮🍺 🇲🇽
Tourism Tasmania are lazy.
Same with Tourism Council of Tasmania..lazy
Hi mate
I respectfully disagree with you.
I’ve worked very closely with Tourism Tasmania for many years in roles marketing Australia both across Europe and in North America.
I can honestly say Tourism Tasmania do an awesome job of promoting the state. They have less budget and resources than most of the other tourism boards and punch well above their weight.
Internationally, destination awareness and interest in visiting is very high (relatively speaking).
Domestically, it seems every man and his dog wants to move to Tassie… so I’m not sure what more someone could ask of them?
@@LifeDunnDifferently Tourist Tasmania are lazy no idea to work and develop new strategies and think outside the box. Incorrect data you must be looking at for everyman and dog wanting to move their. Lowest pay rates, diminishing health care, lower education levels, employment (compare Seek stats). Biggest export are Tasmanians between 20 to 30 for employment. Visitor information survey reports little help to determine accurate visitor movement and spend maps. They love organising self congratulating award nights.
Unlike New Zealand, there is no forward thinking, dynamics or momentum. Same ol' same ol'.
On a better note, Business Tasmania under Department of Growth do provide assistance and follow up but you have to go to the Premier initially.
You are comparing a state tourism board with a national tourism board... and one of the best in the world at that. Different budgets and often different remits.
It sounds like most of the issues you have with Tassie are little to do with tourism. I'm not doubting the challenges your state faces. Similar problems are being faced everywhere and not enough is being done about it... but when it comes to Tourism Tasmania, they work hard and with a lot of passion.
Destination marketing is very competitive. Success or failure isn't always easy to attribute and whether you like their campaigns or not (I do), TTAS are broadly recognised across the industry for the good work they do.
As for the award nights and functions... well, it's one of the reasons I left the industry. It's not unique to Tasmania. You should see what it's like in the US.
Sounds like a beautiful land . full of life. Full of beauty and nature. Let me know if you find any indigenous people.
There are some good indigenous led tourism experiences in Tasmania. Hopefully I'll film some next time.
Good catch of the hexagonal Sun Simulator at 20.00
Nice! I gotta visit it one day!
Cheers mate
Great video Ricky and Nat! Quality video as always! Wardie
Thanks Wardie. Appreciate it mate
20:31 in Spring/Autumn the weather is dismal, mostly fog and mountain mist, summer photos are a betrayal to how dangerous these local tracks are,bring an emergency kit
They can be but not always. We've just spend April - August back in Tasmania and had no issues with dangerous tracks.
Brilliant 👏 video well done
Cheers Craig
No worries
wowwwww Ricki & Nat . Super awesome work.
Hey thanks a lot mate!
Great job man!
Thanks legend!
Assalamualaikum kak cantik sekali pemandangan nya kak
🙏👍
Fabulous definitely would like to go to Tasmania! Living in Puerto Rico we have a RAINFOREST And many beautiful beaches. We Live on a small island off of Puerto Rico called Vieques 3/4th of the island is a wildlife refuge
Your island sounds like paradise. I'd love to visit PR and when I do, Vieques is going to have to be included in the trip!
However, I reckon another trip to Tassie might be on the agenda first!
Beautiful Tassie...my son study in UTAS..i hope one day i will go there😍
I hope you do too Mely
Fantastico Tasmania
Tasmania - rajska wyspa. Przyroda jest wyjątkowa - jak z czasów Gondwany. Zachwycają mnie drzewiaste paprocie. W moim kraju ( Polska ) widziałam je jedynie w oranżeriach. Mamy surowy klimat. Śliczny film.
Thank you very much
Lawnmowers! Like fuzzy sheep! They’re huge.😺🙌🏾
Haha sure are
Nice vlog man, great footage
Thank you 🙏
Grossed out “ where do you think you stay out?❤
Your cinematography is amazing! Do you work in the industry?
Thank you very much. I've been passively working in the industry but have a few bits of professional work coming out soon.
truly enjoyed this :)
Great to hear. Thank you
Here we go again 🥳🥳 love from india 😇
Cheers Ahir
I am starting to fall in love with Tasmania. Pristine everywhere. Love from the Philippines. ❤️
Thank you mate
Did you visit Stonor and Ouse? Oh and if you are Whiskey fan go to Scottland or Ireland.
We did not... but I've enjoyed plenty of Tassie whiskey over the years!
Wonderful amazing video about Tasmania where I am living
Thank you very much. A great place to call home 😁
That was my uncles Air BnB you stayed at in Burnie!!! Haha
Haha how random! It’s a nice spot eh
Great video!!!
Thank you!!
Nice job thanks
Cheers!
The only negative thing is there is not enough on Launceston it always seems to miss out if you took the time you would find there is a mirad of thing to see in the North of the Island
Fair enough Eve. We would have liked more time in Launceston and thoroughly enjoyed the bit we did have there
Which circuit did ya do in Maria island and which would you recommend with kids of age 6 and 7
Sorry mate I’m not the right person to give advise on suitability for kids.
when did you film? first you mention winter then december. i am trying to figure out clothes to bring. thanks
Hi!
From memory we arrived end of August in Hobart and finished our time early-mid December. Pack something warm whenever you’re going!! Have fun :)
awesome xx
wonderfull
🙏
I'm timorense people,I like so mcht go tu AUSTRALIA ❤❤
