Freshest air in the world
Kangaroos are beautiful. I love them to bits. Last weekend I was driving around a bend in outer eastern Melbourne and there was a gorgeous roo by the side of the road. It looked at me, gracefully jumped the fence and hopped down the paddock. I was absolutely delighted. Made my day. ❤❤❤❤ I've also had a full grown Eastern Grey land on my windscreen while I was driving. That wasn't the least bit delightful 😂😂 It jumped out from dense shrubbery on the side of the road, also on a bend. I had no chance of seeing it. My windscreen was shattered, I was covered in glass but all I could think was "I hope you're not hurt" ( meaning the Roo). I looked out the side window. It had landed on its side on the road but it got up and hopped away. I was so relieved. They're magical creatures to me. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm an Aussie and I love our roos; such unique creatures.
Beautiful Tasmania with cute Kangaroos and other cute animals 🤗Thank you for sharing this beautiful Tasmania places 😍 Greeting from Kuala Lumpur 🤗
Tassie is a beautiful place… best way to see is to hire a camper van. So easy to get around and friendly people.
Aussies have jokes about Tasmanians but not Tassie itself. It is like another world. Last time I was there I arrived on a cruise and next time will be on a cruise,perfect way to arrive!
Beautiful Tassie - Australia's best kept secret. Nature, history, culture, produce and adventure all in an easily driveable, small package. Just watch out for the road kill. So many vistors neglect it. So glad it was part of your itinerary this time around.
Richmond’s beautiful. Oh the food - def go out to eat there -foods gorgeous in Tassie
Tasmania is beautiful. I will be their next month late November 2023.
Richmond my great great grandfather was part of the convict labour that built the Church of England (Anglican).
Ahhh, well that made me homesick. Everyone always says it is very similar to England & ofcourse it is because it was originally settled by English people & convicts. So so many building, bridges, etc are designed by the English settlers & convict built. Lots of us are descended from convicts. Mt Wellington is always windy! My mother saw the last Tasmanian Tiger at the Hobart zoo when she was about 12. Did they still have lions at Zoo Doo. I got to feed one through the wire fence once. Amazing to be so close as it’s one of my favourite animals.
Nothing between Tassie and Antarctica and those winds surely show it. Its a lovely place and their wines are amazing.
When I went to Mount Wellington it was really windy as well 😂
Some bits of the north of the state are also very English. Hawthorn hedges and a cleaner English green tinge to the landscape. *waves from somewhere south of Hobbit.
Tasmania is beautiful what a well put together video, well done!! Next time you come back- just an idea- go onto Air BNB and find an Aussie farm stay for a weekend- you get to experience true Aussie country life, often on working farms with Aussie families. Lots of animals and nature. I’ve done a few of these and I think you’d love it! ❤ 🦘
Yea that would be fun!
Just beautiful 💚💛
HI Charlie & Rob.
Beautiful Tasmania and the weather similar in Kent except for the wind 22/23 C Sat and Sunday. Great video as always very informative.
Tassie IS a beautiful place. Also, I saw snow on Mount Wellington when I was there.
There was a bit of snow on the Mountain in the morning of their last day in Tassie.
The Derwent River/Constitution Dock is where the Sydney to Hobart yacht race finishes.
We were on Mt Wellington in January and there was some snow !!! Always cooler than the mainland .❤ Tassie is very English e.g. Richmond but Hobart has the Cadbury factory 😊 it does have the cleanest Sandy squeaky beach tho 😊😊
Was mount Wellington as windy as it was when we went? 🤣
I went to Mount Wellington in November and it was lightly snowing.
Tasmania is my second favourite state, definitely underrated!
That roo likes you because you are a British tourist. 😂
Glad you took my advice and visited one of the oldest bridges in Australia. 😂
HHEEYY Welcome to Hobart, My home town.
Came to Hobart in 1975 and never left! Seeing the mountain and the river every day is totally antidepressive!
Glad you loved it. Beautiful snapshot of the area. Thank you.❤
This was a great video, really enjoyed it. Haven't been to Tassie for over 12 yrs, need to get back there 😍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice to see you in my home State.
Such a beautiful place, with amazing scenery as well as wildlife.
Glad you enjoyed your stay.
Saw snow for the first time in my life on Mt Wellington in 1995.
Tasmania is stunning! Those animals were too cute! Great vlog guys! ❤️
When I visited Mt Wellington in January a few years ago, it was snowing.
It’s great you got to experience a bit of Tassie. It’s a beautiful island away from the hustle & bustle 😊
Tassie get knocked by who we call mainlanders especially about our weather
They always say “oh you’re from Tassie you would used to the cold weather
Really 😡
Yes it’s cold in the winter like everywhere else in Australia & bloody hot 🥵 in our summer 😊
Best part of our summer is clear blue skies & humidity and yep, we can drink water from our house taps 😊
Enjoy the rest of your Aussie holiday 😊🇦🇺👍
I once went up Mt Wellington/kunanyi on a very rare day when there was no wind. Magical.
Another occaision in winter - some one had built an igloo. The light shimmered inside it. Beautiful.
Love Tasmania. If it wasn’t so cold ❤I would move there
This was so well put together 😊👍
Well done guys. Hobart is a pretty little city. And Richmond definitely giving off England vibes. I never made it to up mount Wellington when I was there years ago, so it was good to experience it vicariously through you.
Another quality video guys, love it. Now with the Tasmania thing, wherever you live in Australia you always hang shit on every other state, but it's all in good fun. Now, because Tasmania is on its own it's always good as a target for the rest of us because it stands out like dog's balls. We are very sarcastic down here, makes you resilient! Great video.
Great to see you guys kept note on improving points , As i said , Keep moving on 🎉
Great video.
When I was at Mt Wellington in 2021 there was plenty on snow on top (I think it was August) and it was apparently 11 degrees colder than the city
Tassie used to be part of NSW. It gets even more beautiful outside Hobart.
Now you know why Tassy devils are so angry, it's so damn cold and windy most of the time there.
Tasmania is in the face of the roaring 40's (latitude). No protection from land and suffers the force of all of the cold SW fronts from Antarctica.
It does snow on Mt Wellington in winter. Some days only reach 8C in Hobart and at 42C S that's cold especially with wind chill.
The sun's closer now so feels a bit warmer.
We really only get those winds during spring, so you were here at the wrong time of year if you don't like wind 🙂
And autumn. The equinoxal wind thing.
@@rosmeeker1964 Always seems to be the worst in Spring though
Tasmania. When you're on a good thing tell everyone it's terrible.😉
Haha sorry but I can only praise it
Fantastic video....
Love Hobart. Have been to Mt Wellington in the snow very beautiful but very windy. I live in the southern suburbs in Adelaide i have seen kangaroos and koalas occasionally in the streets. Awesome vlog guys. ❤❤😁👍🏻
I love tassie Hobart's salamanca market is a decent size market. That's where they build the catamarans that used to travel the english channel. Cadbury chocolate factory yummy. Cat and fiddle arcade if it's still working lol. Then port arthur is just over an hours drive from Hobart. The revolving restaurant at the casino down Sandy Bay area. Cascade brewery is there and the old women's jail in that area too.. the shot tower is just out of Hobart south. But best thing is its rarely warm in Hobart and no flies lol.
Yes the Cat and Fiddle Arcade, goes off every hour where you see the Cow jumping over the moon 🌝 and the Dish n the spoon. Also the Post Office 🏤 Clock chimes on the hour too. 😊
Too much snow on Mt Wellington is a death trap. Just a few years ago a group of snow seeking sight see-ers were heading towards death if they were not rescued in time. Blizzard conditions a danger not often thought of in Australia.
Yea I can certainly understand why
I’ve been at the Salamanca Market in the morning at Easter where it was bloody hot, only to go to the top of the mountain in the afternoon and have a blizzard! I made a snowman on the car and it lasted all the way down haha
Great vlog, did you get to see the little bit of snow on the Mountain on your last day down here?
One day we will get to England to compare the two places for ourselves.
I know you said about it in the morning and so did Leanda and nick but we didn't see it by the time we left the hotel
Have been to Tassie a couple of times but never more than just a few days so it hard to see as much of it as would like to see. Seen more of the North part around Launceston, Ulverstone and Westbury and although never been to England the town/village like Westbury really made me feel it much older than my state of Victoria and really gives a feel close to the past of Australia as so many things look older there in terms of buildings and bridges etc. So I imagined it close to what England would look like as it seems greener than mainland Australia and usually a bit colder. I've never been to New Zealand but always imagine it would look a little bit more like Tasmania than mainland Australia. Never seen a Tassie devil myself so was cool to see them move around in your video. Do not think ever been to Mount Wellington so may have to check it out some time in the future. Hopefully can travel to Tassie for a week or two at some stage.
Tasmanian born and bred... dating even all the way back to 1804. Glad you guys enjoyed your visit. It's snowed on Mt Wellington on Chrissy Day before.
Where I live in Melbourne we have 3 National Parks nearby (near the Dandenong Ranges) and we often see wild kangaroos in some streets. Unfortunately sometimes they get run over.
Nelson in new Zealand looks like Hobart , except more mountains around the harbour
Take the ferry to MONA - amazing
It was closed when we were there
It seems that dead cat was given a flogging up the top of Mount Wellington. Great vlog again guys. I learnt something about Tassy Devils. Shame the Sony wouldn't focus on you. I loved this episode with the drone footage too, so clear and still Rob. The new DJI is a boon and a must.
Haha yea they wind all day was crazy! Yea the one bit at 6:39 and not sure why. It wasn't completely out of focus but enough to be distracting.
Never mind we've all seen your ugly mug by now...@@CharlieandRob
Went up Mt Wellington in a hire car. A car pulled up next to me and the woman opened her door to get out. The wind was so fierce it blew the door out of her hand and it flew open and put a mighty crease right down the middle of my hire car door....
Haha yep that's what it felt like when we were up there
October Records for Hobart Highest on record: 34.6°C (31 Oct 1987) Lowest on record: 0.0°C (12 Oct 1889)
Ohh 😮 whoops, I have been so busy lately haven’t been watching much at all lately.
I didn’t even know that you were both here in Hobart. Dang . 😅😊 Well I am glad you had a Fantastic time Sorry 😢 I Missed you both. Those Microphones 🎤 really held up incredibly well in the wind 💨 at the top of mount Wellington.🎉
Beautiful pictures taken , on your journey. Did you happen to see some of the Unusual and Different Tassie made TV ads?
Yeah Tassie does get 🌬️ windy has always been like that. Nature Geology and Biology. And English Buildings.
Love the way you said that Windswept is Tas.😁✨🙏🏽🌸 loved watching this video you made thank you.
Glad you enjoyed. I actually ended up with wind burn on my face after this 😭
@@CharlieandRob 🙈 oh no, wind burn , yep, that is an ouch 😓 Today we finally got a 20degree day and no wind, dip in the pool 🏊♀️ kind of weather, and then probably cold spring 🌼 again after that. Happy to have watched some of your other uploads as well. Thank you for great content.
Love it
It is amazing up top of that hill! Glad you got to see zoodoo ❤.
Hope you have time to see The Penitentiary in Port Arthur!?
Port Arthur is the next video :)
On a visit about 20 years ago, we flew out of Brisbane on December 1st, where the forecast temp was 40 deg C, arrived in Hobart temp was a top of 14 deg C. Drove to top of Mt Wellington around midday and it snowed, not heavy but it was snow on the ground. Love visiting Tassy, but could not live there as the winds for me can be headache producing.
A lot of people put Tassie down because of how beautiful New Zealand is . South West National Park in Tassie is really beautiful and now there are more walking tracks . It is wild beauty. I was a member of Australian Conservation Foundation and heard lots about Tassie . Anyway me and my husband are thinking of going to visit there .
Nothing in the world can bet Milford sounds for beauty
@@coopsnz1 I understand that . Any country with fiords are stunning but Tassie is still beautiful .
I feel like it's more Tasmanians themselves that people joke about. I think most people with eyes can see it's a beautiful place.
A little slowwr in some ways but for some that's a good thing.
@@Teagirl009I always laugh when they mock Tasmanians when Victorians are not any less better.. I went to Melbourne just recently and I kept attracting weirdos, guetto people who i can't understand what they are saying and some that act like they just got out of the institution. It's fucked up. Lol
Rob and Charlie Tassy is stunningly beautiful and you didn’t miss the English feeling of it, you can’t help not notice it and enjoyed It. But don’t tell the Taswegians that we really like Tassy or them or we’ll have nothing to pick on them for lol. I have no idea when or how the friendly banter started, it’s just part of the fun of being an Aussie. The other states do love ‘em, but never tell them, ok shhhh. 😂
😮 You're in my hometown and I had no idea! Could have given you a "Locals tour." Anyway, Welcome! Please enjoy.
I did announce we were doing a meet and greet
@@CharlieandRob Ah damn. Missed that! Oh well, my bad, glad you guys had a good time.
@@CharlieandRoboh dang, I missed that too, or I certainly would’ve been there.
Glad you guys had a great holiday.....if you want to see wild kangaroos just get out of the city....Albury wodonga is a big place and we have roos everywhere in the bush around the city
Yes, Rob, kangaroos are everywhere, i
see dozens of them dead beside the roadside, Dead, Roadkill. Bloody things have no road sense😂
Hopefully you got to see the Tesselated Pavement and Port Arthur. The convict history is amazing. When you went to the Tasman Arch you went through Eaglehawk Neck and the Dog Line. Vicious guard dogs tied to barrels were placed across the neck to alert soldiers of escapees trying to leave the peninsula.
Yea the next Vlog is pretty Arthur
@@CharlieandRoblooking forward to that one. Very tragic origins, and tragic recent past 😢
What do you call a Joey that stays in its Mums pouch all day?
A pouch potatoe.
Haha Christmas cracker joke
Hobart is the best
I'm so glad you liked it 😃😄😃😁 argh, at the start of the video i lived 15 minutes away by car, i would have loved to have met you guys for even 10 minutes 😊 but I'm so glad you enjoyed here, if you seen port Arthur, or salamanca, everything just gets more English, did you go to the lawn bowls place you found ages ago on was it vr or the map, i can't remember, seeing something you have only seen through a computer would be awesome ❤.
We didnt go over that way. Was a bit windy too!
The kangaroos 🦘 are amazing, they are so cute 🥰 Not sure about the big snatching emu though 😅😅😅
What a great put together vid R&C👌, I really enjoyed showing you the sights ❤, and the meet and greet was fun🥂, but what happened to the Port Arthur and 'Rosehaven' part of the trip🤔? When did you get the drone shots of the casino, that was excellent 👍😊.
It really was amazing having you with us! The port Arthur trip is the next video 😉 I may have borrowed the first footage as I didn't have enough b-roll
@@CharlieandRob about the B roll, 😅👌. I was worried that maybe the Port Arthur stuff didn't turn out well, so glad there is a part 2 🤗. How is it being back home? I bet the fur kids were glad to see you 😻
@@leandabee they are very happy to have us back!
hobart .. 2nd best city in australia . .
Did you go to the old gaol cells at Richmond? I had a spooky experience in there.
ah no we didnt.
Good vid guys, but a bit more sightseeing would have been more interesting than zoos as you get to see basically the same thing over again and iam glad you’s enjoyed part of tassie.
Wow, you were lucky to get blown on Mt Wellington, oh errr, sorry, I misread the title.😳
haha
Australians pronounce Launceston as Lawn-sess-ton which really annoys me because I know in the UK it's pronounced as Lawnston. Tassie is so beautiful and as you say, very English.
Well we have a Launceston road in my town and we would pronounce it lawn-cess-ton too
@@CharlieandRob I've lived in a 'Derby Street' for 60 years. Always referred to it as 'Derby', not 'Darby', although that's probably the correct pronunciation. It was named for Edward Henry Stanley, 15th Earl of Derby, who was Colonial Secretary at the time, about 1882.
@@CharlieandRob locals pronounce it Lon - ses - ton shortened to lonny and get annoyed when mainlanders call it Lawn-ses-ton
❤❤❤❤❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏👏👏👏👍
You have posted nothing on Brisbane yet apart from sayings it's too hilly. When can we expect your Brisbane post?
Well most are in order of our trip (apart from the sports matches). I can't release them all at once. Brisbane will be next Saturday I think
I bought land in Tasmania 2 years ago in preparation of nuclear war……just kidding…..or am I? 😏
Seriously I’m retiring there and doing the off grid exit of society as it currently is.
🤗On Boxing Day 👍there is a Famous Race!🫶Sydney to Hobart is a 🙏World Renowned Yacht Race!👍The harbour is chokers 🫶with yachts then.💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
So sad I'm not home to meet you. I'm currently on holiday overseas. Happy to see you're enjoying my beautiful home city 😊
To be fair we had a meet and greet a couple of weeks ago but we are back in England now :)
