For all of the Tasmanians who don’t know what the word “diagonal” means, it’s not the same as perpendicular. A trip from Devonport to Hobart is not diagonal, it’s predominantly perpendicular. A diagonal car trip would be from Cape Grim to Port Arthur and that trip takes more than 6 hours. I know it’s a difficult concept, but I have faith you can figure it out.
For all the non-Tasmanians who don't know what perpendicular means, you cannot have one "line" that is perpendicular, it has to be in reference to another "line".
@@fixxxer7030 Perpendicular to the lines of longitude, dare I suggest?
When I was in Tasmania for sapphire prospecting it was cheap except for fuel and meat.
I hope acreage is still cheap enough to get around St.Helens because I think I will start a good number of businesses in that area which would help with the unemployment rate there.
I recently moved from NYC to southern Tasmania. Bought a few hundred acres, built a home and have become a complete recluse. If I had my way I would let the road grow over so the only way in is by helicopter. The ocean view and the wilderness is simply stunning. I will never leave short of a box. Yes, the people are a bit special, but for me, in a nice way.
All I can say as a Tasmanian who has lived all over Australia in cities, regional towns, farms, bush and the outback - life is what you make it wherever you are. All places have good and bad but its up to us how we adapt/survive/thrive in new places. Some people are also just naturally more adaptable. My husband is more adaptable than me. I'm introverted so it often takes me a bit longer to settle in places. He is outgoing, helpful, community minded etc. So he settled no worries into Tassie (he's from country NSW), always helping out neighbours, elderly people etc. In response, they welcome him into their lives. We're always being left goodies on our doorstep from neighbours. What you give out is what you get back. My advice to anyone moving to Tasmania (or anywhere) is to join community groups, volunteer at local events, get to know the locals, embrace your new town/life. My husband says he'll never move back to the mainland even if i wanted to (I dont). Calls himself a Tasmanian now. It is a great, lil island with so much to offer
Oh and yes its a bit odd in Penguin having a rail line go through it, but thats part of the history of the region and locals have embraced this quirky feature. Just depends how you look at things, I guess! 😊 Certainly would cost an absolute fortune of money we don't have and probably a logistical nightmare relocating the train line into the hills behind the town, even if it was a bit more aesthetic
I've lived in Tas for several years having moved from the Mainland and time in UK. You need to be flexible and adaptable. Easier if retired. Also the weather is ok if you don't like heat of the Mainland. Prices have gone up but still cheap compared to Mainland.
Thanks for sharing,
I have done the move south from the mainland too...(just before covid)
I had to go back to the mainland for surgery...
Then came back down...
Yes there can be problems but when I went back north I just couldnt wait to come back down...( And it kept getting delayed. By many months)
I'm just so greatful to be back in Northern tassie 😁.
I lived for 9 months around Hobart and the Huon Valley. I loved it very much. I could see myself living permanently there. My concerns are work and rentals. I loved how honest you spook about the pros and cons of moving to Tasmania. Very insightful. Thank you.
My partner and I are looking to move to the Launceston area in 2026 after we’ve saved a good chunk of money.
We’re both teachers and love the state as NSW dwellers. My partner grew up in Scotland so Tasmania really made her feel at home
Watching your video and how it ended with that positive swing regarding community and relationships really felt great
There’s always a silver lining!
Moving is never an easy process, sometimes it takes a while, but it can be rewarding when you get through the tough parts
Enjoyed this lots of accuracy, a little more exploring yet though... If travel brings you through the Midlands... Give me a shout out ... Cuppa for free
I'm a Tasmanian who had recently moved to north Queensland. I could do an overdub of your video and replace every reference to Tasmania with Queensland.
I'm not happy here, I'm moving home soon. I suggest that you do the same.
I’m sorry you had that experience. As I said in the video, I eventually found the normal and nice people rather than just the psychos, but that’s because I stuck it out. I’ve moved many times as a kid, including interstate, and it can be extremely difficult to be the outsider in a community where trust is low.
Hopefully the move back is beneficial.
Which city in north qld? The crime there is out of control
Well she has the right to share her experience and we all find it interesting and every person has different views and experiences so you don't have to comment by telling her to go home just because you can't take a piece of truth , take your nasty attitude with you when you do leave .
@@fair98fair I can tell you that Townsville has a terrible juvenile crime rate which was getting so badly out of control but think they are cracking down heavy on it now . Most cities anywhere have crime rates sadly , gone are the days when I remember as a kid Noone ever really had to worry about locking up their homes just to dash to the store nor cars .
@jennifermclachlan4369 you certainly got out of the wrong side of bed this morning, didn't you. I wasn't criticising her, or abusing her, but sympathising with her predicament.
I’m looking at moving to Tassie from nsw (near Byron bay)…I’m looking forward to stepping back in time, slowing down from the rat race to hike,boating,hunting & seeing less traffic & people…& be in colder weather.
Lots of downsides living in Tazzie I know so please be careful those with high hopes when moving here . Climates lovely if you want to escape hot climate and seasons are lovely . Be careful with jobs and rentals please that's the catch .
Hi, it was really good hearing your thoughts. Thanks for your post. I’m desperate to return to Tas after having 2021 there. I’m living in Bris now. I’m so over the terrible traffic, the escalating crime and the heat in summer. I just relax whenever I’m in TAS, and feel the tensions melt away. Unfortunately Im not in TAS very often. North west is where I feel most comfortable. Cheers 🤗
There’s room to breathe 🍃
Do it asap, the whole world will discover Tassie soon - there is nowhere else in the world right now as safe and free, open and clean! 🤗👍
Thanks for this refreshingly honest and true account of your experiences. I absolutely love the island state after living there for 2 years but it is too expensive for family to visit from the mainland. Love your videos!
Thanks for this very helpful commentary on Tassy life for a new immigrant.
Others have told me about lack of work and the underfunded healthcare system.
Shocked tho by some of your experiences around renting and the local Mafia families.
I am thinking about moving so will look forward to any updates.......great vid!
Please don't move here. We don't want you. Locals are living on the streets because they can't find any affordable housing. People like you are not helping anyone by moving here
That's her personal experience, not indicative of Tasmanian Society in general! Be sceptical, this person is obviously a loner! 😏
All her "cons" were experiences you could have anywhere and to be honest, you would find far more criminals in Melb and Syd. She must attract bad personality types. Reflection on her personality.
OMG 7 minutes in and you have changed my mind! Not going to move there. Not what I was hoping for sadly. Will stay here in the heat 😞Thanks for speaking candidly about the cons.
Like every other Staes cons. 🤷🏻♂️ I lived in every State, and they’re all the same. Singling out Tasmania, is bad form.
It’s not bad form, it’s just dispelling the myths that Tasmania is different. Too many people only talk about the good aspects because otherwise they get the abuse that you can see in the comments of this video. It’s a lie perpetuated by fear.
So negative , did you have anything nice to say .
Greetings from Ohio. I really enjoyed your video and learning about Tasi. I would like to hear more of your insights about Tasi. Companies in the US can be difficult but perhaps not to the level about which you were speaking. But they vary greatly here. In the US the southern and western parts are hot and I'm like you in that I thrive in colder weather like here in Ohio, which is cold but does have 4 distinct seasons with little if any extreme heat. Places like Denmark, WA seem like nice little towns but they likely lack things to do and good health care. There are pros and cons to most places.
Tasmania is very like the climate in Oregon.but the mountains are not as high
I love your briefing about tasmania. Your video is very natural and genuine. I’m planning to migrate to tasmania.
All the best with your plans!
me too do you know people there? I don't but going for the nature and the cooler climes
@@TasmanianWanderlust Hi
can you suggest me any recruitment agencies available in Tasmania. Our visa requires us to connect with recruitment agencies.
Highly appreciate if you can help me .
Born in Adelaide, I moved here in November 1995. Tassie may be cold in the winter but the summers are great (November, December and January are the best months) and the weather overall is good all year round especially in the NW. I see you are in Burnie. I live in Ulverstone and yes the rail line runs through the town but I am fine with trains, there are only 4 per weekday and 2 per weekend day.
I have just found this channel but ironically... I was subscribed to your old channel. Have always wondered what happened. I recall you decided to convert. I always wanted to ask.. did something happen to change your mind? Thank you! So glad to have found you. BTW I love Tasi.
Thanks 🙂 you’re welcome to just enjoy the Tasmania channel, which is pretty much just about lifestyle, but I have another channel under my name @LouisaWatt which is for the thoughts. I’m very content with my conversion and have graduated with my bachelor degree so the content is a combination of the two.
When I moved to Tasmania I joined the rotary club. Very nice people
Thank you for investing your time in giving us all your personal insights. Would love to know more about the transition from the mainland as we too are contemplating the move. I'm assuming you're up north and would love to know how you would characterise each of the main 'cities' up there? I'm from northern NSW (near the QLD border) so understand your feelings about the climate. How have you found the winter season?
Great questions, I should do a video on it 😊
The short answer is that winters near the north and east coasts are quite mild, if blustery. South and inland (Hobart and Launceston) are much colder.
@@TasmanianWanderlust Please do! Cheers.
Hi..my wife and I currently live in Port Douglas FNQ,but are considering a relocation to Launceston..
My wife is in aged care and we would be renting.
My question is,would the aged care wage be comparable to the $30 an hour she currently gets?
Are there quite few aged care homes in the northern areas of Tasmania?
Appreciate your time and Thankyou for your insightful video
I have 2 questions:
1. If you volunteer in Tasmania to add to your reference profile so you can get an apartment, then where do you live while volunteering before getting the apartment ?
2. what is the average rent for a one bedroom apartment in Hobart and also the cheapest town in Tasmania whichever it may be. Thanks in advance love.
Thanks for the questions:
1. Yeah… that’s kind of the point I was making about how difficult it is to move here sometimes 😬 most people can’t afford to rent an Airbnb while volunteering so they can find a job and then find a rental. It’s an almost impossible task. That’s just one reason I found Tasmania frustrating.
2. I don’t have extensive knowledge of the rental market of Hobart, you would probably be better searching the real estate sites. From my searches, it’s looks like $1000 a week is the average rent in the centre of Hobart. Which town is cheapest? Depends what you’re looking for or how you define “town”, but I’d say Queenstown is the most affordable.
@@TasmanianWanderlust Thanks. I appreciate your reply.
What you just described applies everywhere.
I agree Tasmania isn't perfect but bad employers and landlords are everywhere.
Yes I would like to know more about what it's like to live there.
House prices, entertainment, shopping ect.
Thank you for your videos, kat xxx
Thanks for the ideas 🙂
@TasmanianWanderlust you're so welcome beautiful sweetheart, I am really interested in Bernie. Thank you so much for your kind reply 🙏💕✨️
Wow, thanks for a very insightful video. We're weighing up pros and cons of moving from Sydney to Northern Tassie or Hobart next summer for a year or so. We're a bit opposite to you in that we don't miss family (moved here from Europe 3 years ago and haven't seen anyone since). We make do with each other, don't really have friends, meet other people maybe once a quarter. I would work remotely for my Sydney employer and my partner would have a government contract (we would only move for that). We come from a cold part of Europe, but love the heat and since our arrival in Sydney only ever been to Queensland (5 times, 4 of which to TNQ)... but we also love local wildlife, wombats, penguins, seals, so we feel we would make do for a year or so. My work would require me to come back to Sydney anyway after that... while some of your experiences are super scary and I'm so sorry to hear that, I'm glad that you enjoy your life there. It makes us want to consider the move if it comes to it...
I don’t think you’ll regret exploring the island. It sounds like you’re ideal candidates 🙂
@@TasmanianWanderlust great, thank you for some extra validation. I'll look at your past videos and would also appreciate updates on the practicalities of living there :) take care!
DON'T...very claustrophobic State.
Yes please more content like this thanks
Hey, I am moving to Tas (NW) next month for work and I also have a dog! Do you have any special tips for dog owners looking for rentals / share accom that are Tas specific? I don't have many needs, just want a secure home for us both :)
Aha alas someone who's moved because of the heat of the Mainland I agree that's my reason for wanting to move to Tas first is the cold I LOVE COLD weather period all other BS I can work round as long as I have cold especially cold wind that extra chill factor Qld can take your sunshine and shove it Thanks for this content it's a GREAT help especially because I've never been to Tas yet
If you love cold wind, you’re in for a treat 😁
I live in Hobart and have family in Sydney. We chat regularly. All I have heard from them over this summer is how hot and humid it is and how they can't sleep at night for the heat. I've never known them complain about the heat and humidity like they have this year. I, on the other hand, send them photos of glorious Hobart bathed in sunshine while I enjoy very comfortable early 20s summer weather. They all all moving here this year or next. I love the cold too and absolutely love the Tasmanian weather.
@@carokat1111 I’m from Melbourne and every time I go to Hobart (and other places around Tassie), I have a ball. I know there’s this supposed “tension” between mainlanders and Tasmanians, but I’ve never noticed it. I feel like when I go to Tassie, I’m walking into someone else’s house so I’m always respectful and I get respect back. Best coffee outside of Melbourne I’ve ever tasted was actually in Hobart. 🤗 quick question, what is the summer like with the heat? Is it dry heat or is it humid?
@@v.b6028 Mostly dry heat. It's very comfortable. Rare to get humidity.
@@v.b6028 Thank you - I think that is a very accurate representation of life down here. Certainly that's how I experience things..
I am so happy that things have worked out for you. Hope to see you again one day.
Are you still in Tassie?
@@TasmanianWanderlust Yes same place and loving it. Come by if you can.
How would you deem Tasmania as a retirement option from say 55 years onwards? My wife’s family live in Sydney and Melbourne and figure it would be close and cheap to travel by plane as opposed to living in nz?
It’s certainly very popular for retirement, and probably still cheaper than NZ. If you’re reasonably fit you could live in some of the prettier and remote areas like the east coast, or Bruny Island. The bigger towns are all very good for hobbies and social activities.
It’s also responsibly easy and inexpensive to fly to Melbourne and Sydney. People do that regularly.
Dont you be saying bad things about the rail line in Penguin cause the government will rip it up like that have all the other major rail infrastructure we need in Tasmania.
True…
I agree! 😡
@@jenniferharrison8915why are Tasmanians so aggressive? You’re the nastiest people online. Every facebook group I’ve joined has been full of the most obnoxious people who seem to believe that they are wonderful and every else is just as sick in the head so they affirm how wonderful the obnoxious people are. Why are you like this?
She's right though
Well the good thing about Tasmania is it's not nuclear active so there's no nuclear bombs pointing at it and there are 87% of the human population living in the northern hemisphere with 13% living in the southern hemisphere in the further south you go the less people there is
Boy this is off putting. Planning on moving down from QLD in a few months. I found Hobart really arty and cool on a visit and it seems still affordable...
I’m going to be honest. I really think, having lived in Hobart, Tasmania all my life since I was 3, to this date now I’m 25, I’ve never been more miserable, lost and depressed in my entire life. Five years ago I spent a few years in Melbourne and my life started to change for the better. I realised a lot of my depression and anxiety had dissipated very quickly, within weeks, and I wasn’t constantly feeling stared at and abused driving on the road because I own a luxury car. Tall poppy syndrome is massive in Tasmania. The boganisim is out of control and Tasmanians are extremely ignorant. Not all, but my god it’s hard to find good ones. The people I’ve met here have been mainlanders and immigrants. I’ve never been able to integrate since I was little with a Tasmanian.
Now we come to the weather. Hobart you can expect most of the year to be cloudy, cold and raining. I drive a lot, most times of the day, and the weather is a constant dreary theme. Cloud, rain, cloud, drizzle, cold. If you manage to get your vitamin d and natural sunlight, make the most of it because it doesn’t last long down here. The drivers are generally highly aggressive or self entitled. You expect this behaviour on the road on the mainland because of the large population, and people there genuinely have places they need to be. Then, such as in Melbourne, you notice on weekends and after work hours people start to relax and drive normally again. Not in Tasmania. Driving in Hobart on a Sunday is more stressful than driving peak hour on the Westgate bridge in Melbourne.
Please highly consider before moving here, there’s a lot of what I would honestly call propaganda about this island. They need to push an agenda to keep the economy going down here. The amount of people over the years I’ve met down here who have turned from successful, motivated people to being hooked on substance and losing everything is something I don’t even want to speak about, the amount of young professionals who have left and are so happy living on the mainland, like the cloud has lifted from their eyes and they’ve realised reality now since getting away from here. Please, be careful before moving here.
Nobody hooks you on drugs. You choose. If a person doesn't like Tassie or appreciate then leave and find somewhere that suits you just as you have done. I wish you well.
Many folk love a appreciate Tassie.
Employment and housing are big problems around Australia..
Pam is a prime example of why Tasmania is such a miserable place, because she’s horrible and nasty. Don’t listen to her, she’ll ruin your mental health.
I’m just in it for the fishing
I'm seriously thinking of selling up and moving to Tasmania with my family from Brisbane. We have to move in the next 2 years anyway as we are running out of space at our house with cars,2 kids,boat, caravan etc and need a tree change/sea change too. I'm only really worried about the weather. Everything else in Tasmania is beautiful from the fresh produce to the scenery and culture. We have been to a lot of places on holidays but loved tassie. We have just come back from a few weeks there in an RV camper Van. We are sick of the hustle and bustle and need some more space and houses are slightly cheaper in Tasmania. We love camping, fishing and adventuring but Queensland is expensive. I am an electrician and my wife is a carer/support worker so finding work shouldn't be too hard. We are looking at possibly Huonville as house prices are OK and it's close to Hobart for work. Where would be good to look for real estate with a bit of land, views, lakes, creeks(for fishing) and not too expensive yet within 40 mins drive to Hobart? Cheers and thanks for all your info already 😊
Thank you - yep. I left decades ago now and wanted to move for most of these reasons. It has changed quite a bit in that time and I don’t think for the better. I enjoy visiting and still want to maintain that connection but not be immersed in it. Essentially it didn’t offer me what the mainland had to offer and it was too inward thinking and stifled me in many regards. As far as the traffic goes I rarely went to Hobart but I find the traffic in Tasmania better than the mainland. I miss the beauty of the landscapes but hey as I said I can visit. I would never discourage anyone from moving there. The people are friendly if you pick and choose and take the time to get to know. I appreciate an honest review. Everyone’s experiences are different.
Where are these Tasmanian mafiosa? I'm born and bred Tasmanian. Family here practically since European settlement. Farmers, fishermen, working class tradies, so not Sandy Bay types etc. Of course there are dodgy people about, but I've never heard or seen anything like you've described. You make it sound like it's an isolated horror show where the walls have ears!
I have lived in Tassie all my life. 90% of what you are saying I have never experienced or heard of. People need to keep an open mind and evaluate things for themselves.
Hi, and thanks for sharing this video. Which state do you think is the cheapest and most friendly, Perth or Adelaide? I like warmer weather.
Thank you.
Adelaide is usually cheaper, but I don’t know about friendliness. I haven’t visited either in years.
Definitely Adelaide, it's a far more accepting and open society!
It doesn't snow everywhere in Tassie check the weather bureau for comparison of areas etc....
Thanks for your information, very helpful 👍👍👍👍
hobart or lencheston which city is better for liv and work
Personally I think Launceston is easier, just because it’s not as expensive and cramped in the city centre
As a Tasmanian, I would recommend Hobart for greater work opportunities and more things happening.
im only 15 right now but i would LOVEEE to move to tassie when i older but i dont plan to move out till my mid to late 20s lol
Stay home as long as you can and save money!
Don’t do it !
Thanks for the insight
How can i migrate to Tasmania with my family from overseas as a support worker... thank you
Sorry, I don’t know.
You might need to check with government migration offices.
You can't. We don't want you. Stay in your own country or move to Sydney or Melbourne.
Be a friend to have a friend.
Go do some volunteer work and you will meets loads of lovely welcoming Tasmanians.
Mainlanders can be quite citified and judgemental.
I've met so many people from overseas and mainland who work hard and make a way and make friends.
In my experience it takes 6 months to a year to get to know people slowly.
True friendships happen slowly.
There are clubs and groups to join.
Small populations are also wary of newbies because they have had bad experiences of being used and abused so it works both ways.
If you are not critical or judgemental of others you will find like minded people. It takes time. True friendship is earned.
I wish you well.
Great summation of what I said, thanks!
Profound insights, thanks for sharing!
To add to my last comment just want to check out the scene before making a move to Tasmania and do not want to bump into the wrong people or end up living on the wrong side of the tracks for my family`s sake.
Great video… where would you recommend the best place to live as a single female with community etc
The cities are pretty good like Launceston, Burnie, Devonport or Hobart. Small towns can be ok, but it’s a risk.
That is the cutest dog I have ever seen 😉
He’s precious 🥰 butter wouldn’t melt 🧈
I know a family who went to Tassie to run the Christian schools, they built a beautifull home but ended up selling it as it was too showy for the locals they then bought a tiny old house
G'day from Castle Phoenix in Geeveston. If you are ever down our way drop in and visit😊
I shall have to check it out!
Hey dear, I want to know about part time job scenario there? Is part time readily available there?
That question is impossible to answer. You’ll just need to search online.
No. There is also a high rate of unemployment in the state.
I'd love to meet and pat your dogs!!
PS as an expat, I'm finding regional airlines (due to very strict luggage limit) a pain.
PPS Everone down south knows someone, and north everyone knows everyone
It is too bloody cold!
I LOVE TASMANIA ❤
I'd like to go there, sounds like NZ though to be fair, (where I am from).
Please keep posting
Nice video... 🤝♥️from India🇮🇳
Well, I´m a father of four, and my wife is... hmmm... not sure. You made a realy good video. Hats off. I´m an engineer, she is a nurse. How hard would it be for us? Without kissing asses. (Moving from Sweden)
Both of those professions are in demand all over the state. You could have your pick of places to live 🙂
Not difficult at all! If you apply under 45 years old, you are guaranteed a job currently in Australia, and sponsored family visas too! No arse kissing! 😁
Lots of health care jobs .It probably depends on your Field of engineering.
If it takes you 6 hours to go from top to bottom you must be stopping along the way cause Devonport to Hobart is a 3 hour drive
...and Devonport to Stanley is a two hour drive. Plus driving to Port Arthur from Hobart is also two hours. Perhaps you misunderstood what I meant by diagonally from furthest point to furthest point?
@@TasmanianWanderlust I understood what you meant and it makes perfect sense in my experience of driving around Tas
A friend of mine Adam Gibson is originally from Tasmania. I think he lives in Australia now. The only thing I know about it is that China bought all the cattle / meat supply.
There’s a massive corner of the NW called Cape Grim which is a cattle station owned by a foreign company. Pretty sure it’s Chinese but could be multinational.
Tasmania is in Australia
Not true Chinese investors bought some farms but many have now sold them. They did not ever have any huge numbers. They had a large dairy operation near Cape Grim.I think Adam is back in Tasmania now
From a Tasmanian ✅
7:54 oh my…. Yes, another thing with Tasmanians, they don’t want to pay for anything. They expect you to work, or give them things for “free”. The level of entitlement down here is something you have to live through to believe.
Health Care and Hospitals are 3rd world country standard.
Its the fault of the international migrant workers deserting Tasmania for more prestige, not the Tasmanian Health Service! Its very sad, the doctors and admin, and scientific research fields are exceptional! The workers are lazy!
PERFECT! I'm from the US. Healthcare is sub-standard here. So it'll feel familiar, and I'll die sooner than expected anyway.
Without exaggeration, this comment is so true. Our health system literally is killing people, sure Tasmania has lovely views, however health care is substandard.
You've obviously never experienced 3rd world health care! What a stupid and inaccurate statement. Obviously we can't offer everything that Sydney and Melbourne can, but they have the same ambulance ramping problems etc that we experience as well. I've been here 35 years and I've always received the health care I need when I needed it.
Same demographic of people in every State.
8:24 your friend got taken advantage of for sure. You should know your rights though - this agreement was illegal. Simply because you sign something, that does not make it legally binding if the contract itself goes against the Fair Work Act. He probably doesn't want to do anything now, but this kind of thing can and should be reported to the Ombudsman because it's illegal wage theft.
RIP TO ALL THE INDIGENOUS SOULS OF THE ISLANDS. 😢
😂
I worked in Tassie in a management role for a famous Tas Hotel chain there. The locals resent mainlanders, tbey bitch behind your back. Still a place where small thinking goes on with opposition to progress. Then there is the north south thing. Be grateful for your new stadium for gods sakes. You can have that plus public housing....
People like you is the reason why we hate mainlanders. Telling us that we should be "grateful" that the government is spending a billion dollars in taxpayers money on a new stadium which literally nobody here wants or needs. And you say that we can have a stadium and public housing? Then why not build the housing FIRST, not the stadium? People are living on the streets. What good is a stadium to them when they're homeless?
We already have 2 stadiums. We don't need another one. And certainly not one that is paid for by the taxpayer. If you want to spend a billion dollars on something as useless as a 3rd stadium just to appease the AFL, then the AFL can go pay for it themselves. Why should ordinary Tasmanian taxpayers pay for something that they're probably not going to be able to afford to visit in the first place?
Perpetual moaner groaner
Some very bent and twisted view points here!
W.G.A.F
Clearly you do! 🤣
Buy a bag of cement 🇦🇺✅
I can guarantee I’m a much more resilient person than you are if you’re so triggered by other people’s honesty 😆
@@TasmanianWanderlustDon’t stress, Tasmanians, probably due to their known close genetics, cannot take anybody criticising their precious little island. Deep seated delusions run from generation to generation.
Thank god I grew up there, my family were well respected there, and I still have family there, so I won't need to whinge all over the world when I move back! Its not that small, or that cold, and you can afford to keep a dog and travel, and study, so it can't be that bad!? Join a club, and learn to be positive! 😏🤨
As I said, I already did all those things and am loving it. Not sure what your comment is about.
Congratulations on being “well respected” 😆
@@TasmanianWanderlust You are strongly promoting negatives about Tasmania, while enjoying all it has to offer! As I said, learn to be positive, it's a small hard world, and Tasmania doesn't deserve your personal vendetta because "you" cannot integrate! 😠
@@jenniferharrison8915 no, I’m very positive, you just don’t seem to understand the purpose of a “pros and cons” video about moving interstate. If you don’t enjoy hearing the negative experiences people have in your home state, maybe you should try harder to be a nicer person?
@@jenniferharrison8915 it seems to me that you’re not very good at grasping the bigger picture, or understanding complex situations so I’m going to try and make it simple for you. I’ve made 37 videos over 4 years about Tasmania which are overwhelmingly positive and extol all the virtues of this place. Only one video actually discusses any negative aspects. You’re unable to look past one honest conversation video to see a broader view and that’s very sad, but it’s not my problem.
@@jenniferharrison8915the irony is you’re the most negative person in this conversation 🤣
