I think these guys have been amazingly respectful on their travels to all of Australia and its people. I love watching them! I only discovered them fairly recently. They are both beautiful people ❤
My ancestor Isaac Richardson and his brother Simeon were sent here during the machine wrecker riots in England. They arrived here in 1830 and I heard Simeon found the injustice just too much and ended up in Port Authur twice. He didn’t get married. Isaac was married with 2 children before he was convicted so his wife and kids were sent here 2 years after he arrived. Now there would have to be 5 or 600 of us.😂
I also agree. I am a proud descendant of the people of the Dharug Nation. I particularly love that you were culturally sensitive enough to say that it was the worst massacre in "modern Australian history". Thank you for treading lightly on this country as you move from Nation to Nation and being aware of the spirit that you bring with you.
That was a brilliant episode. Most of us Aussies haven't seen an albino wallaby in the wild. And thank you for acknowledging the tragedy of Port Arthur
After tasting the sourdough, Tia had that look of "I need to be alone with the bread..." as she walked away 🤣 I love Tasmania, one of my favourite places. Will also add my appreciation to the respect you showed when speaking about Port Arthur.
I’m from Tasmania; so exotic and awesome to see my home town in a RUclips video, no one ever makes videos here. Thanks for checking the place out, glad you got great weather! Tasmania is a place like none other.
Ex Tasmanian here, I agree, it's so cool to see my home state highlighted for the world in such a positive light and to see you both enjoying it. Even in summer it's always winter at the top of Mr Wellington. Bless ❤
I did not stop smiling throughout this whole vid. Makes me happy to see you two indulge & spoil yourselves. Enjoyed everything about this, the food, the commentary, the scenery, wildlife . Well done & thank you ❤🦘👏
It's weird. I lived in Hobart for ten years - my house was in those views from the mountain - and I left because of the pandemic. I loved that place but after my return to the mainland I had no feelings of reminiscence about the Island - literally until I saw this. I so love that place. I wouldn't return to it to live, but I do believe it's wonderful and indeed I used to consciously rejoice in living there every time I left my house and saw the view from my yard.
I had ancestor's from.Port Arthur Prison. They were from Ireland. I am very proud of that. They survived so that I'm alive today. Its an amazing place to go at night!
As someone from Australia who can't travel around much these days, being able to travel with you vicariously though these Aussie vids has been so great and helpful. I also appreciate the commentary on anxiety, esp in crowds or people, and It's amazing to see you conquer that.
I've spent most of my 75 years wandering and working around New South Wales. After watching you smiling your way around Tassie I think I will have to get off my bottom and seriously think of visiting Tassie. I am sure my wife and I will love it. Mike and Teen.
Why was that positive? Very few people owned guns anyway, and most, well pretty much ALL gun owners were responsible. Complete overreaction to a single event. I owned guns in the 80s and used to go out to a place called Cumnock, between Orange and Wellington in NSW. Used to drive out from Sydney and buy ammo at the K-Mart in Bathurst. We used to hunt introduced foxes for farmers. No problems, no craziness, we all had great respect for rifles and knew they weren't a toy. We had all the usual rules for gun use. 1. Consider a gun loaded at all times. 2. Never point a gun at a person, even as a joke. 3. Always point a weapon towards the ground. 4. Never shoot a rifle unless there is solid ground behind where the shoot would go. In other words, if you are aiming at a target, make sure there is something behind it, like a hill, in case you miss. All people treated guns with respect. People like you, who know nothing about guns, should make opinions on things you know nothing about.
@@THUMPTABLE Sorry if your minute brain can't handle a couple of sentences and think it's a lecture. Again, if you haven't got anything intelligent to say, consider not speaking.
You can't really say "all people treated guns with respect" in the face of the tragedy that brought on the gun control reforms, can you? The dead at Port Arthur completely disproves that notion. And this is all to say nothing of the United States, which is perhaps the best real-life representation of an alternate-reality Australia that you are ever going to get, regarding gun culture and ownership. I support the right to own a firearm, which I understand is still possible in Australia. But it should come with very stringent requirements.
@@OnePackWanderers 99.99% of the time. Australia did NOT have a gun problem, it one isolated event. Don’t be a contrarian just to make yourself look clever.
Hobart my favourite town but I haven't been back to Port Arthur since 1996 such an eerie place. Thank you for the respectful way you spoke of the tragedy there.
Like many have commented The way you spoke of Port Arthur, with respect, wisdom and maturity. Thank you. Your parents must be proud of you guys. We are all proud subscribers.
You guys are so respectful of history no matter where you go. It is really appreciated by most of us, particularly when its a history of which we are not proud but we must till pay it homage as it has paid its part in making Australia what it is.
Not much makes me happier than seeing your smiling faces. I'm hoping we get aurora and Salamanca hot spiced apple juice in this video. Also, thank you for giving due respect to Port Arthur's history; old and new. I've messaged you on Instagram with an offer to pay both your admission to "The Ship that never was" in Strahan.
You can tell when you both like what you are eating and when you LOVE what you are eating. The footage of you both eating that fridge sourdough was the perfect advertisement for that bread. 🤤
You'll love The Nut and cradle mountain, as Tia said you'll just have to come back again, lucky it wasn't snowing on Mnt Wellington. 😊 another great video.
Food is definitely something Tasmania hits well above its weight in. There’s an enormous amount of quality, fresh local produce and tourists to buy it that sustain local businesses that farm/create it.
That might have been the windiest Tia for Scale ever! And don’t ever worry about how much food content you have. I can’t get enough of it! Congrats on finding the albino wallaby and keep enjoying Australia! I use too many exclamation points. 😊
I’m not normally one to comment but just wanted to commend you on the respect you paid in telling the Port Arthur story and on a lighter note celebrate both faces of Tia eating the donut and then the raw oyster. Brilliant video guys. 👍🏼
Seeing you guys up on Mt Wellington brought back so many wonderful memories from my youth. I'm from WA but we got to travel to Tasmania way back when and we visited Mt Wellington and it sowed up there, it was my first time ever seeing snow where I could physically touch it. We also visited Port Arthur but it was before the '96 massacre so it was just a tourist destination back then. I just remember the beautiful scenery, the snow, the crisp morning weather and acclimatised Tasmanian school kids running around in 5°C weather in shorts and skirts while I was rugged up in multiple layers. But also seeing the happiness and the deep love and respect you have for each other and the places you visit is so inspiring and heartwarming. And Tia, I'm so proud of you confronting your anxiety and putting yourself out there, it takes courage and willpower and you have it in spades. I know how you feel sometimes, it's bad enough having to move through large crowds, but to film yourself doing it at the same time, it would be daunting. Cheveyo is so supporting, it's really cool to have someone with the confidence and patience to push you but also doing it in such a loving and supporting way, you're very lucky to have each other. Take care guys, I know your Australian leg is just about over, we're going to miss you desperately here, it would be fantastic to see you here more permanently. Who knows, one day, right?
hey you two, I'm so glad that you have been discovering Tasmania and sharing it with the world. When you visited the lighthouse in Devonport tears filled my eyes. before I was of school age my brother and I played around that whole area as my parents ran the cafe and takeaway shop on the foreshore ..... it looked much different then ... and I had no idea of the significance of this place to our First Nations community - it was just a place of wonder. Thankyou for coming here and sharing your experiences, thank you for being respectful of our First Nation community throughout your travels in this amazing country (bay: I am not of First Nations heritage) and thank you in this video for respectfully acknowleding Port Arthur for its history (some of us came from those prisoners), and the dignified way acknowledged the tragedy and our governments response. John Howard and his government did a lot of harm to this country, but he did do an amazing thing with gun control..... ok no more home politics, I really hope you are going to Cradle Mountain. If it's not on the agenda please re-consider. You will not be disappointed!!! Lotsof love G
Your words about Port Arthur were spot on.... nicely done. Will you get to Richmond with the oldest convict built bridge and a beautiful old town? You might be too far away now :-( Enjoy Tassie... look forward to the next one.
Bringing back memories for me. Spent 9 months renovating a mate's house in Southport. The most southern place in Tassie. And of course , it has the most southern pub in Australia.
Another of your hugely high-standard videos. Thanks so much. Its got me thinking of a get-away next year maybe. I'd forgotten about how cool Tassie is, and you had me chuckling along to some of your antics. Stay safe guys and happy trails.
I think this was your best video yet!! Got me wanting to book a trip there right now & now I’m just drooling with hunger for that food!! The way you filmed & presented Port Arthur was touching & respectful, thank you. You have a way of making me feel that I’m right there with you ..I even had a weird sensation of being able to smell the bush on your walk on Bruny island. ❤
Tearing up at 16:30. Thank you for acknowledging and not shying away from the import issues of our history and contemporary lives. 22:40 Thank you for acknowledging Truganini and the First Nations people.
Enjoyed the foodie episode, well done and Cheveyo, your voiceover was excellent, grateful your seeing all the special spots, shout out to the viewer that sponsored the Bruny Island trip for you, well done whomever you are......safe travels...love and light from wet old Perth, Western Australia
Especially a few nights ago when the aurora was putting on a show! I didn't take the camera out because it was a bit foggy here, but I could see it anyway.
Tia is a great artist and the last postcard looked amazing.. keep those interesting videos happening. I happy you got to see Tasmania it’s a fantastic island.
I always find myself pleasantly chuckling away in your vlogs, and I’m with you Tia, oysters raw like that just aren’t my thing!! 😂 Great to see you enjoying your time in Tassie! Also really appreciate how you are both always so respectful of our history, so thank you, and spot on about never forgetting the past, to make a better future for all. Crikey, I don’t want your last Aussie video to come.... we will all miss your shenanigans and adventures here, but we will love watching whatever you get up to next!
I hope you go south to Huon Valley. There is a traditional wooden boat building museum and shed and Oyster Bay in Kettering. Plus lots of farm to plate type experiences. Had the best lamb in my life in Hobart restaurant adjacent to where Salmanaca markets are held. Plus Hobart botanic gardens and Cascade Brewery worth visiting. Plus some famous books were written based in Tasmania. The Potato Factory and Terms of his Natural Life and The Light Meets the Oceans book was filmed around Stanley in north.
Cheveyo discovered 3 "bests" in this video: 1. Best lemon filling in a doughnut 2. Best oysters 3. Best sourdough bread Looks like Tasmania is hard to beat! 💪🏼👍🏼😊
Great video guys! I was laughing and in tears at your experience with the sour dough! I loved the perserverence you showed with Mount Wellington and the patience and respect you shared with Port Aurthur.
The joy and love for life and each other just flows through the camera lenses. You have such a great following in the internet media. I am surprised that you have not been offered your own commercial TV show. But then again it would put too many restrictions on your lifestyle, bowing to the wishes of an editor and director. You put so much joy in the life of those who follow you with your exuberance. Life is worth living.
I didn’t want this video to end! Even in the Winter, you manage to make Tassie look like a place I really want to visit sooner rather than later for the produce alone!
When I worked for the federal government back in the mid-1980s, I was sent to all the mainland cities to troubleshoot for the department I was in. Then I got sent to Hobart. I instantly fell in love with the cities, and Tasmania. It's clear from your vlogs the same thing is happening to you both. When you get back home to to the States, family and friends will ask 'what was Australia like?'. And you will marvel them with memories of the Bungle Bungles, Fitzroy crossing, the drive out to Wolf Crater etc. Then someone will ask what was Tasmania like, and your faces will soften, a wistful tone will come to your voices, and you will be instantly back in Tassie. And I'm speaking from personal experience.
And tomato sauce, my favourite recipe: 12 fresh oysters 2 rashers bacon ¼ cup tomato sauce 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce ½ teaspoon Tabasco 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped So easy to make up at home
Oysters Kilpatrick is the name that we call the BBQ oysters with bacon, Tomato and Worcestershire sauce mixed together. Other sauce variations can have good quality BBQ sauce and a dash of Tabasco added.
Thanks for deciding to check out Tassie. Although I'm a Melbournian, I absolutely adore Tassie. There are so many hidden treasures to explore. Your treatment of the past, and more recent history of Port Arthur was done extremely tastefully. An extremely tragic way to bring about changes to our gun laws that "if only" could be embraced in many other lands could make such a difference. Enjoy your time there. :)
Glad you both mentioned the tragedy at Port Arthur. Well done. Us Aussies never mention his name. Looks like you've having beaut time in Tassie. Bloody oysters are dear everywhere now. Drive safe, some Tassie roads can be a bit dicky. 😂
Tassie is our favourite part of Oz and we plan to retire there in the next few years. My wife and I both thought you'd love it and we're very much enjoying your delighted reactions to the place, its scenery, and definitely its food. Love that you got to see the echidna in the wild. The Tasmanian ones have much thicker fur amongst their spines than the mainland ones and so look bigger and "fluffier" (if you could possibly call an echidna fluffy 😊). And adding in another upvote for your respectful words about Port Arthur.
Tasmania is such a beautiful state, Port Arthur with all its history is one of our most historical sites, as you walk around it you just can’t imagine the pain and sorrow of those grounds. Until you visit it you cannot imagine the serenity it also brings. Also gotta say the FOOD, food orgasms each and every time.
I came to Tasmania for work in 1975, and am still here! Loving that you are enjoying your time here. Bruny is great, Mt Wellington on the city's doorstep. Port Arthur (a stunning beautiful haunted place of past/near-past tragedy). Thank you for your respect. Hope your journey around the west coast is equally as enjoyable for you.🙏😁
Australians almost always visit Tasmania in the warmer months when they can appreciate its beauty much better. I might add though it would make for a cheap holiday in winter ( off peak ). Living in Victoria - my instincts compel me to head north in the winter ( Cairns & Port Douglas where it’s a steady 27 degrees C every day )
Postmaster General (PMG) used to be the name of Australia's telecommunications and postal service before it got split into Telecom Australia (which become Telstra) and Australia Post. That's where the tower name likely came from.
Another great episode! This was a lot of fun and the 30 minutes flew by! Grew up in Tas but moved to Melb for uni and been here for 15 years now. Tas has changed a lot in that time and for the better. MONA really elevated the art and food scene there, it attracted a lot of great cooks and baristas. It's also diversified a lot in those 15 years and again that has done wonders for the food options there too. Hobart used to be dead by 5pm but it's definitely got a lot more going for it and they have a lot of festivals and markets now
30:08 All correct. On 25th of July we are celebrating "Christmas in July". Daylight length and weather are more matching to the conditions of the Northern Hemisphere on 25th of December.
Chevio 👍 We weRE curious as to how you would address Port Arthur’s disturbing history, of the 1800s and 1996, it would have been easier to skip it. But you did it and you did it well, you brought a tear to my eye, you are wonderfully sensitive and respectful, WELL DONE 👍
Did you know that Hobart has a similar latitude to Rome. But Hobart has ocean all the way south to Antarctica and also west offering no protection from the wind, rain and cold. Rome of course is only a few hundred miles from Tunisia, Libya and the Sahara Desert.
Love that you love our state and a great move basing yourself in Hobart. Don’t miss the historic town of Richmond around 35 mins from the CBD. Oldest bridge in Australia built by convicts. Such a quaint town - lunch, scones and tea! And for fabulous bread try Pigeon Hole Bakery in Argyle St in Hobart. Looking forward to the next video ! ❤
Best episode yet, you guys. Chev's commentary was super professional and emotional, and seeing you guys finally get to spoil yourselves which we all want for you was a huge treat. I'd put forward moneys, but my weekly wage is like $8.50. From your co-husband, Michael from Woolworths.
I saw you guys in city on Tuesday. Looked like you were enjoying.. didnt wanted to bother you. Have fun and enjoy Tassie
Good on you, you thoughtful bugger. I don't think I would have been able to resist letting them know how much they mean to their viewers.
Thats a true fan, who puts the creators above their own interests :)
Not easy for famous peeps to hideaway in Tassie😂
Heya! Never bothers us when people say hi 😊
❤
thankyou for treating Port Authur with respect
Yes good on you guys for treading lightly to the past🙏🏻🙏🏻
I actually loved this but of the video too.. done with a quiet respect. Or that's the way it came across. ❤
Yeah good job. It still runs deep here. :)
I think these guys have been amazingly respectful on their travels to all of Australia and its people. I love watching them! I only discovered them fairly recently. They are both beautiful people ❤
My ancestor Isaac Richardson and his brother Simeon were sent here during the machine wrecker riots in England. They arrived here in 1830 and I heard Simeon found the injustice just too much and ended up in Port Authur twice. He didn’t get married. Isaac was married with 2 children before he was convicted so his wife and kids were sent here 2 years after he arrived. Now there would have to be 5 or 600 of us.😂
The way you handled the Port Arthur section of this video with so much respect only served to reinforce how much I love you guys.
was going to say 100% the same thing
Yes they really were.
I also agree. I am a proud descendant of the people of the Dharug Nation. I particularly love that you were culturally sensitive enough to say that it was the worst massacre in "modern Australian history". Thank you for treading lightly on this country as you move from Nation to Nation and being aware of the spirit that you bring with you.
I reckon this is the happiest I've seen you two. Tasmania is totally worth it.
That was a brilliant episode. Most of us Aussies haven't seen an albino wallaby in the wild.
And thank you for acknowledging the tragedy of Port Arthur
After tasting the sourdough, Tia had that look of "I need to be alone with the bread..." as she walked away 🤣
I love Tasmania, one of my favourite places. Will also add my appreciation to the respect you showed when speaking about Port Arthur.
that was so cute
Your gentle and respectful acknowledgment of the tragedy at Port Arthur is really appreciated

Every video you two just totally nail it. Thank you for your sensitive treatment of Port Arthur, and your beautiful capture of Tassy.
The baked oysters with Worcestershire sauce and bacon is called 'Oysters Kilpatrick'. It is quite common all over Australia and one of my favs.
If you went to Tas and it didn't turn into a food video, I'd be sad. Best oysters in the world.
RuthFogarty.....AND crays,preferably on Bicheno beach with a cupla bottles of bubbly ! (& a day to just dream)
Can agree on the oyster part just had Tassie oysters a few days ago we get them every few weeks up here in brissy..
Used to have the best salmon but we won't talk about that.
@@Shilo-fc3xm bra 👀
I love the way you handled the sensitivity and enormity of Port Arthur. Beautifully presemted beauty of Tassie ❤
Those roaring forties winds remind you that its a gateway to Antarctica. The beautiful food is often the number 1 excuse for a trip to Tassie.
It's weird. I lived in Hobart for ten years - my house was in those views from the mountain - and I left because of the pandemic.

Agree- they were survivors and we stand on their shoulders, living lives they had no hope of enjoying.
As someone from Australia who can't travel around much these days, being able to travel with you vicariously though these Aussie vids has been so great and helpful. I also appreciate the commentary on anxiety, esp in crowds or people, and It's amazing to see you conquer that.
Omg I won the postcard yay oh my doggy in the picture is BillieJean ❤❤❤
Congrats Jenny!
Congratulations. What a treat!
woohoo
I'll give you 50 bucks. Lol. Kidding. Congratulations.
Congratulations. 😊😊
I love Tasmania so much. ❤❤ Great video!
I've spent most of my 75 years wandering and working around New South Wales. After watching you smiling your way around Tassie I think I will have to get off my bottom and seriously think of visiting Tassie. I am sure my wife and I will love it. Mike and Teen.
My favourite month is March. Fewer crowds, stable weather, some autumn colours starting to emerge. But it is wonderful year round.
Thank you for talking about the Port Arthur tragedy, it shook the whole country. The positive thing to come from it was our tough gun laws.
Why was that positive? Very few people owned guns anyway, and most, well pretty much ALL gun owners were responsible. Complete overreaction to a single event. I owned guns in the 80s and used to go out to a place called Cumnock, between Orange and Wellington in NSW. Used to drive out from Sydney and buy ammo at the K-Mart in Bathurst.

l’ll second that, I was wondering if you’d address it. You did well 😊
Echidnas in the wild. It doesn’t get any better.

You did! I first thought it was a Wombat, I need new glasses! 🧐

Saw it last year. So worthwhile
I'm so glad you guys got to Tassie ,so many tourists come to mainland Aus ,but miss out on Tassie .
It's definitely worth the extra effort.
Most just travel up the East coast of the mainland and don't really go any further than sticking the toe into Australia
Thank you for supporting Cancer Council Australia.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love the way Tia had exactly the same cheeky look as the last time in Melbourne she got doughnuts.. 😍 😅
Mmmmm, doughnuts!!
You can tell when you both like what you are eating and when you LOVE what you are eating. The footage of you both eating that fridge sourdough was the perfect advertisement for that bread. 🤤
Tasmania you didn’t let us down,you are still top of everyone’s bucket list.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for your thoughtful comments on Port Arthur.
The clouds you saw were lenticular high altitude ones, they form in the direction of the wind.
Tia's face trying the oyster was priceless 🤣🤣🤣
You'll love The Nut and cradle mountain, as Tia said you'll just have to come back again, lucky it wasn't snowing on Mnt Wellington. 😊 another great video.

I was on top of Mount Wellington on 26 January with my wife and children dressed in shorts and T shirts and it snowed.
Both times that I have been to Tassie, in January, it snowed!
Hobart is the best city on earth! Loved your words about Port Arthur....
Tia is delightful. Just love her sense of joy.

Respects to the way you both handled the touchy subject of Port Arthur and what happened there in 1996 (as you always do of course)
Do Mt. Wellington when there is snow, it takes your breath away, literally.

Fresh air. Fresh water. Fresh ingredients. Food in Tas is so consistently great because it has all the essentials right here.
I saw on the news that the Aurora Australis was highly visible in Tassie 3 days ago. I hope you saw it :)
Was thinking that also, and I think they might have missed out on seeing the mountain covered in snow.

Just look up into the sky during the night…you will never see a clearer & more brighter sky anywhere…Tasmania is a fantastic experience
Yea I’m Tasmanian and I was expecting an amazing night sky in the outback. Was a bit disappointed because I have seen better in Tassy.
Especially a few nights ago when the aurora was putting on a show! I didn't take the camera out because it was a bit foggy here, but I could see it anyway.
Another very entertaining video guys and Cheveyo your bit about Port Arthur was very well done mate.👍
Please do go to the MONA. You will have your minds blown.
Yes! Even if you don't show us.... for your own enjoyment... A tad expensive but well worth it.
Tia is a great artist and the last postcard looked amazing.. keep those interesting videos happening. I happy you got to see Tasmania it’s a fantastic island.
I always find myself pleasantly chuckling away in your vlogs, and I’m with you Tia, oysters raw like that just aren’t my thing!! 😂 Great to see you enjoying your time in Tassie! Also really appreciate how you are both always so respectful of our history, so thank you, and spot on about never forgetting the past, to make a better future for all. Crikey, I don’t want your last Aussie video to come.... we will all miss your shenanigans and adventures here, but we will love watching whatever you get up to next!
I hope you go south to Huon Valley. There is a traditional wooden boat building museum and shed and Oyster Bay in Kettering. Plus lots of farm to plate type experiences. Had the best lamb in my life in Hobart restaurant adjacent to where Salmanaca markets are held. Plus Hobart botanic gardens and Cascade Brewery worth visiting. Plus some famous books were written based in Tasmania. The Potato Factory and Terms of his Natural Life and The Light Meets the Oceans book was filmed around Stanley in north.
Cheveyo discovered 3 "bests" in this video:
1. Best lemon filling in a doughnut
2. Best oysters
3. Best sourdough bread
Looks like Tasmania is hard to beat! 💪🏼👍🏼😊
Great video guys! I was laughing and in tears at your experience with the sour dough!
I loved the perserverence you showed with Mount Wellington and the patience and respect you shared with Port Aurthur.
The joy and love for life and each other just flows through the camera lenses. You have such a great following in the internet media. I am surprised that you have not been offered your own commercial TV show. But then again it would put too many restrictions on your lifestyle, bowing to the wishes of an editor and director.
You put so much joy in the life of those who follow you with your exuberance.
Life is worth living.
One of the best comments to this channel I have read! I definitely couldn't have said it any better myself. ❤😊
I really enjoyed this video guys, Tasmania is one of Australia’s true gems! Thankyou for how you covered Port Arthur, you were so respectful. 🙏
We loved your latest episode on Hobart .Your best I'd say .Keep up your awesome work ,you are the reason I watch You Tube 😊❤❤
Thank you so much 😊
The tower at 9.07 is a TV and FM radio broadcast tower. The top section is fibreglass with the antennas protected inside from the weather.
I ate some of the best food of my life on Bruney island last year. What an incredible community they have there. Cant wait to go back again.
Awesome 👌
I'm so glad you guys are living your best life.
I didn’t want this video to end!
Even in the Winter, you manage to make Tassie look like a place I really want to visit sooner rather than later for the produce alone!
I love Tassie. I used to live in Canada and I get strong Nova Scotia vibes. It's just a beautiful, serene, little paradise.
When I worked for the federal government back in the mid-1980s, I was sent to all the mainland cities to troubleshoot for the department I was in. Then I got sent to Hobart. I instantly fell in love with the cities, and Tasmania. It's clear from your vlogs the same thing is happening to you both. When you get back home to to the States, family and friends will ask 'what was Australia like?'. And you will marvel them with memories of the Bungle Bungles, Fitzroy crossing, the drive out to Wolf Crater etc. Then someone will ask what was Tasmania like, and your faces will soften, a wistful tone will come to your voices, and you will be instantly back in Tassie. And I'm speaking from personal experience.
Seeing you guys will be leaving from Devonport I really hope your going to Cradle Mountain and if you have time The Nut/Stanley ❤
and definitely macquarie river cruise
welcome to my state, i hope you love it here
oysters kilpatrick, grilled oysters, wocestershire sauce & bacon
And tomato sauce, my favourite recipe:
12 fresh oysters
2 rashers bacon
¼ cup tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon Tabasco
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
So easy to make up at home
the bacon sounds good
You guys are making beautiful videos, lovely couple x
Oysters Kilpatrick is the name that we call the BBQ oysters with bacon, Tomato and Worcestershire sauce mixed together.
Other sauce variations can have good quality BBQ sauce and a dash of Tabasco added.
Once again you guys hit it out of the park...especially the respect you gave Port Arthur......its such a beautiful place with such a tragic history
"It's August" ...... Christmas in July is quite a common thing in the colder parts of Australia.
@billk9856 yes as it gets too hot in the summer time , also no snow then!
…and also the warmer parts of Australia 🙂
Grew up in Canberra. Is it? Lol.
The look on Tia's face when eating the fresh oyster was priceless, and gorgeous!!!!❤❤💘
Thanks for deciding to check out Tassie. Although I'm a Melbournian, I absolutely adore Tassie. There are so many hidden treasures to explore. Your treatment of the past, and more recent history of Port Arthur was done extremely tastefully. An extremely tragic way to bring about changes to our gun laws that "if only" could be embraced in many other lands could make such a difference. Enjoy your time there. :)
Glad you both mentioned the tragedy at Port Arthur. Well done. Us Aussies never mention his name. Looks like you've having beaut time in Tassie. Bloody oysters are dear everywhere now. Drive safe, some Tassie roads can be a bit dicky. 😂
Muricans would be used to mass shootings as a weekly event. But no sane Australian would believe that halfwit killed Al those people.
wow those doughnuts were so expensive! I love the food Chev, don't stop filming the food.
but worth it - they're pretty special!
Glad you went to Port Arthur. It is a beautiful place despite its history.
Tassie is our favourite part of Oz and we plan to retire there in the next few years. My wife and I both thought you'd love it and we're very much enjoying your delighted reactions to the place, its scenery, and definitely its food.
Love that you got to see the echidna in the wild. The Tasmanian ones have much thicker fur amongst their spines than the mainland ones and so look bigger and "fluffier" (if you could possibly call an echidna fluffy 😊). And adding in another upvote for your respectful words about Port Arthur.
By far the best you tubers around quality enjoyable videos. Thanks guys
Tasmania is such a beautiful state, Port Arthur with all its history is one of our most historical sites, as you walk around it you just can’t imagine the pain and sorrow of those grounds. Until you visit it you cannot imagine the serenity it also brings.
Also gotta say the FOOD, food orgasms each and every time.
I came to Tasmania for work in 1975, and am still here!
Loving that you are enjoying your time here. Bruny is great, Mt Wellington on the city's doorstep.
Port Arthur (a stunning beautiful haunted place of past/near-past tragedy). Thank you for your respect.
Hope your journey around the west coast is equally as enjoyable for you.🙏😁
Australians almost always visit Tasmania in the warmer months when they can appreciate its beauty much better. I might add though it would make for a cheap holiday in winter ( off peak ).
Living in Victoria - my instincts compel me to head north in the winter ( Cairns & Port Douglas where it’s a steady 27 degrees C every day )
Postmaster General (PMG) used to be the name of Australia's telecommunications and postal service before it got split into Telecom Australia (which become Telstra) and Australia Post.
That's where the tower name likely came from.
Also known as The Condom
Another great vid Cheveyo and Tia, love them
Another great episode! This was a lot of fun and the 30 minutes flew by!
Grew up in Tas but moved to Melb for uni and been here for 15 years now. Tas has changed a lot in that time and for the better. MONA really elevated the art and food scene there, it attracted a lot of great cooks and baristas. It's also diversified a lot in those 15 years and again that has done wonders for the food options there too. Hobart used to be dead by 5pm but it's definitely got a lot more going for it and they have a lot of festivals and markets now
30:08 All correct. On 25th of July we are celebrating "Christmas in July". Daylight length and weather are more matching to the conditions of the Northern Hemisphere on 25th of December.
Chevio 👍 We weRE curious as to how you would address Port Arthur’s disturbing history, of the 1800s and 1996, it would have been easier to skip it. But you did it and you did it well, you brought a tear to my eye, you are wonderfully sensitive and respectful, WELL DONE 👍
Did you know that Hobart has a similar latitude to Rome. But Hobart has ocean all the way south to Antarctica and also west offering no protection from the wind, rain and cold. Rome of course is only a few hundred miles from Tunisia, Libya and the Sahara Desert.
Hobart's average winter maximum temperature is warmer than Rome's. (13.0 to 12.6). Rome is hotter in summer.
Love that you love our state and a great move basing yourself in Hobart. Don’t miss the historic town of Richmond around 35 mins from the CBD. Oldest bridge in Australia built by convicts. Such a quaint town - lunch, scones and tea! And for fabulous bread try Pigeon Hole Bakery in Argyle St in Hobart. Looking forward to the next video ! ❤
It was so windy when we went up to mount Wellington too. But so beautiful at the same time
I was scared to watch this episode as an Australian, it was an awful day when the massacre occurred. You did an amazing job of handling this. Xx
Haha that was hilarious when Tia was eating the oyster. 😂
Best episode yet, you guys.
Chev's commentary was super professional and emotional, and seeing you guys finally get to spoil yourselves which we all want for you was a huge treat.
I'd put forward moneys, but my weekly wage is like $8.50.
From your co-husband, Michael from Woolworths.
Echidna just wobbling around lol 😄
So happy to see you having a wonderful time experiencing Tassie. It's a lovely place.
