The overwhelming majority of Australians don’t hate Tasmania.
The overwhelming majority of Tasmanians hate Tasmania though 🤣
lol yep
I like Tasmania. been there and enjoyed it.
@@moventur do they?
@@moventur sorry can't have that.
We don't hate Tasmania. I Iove it even if it is a little backward. Just friendly rivalry. We like to take the piss out of each other. Victorians are called Mexicans, South Australians are called Croweaters, West Australians are called Sandgropers, Queenslanders are called Banana Benders, etc.
Queenslanders are called insane.
Yep, it's just Aussie banter.
Everyone knows how beautiful Tassie is. Though too cold for beautiful beach swimming.
Last time I was down in Hobart I was taking the piss out of a bar lady about being a Kiwi...😂
She charged me double for my drinks all night and I didn't realize until a local said "Give the mainlander his money back Tracy"..
🤣 Don't take the piss out of them within earshot! They are still smart arse Aussies 😂🤣😂
That's one smart bar lady. Props to her. lol.@@kevo6190
I love Tasmania (I live in South Australia). If I could get a job there, I would move there in an instant.
Americans go on vacation, Aussies go on Holidays.
4-6 weeks as opposed to 2 weeks (if they’re lucky and allowed to) in the USA.
Also, we don’t hate Tassie at all. We love Tassie. In fact we think it’s fantassietic
I have lived in Australia for 76 years and have never heard of anyone hating Tasmania. Tassie is an incredibly scenic part of our country.
Every state makes fun of other states. It's our sense of humour ❤
yep🙂
Except for Queensland. Only Queenslanders like Queensland ;)
Tasmania is FANTASTIC. My favourite holiday destination EVER
I love your nickname for Tasmania, Ryan: "Down Under, Down Under" 😂
I'm a Tasmanian. Also my ancestors were English and Irish convicts. Beautiful place, mountains, beaches, bushland. Tasmanian Devils.
My sister lives in Tassie. I've been visiting a couple of times a year for nearly 30 years. Awesome place. So much food.
As a Chef from Melbourne, it pains me to say, that place is the food capital of Australia. Gin, Whiskey and Beer are next level too🤘
I have spent a bit of time on Bruny Island. The locals say 'we are on an island off an island off an island.' A few years ago the pub at Lunawanna claimed it was the southern most pub in Australia. The pub at Snug on the mainland disagreed. So they decided to settle it in a very Australian way; a game of cricket. The issue was never resolved as the game was abandoned when the players became too drunk to continue. Everyone adjourned to the bar to continue the argument. One would have thought that a simple check on the map would sort this out but nah, this is Tasmania.
Isn't the pub at Southport the most southern?
It could be, I was just relaying a story that I was told by a Bruny Is old timer. I don't guarantee it's accuracy.@@djlow2398
Bruny is a beautiful little spot.
I love this story
We do not hate Tasmania it is part of Australia and we go to have holidays, it is one of most beautiful parts of the country. However we do takes the piss as they do.
I think the reason some of us Tasmanians get upset about being left off the map is, we are not just another island off the coast of Australia, we are a state. We deserve to be treated withe the same respect as all other stats and Territories.
Do we really get upset though? It's just a map.
No one hates Tassie. It’s gorgeous there and the people are great.
I think the difference with Hawaii being forgotten on a map/logo of the USA and Tasmania being left off an Australian map/logo is that Tasmania is 4 times as big as the Hawaiian islands collectively (the state of Hawaii). We’re not as small as our population would portray. Tasmania is almost exactly the same size as the Republic of Ireland.
The dark history of Tasmania relates to a few things, including the most violent war between colonists and aboriginals (about 1,000 deaths). Also, before it became Tasmania, it was called Van Dieman's Land and was the largest penal colony - with still the smallest general population, hence the inbreeding two-heads jokes. In more recent times, it was the place of Australia's worst mass shooting at Port Arthur in 1996 (35 killed, 23 wounded) by a guy with a semi-automatic rifle.
These things are not why one would hate Tasmania
@lennierobson8672 I didn't say anything about hate. I was merely explaining to Ryan some of the dark history that was referred to.
As a Tasmaniac, I can confirm that NZ (especially the South Island) and Tasmania have a connection as fellow 'islanders'. There's an almost unspoken respect for and acknowledgement of each other.
We go up ⬆️ for warmer weather, the stuff about Tasmania, is just harmless banter we love it ❤
Hi Ryan one interesting fact Queen Mary of Denmark is Tasmanian
That she is and were proud of that fact 17:46
John Donaldson, Queen Mary's Dad was an Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at the University of Tasmania and he was assigned as my fellow at my residential college. Know him and his wife well. This was back in the early 00s when Mary had just started dating Prince Frederick.
I’ve never heard of an Australian hating Tasmania every Australian I know loves Tasmania.
Hate maybe a strong word. They usually just ignore us.just look at the logo of South Australia - includes every other State but us
It's just like a joke like them being all imbreads down there!
I despise them and their damn apples. and their Cascade brewery. oh and Primrose Sands- can't stand that place. and David Boon. Don't get me started on Boonie. But I really hate South Australia!
I've had it up to here with Tasmanians.
Southern Tasmaniac here. I had a friend who called the mainland 'the big rock' and Tasmania, 'the windy rock.'
Oh I love that! Southern tas here too! Big love to you ❤❤❤❤
I’ve lived and worked in dozens of countries around the world, and even if I didn’t have friends or family in Tasmania, I would still return there to my roots. It’s the most peaceful, relaxing place I’ve ever lived. There used to be a joke about Tasmanians being so laid back they were horizontal 😂
I live in New South Wales and love Tasmania. It is a great state and the people are wonderful. I’m moving there.
World's cleanest air, breathtaking scenery amazing produce/food/wine/booze. Dark history of convict past and treatment of our first nation's people. Proud Victorian here and I love the apple isle.😊
Was born in Tassie, spent 35 years in Queensland and moved back to Tasmania 8 years. It’s not perfect, but what state is??… Absolutely love Tasmania. Life is just easy here.
Hi Ryan, you’ve gotta remember that we are upside down to the US. The land at the bottom is colder not hotter…think of it as New England rather than Florida. Beautiful island, clean and really fresh wind since it comes directly from the South Pole.🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's got no idea lol. Said Australian bloke was born on the equator... 🤦♂️🤣
Saying Australians hate Tasmania would be like saying Americans hate Hawaii, what reason would there be to hate an island state of one's homeland?
I have never heard of people hating Tasmania. A lot of mainland Australians haven’t visited Tassie. They say it looks beautiful, but they don’t go and experience it for themselves. It’s only an hour plane trip from Melbourne or overnight on the ferry and you can take your car with you.
76,000 convicts
The British Government transported about 76,000 convicts to Tasmania between 1804 and 1853.162,000 convicts
Between 1788 and 1868 more than 162,000 convicts were transported to Australia. Of these, about 7,000 arrived in 1833 alone
Tasmania was a place of secondary punishment for convicts. The worst ones were sent there to Port Arthur.
Sarah Island was where they sent the worst of the worst .... The repeat offenders, the cannibals etc. Port Arthur was a preschool in comparison.
I giggled every time you said "Tasmaniacs" LOL!
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!! I know! Hahahahah
We're Ta-asmaniacs, we have loads of awesome tracks.
Cascade brews way out the back, Cadbury makes our favourite snacks.
We're Ta-asmaniacs!
The 'Dark times' referred to is the convict jails and ruins in Port Arthur, Tasmania it demonstrates the revolting manner in which the convicts were incarcerated. The tragedy that shocked Australians happened in Port Arthur a few years ago when the lowest form of life slaughtered visitors with automatic and semi-automatic weapons, the legacy from this was the introduction of strict gun laws.
We take the mickey out of everything that we love the most, it’s when an Australian is very polite that your warning bells should be ringing 😂
Very true!👍👍👍
I have lived in both Tasmania and Queensland, and I would say Queensland beats Tasmania on the Bogans..LOL
As someone who's lived a large portion of life in queensland in the entertainment industry, you notice a real lot of transients. Usually people escaping from somewhere else for possible dubious reasons.
100%. It was a culture shock for me and I grew up in Western Sydney.
Hey Ryan, the footy jersey I sent was a Hawthorn Hawks. The team is sponsored by Tasmanian Tourism, it does get confusing. Derek
I’m from Tasmania and I love living here. Life is a little more relaxed. There is always in season fresh food. Lots of distillery’s, breweries and vineyards to explore. Beautiful and diverse scenery. Great friendly people. Jump on a plane and come visit us mate. 👍🏼
I moved to Tasmania in 2014 and I love it and I love the weather. Great state and great people.
My late wife was from Huonville which is south of Hobart. It was lovely for a holiday. Not much employment to live there. Some very rugged areas where no housing could be built. Yes it can get very cold. The grandparents of my late wife would not travel on a ship or a plane, so spent their whole life in Tasmania.
Sending you so much love from a current Huonvillian ❤❤
Also,'map of tassie' means something completely different to what you would expect 😂
I love tassie, not sure where the hate thing comes into it. Very pretty, lovely spot for a holiday
I'm from South Australia and visited Tassie a few times over the years. There is nothing wrong with it at all. It has a beautiful scenic panorama and a lot of Aussie history down there. Hobart is the main city which is situated at the southern end of Tasmania. Famous names like Queen Mary from Denmark and Errol Flynn who played Robin Hood in Hollywood in the 1930s - well they hailed from there. It's got an English feel to it - like British feel. It's a cold place and that would be the reason some Aussies don't like it. But from my perspective, I loved travelling around there.
duhhh Tasmania is no florida . it is your LAST STOP BEFORE YOU LAND IN ANTARCTICA. iT IS ALSO A PARADISE.
Queensland is Australia’s version of Florida, lots of Bogans….
I AM TASMANIAN --- so this one is going to be particularly interesting.
I was born and raised in Launceston and now I'm raising my son here in this idyllic state of ours!
--> Now that I've said all of that - I'm going to start the video!!
As a QLDer I adore Tassie! Went for a week's holiday for the first time a year ago and totally fell in love! Also Ryan, you love the Tassie devil- wait til you hear about the cute little albino wallabies that are only on Bruny Island- caught sight of a few when I visited last year- adorable!
My first visit to Tassie about 10 years ago, I was in Hobart walking past the docks. Some fishing boats had come in that day. There was a guy having a piss off the dock into the water. The centre of Hobart around 2pm. 🤣🤣
Tassie is great, beautiful place with great food and people.
Love Tassie. My mum and father in-law are Tasmanian (New Norfolk & Burnie)
So much to see and do there
My grandfather had a hop farm near Ellendale
Spent many a Christmas there
Hey @Ryan, A topic you maybe interested in is the Australian State Emergency Service Known as SES. Which is volunteer based organisation that provides emergency assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. With over 44,000 volunteers spread ...we would be lost with out these precious people, so much respect for them, This video clip is 15 yrs old but does a great job of giving you a idea just how amazing they are at their jobs... State Emergency Service -Orange Angels... czcams.com/video/1oaKtovw_5I/video.html
I was a member of the VICSES for 13yrs learned a lot of valuable skills that have helped me through life
@@WickedestKar my son went into the NSW SES at age 18 for 4 yrs , as you say it gave him valuable skills and confidence that has set him up for life, thought it great that at a young age he chose to do this, hopefully one day he may return when other life proties change..
Oh, and that Two Headed joke stems from way back in the day.
The Tassie soil is naturally deficient in Iodine, so before Iodised salt and other iodised foodstuffs were developed and released there was an epidemic of hypothyroidism, or goitres.
Q. What’s standard mid-summer casual clothing in Tasmania?
A. Shorts and a puffer jacket.
I lived in Tassie 7 yeas it's a fantastic place...love the weather the people the beaches the mountain ...I left my heart there now it gets pretty hard to go back ... I'm living in Italy 🇮🇹 now....T❤SSIE...I MISS YOU
Bumblebee establishment in Tasmanian occurred on the 19th Feb. 1992. The native "Blue Banded Bee" on the mainland is also technically a bumblebee (Buzz Pollinator).
Yes, not a good thing.
Funnily enough, I lived in Tassie until 2001. First time I saw a bumblebee was when I went back in 2005 on holiday. Spread took a few years. Maybe just took time for them to make it to the north of the state.
I have lived in NSW but returned , I have heard all the joke . The Weather is unpredictable don't care you can always get warm best place. I returned after 15 yrs.
Ryan Tasmania is a state of Australia. New Zealand is a totally separate country. I was still at school when I went to Tassie for a holiday but I still have very happy memories of the trip.
Hobart is beautiful. It’s very clean and has the freshest food. The people are very friendly and nice unlike all the other states. Flying over Tasmania is amazing seeing the mountains. Seeing mount Wellington standing out over the city is amazing sight
Hey Ryan always enjoying your channel. Hobart tasmania is a stunning city. Magnificent veiws of the water and mountains snow capped often. It's seriously cold at times. Old Victorian stone buildings. Great restaurants in north hobart and the waterfront. It's an 1hr 15 flight from Melbourne. Which is really a large city. As Victorian there's definitely an an connection with our southern cousins. Along way from Indiana but worth being on the bucket list. Crisp cool sunshine filled days across stunning scenery 👍😀
I love the time of day you post these.. I’m home from work… unwinding and get to watch you react 😊 👍
Wait just finished.. did she really just say Bondi is the only beach Sydney has? 😂 maybe she shouldn’t comment if she’s never been to Sydney… there’s tons of beaches!
Ryan, the Gold Coast (Queensland), is more like Miami.
I’m a “mainlander”. I love Tassie. Enjoyed a few holidays there.
Tassie is awesome Ryan. I've lived all over Australia, but I like Tas more. People are more friendly, it's cleaner, slower paced and less commercial. People here recycle more from tip waste and reuse and repurpose heaps of stuff. Beautiful beaches, fantastic cool temperate rainforests, cool animals, snowy mountains, great fishing, the list goes on. Come on down Ryan, you won't want to leave.
Hi, I'm from Tasmania and really happy I live here and not the mainland.
Have a winge Tasmanian, get over yourself, we love Tassie, from a Victorian who lives in Adelaide 🇦🇺✌️🤙
Love you xx it's only one head having a moan, the other get is totally up for a joke ❤ love Tasmania
Managed to stay alive and out of a barrel, good work lol
I’m Australian and I don’t know anyone who hates Tasmania. All the Aussies states have a friendly rivalry with each other.
The girl who said Bondi is the only beach in Sydney and that’s why it’s always packed. Adorable.
Get rekt Sydney
Tasmania is about as south as Indiana is north, with both about latitude 40 degrees.
I love Tassie. Only in the summer though, I hate the cold. It’s good to hear that the coffee has improved 😊
I love Tassie, very quaint, cold but it’s great xx
It's cold , when you get further south in Australia into vic, s.a and tassie , get warm with a nice heater, it's really cold cold cold it's on the edge of the Antarctic winds
It’s a mild climate - haven’t you been anywhere on the planet that is really cold?
Also it dead smack in the middle of the roaring 40’s which causes most of the cold winds from the West.
-yes South Westerly’s are cold!
Im from Sydney and Love Tasmania lovely people, amazing landscape , the cleanest air and freshest food
That's a new one on me I'm a Queenslander & love Tassie.Really a beautiful place.
I live in Adelaide and I am aiming on retiring in Tassie. The weather is right up my alley.
It's fabulous. We are having our first really hot day of the summer today - going to be 36. But mostly it's comfortable early 20s.
Big love from Southern Tasmania!!
I.absolutely love tassie it’s beautiful and better with temperatures a lot more than qld my sister lives in east Devonport tassie is gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️
The new River Taxis in LONDON were bought and manufactured in Tasmania.
Yes, it has a huge boat building tradition, even do hand hewn still! 👍
Nobody hates Tassie, it's like the little brother. We poke fun at them for having two heads but that's Aussie tradition. It's beautiful and worth a visit.
We love Tasmania!!!!
Beautiful place.
Watch the "cime down for air" tourism campaign for Tassie, it's a beautiful place. It's a foodie paradise too.
The rivalry (?) Is just natural Aussie "taking the p**" 😅
I'm Tasmanian....best place in the world!
Hi Tassie from Adelaide. ❤
I'm Tasmanian too
@@jade7249 hi Tassie 😃
Love to you all from Southern Tas xx
Hello from Launceston!! No one hates Tasmania!! It's the best!!
Hi from Hobart, Tasmainia.
As a Tasmaniac😅👌, we are confident in ourselves to be able to take the ribbing we get from the mainlanders 🤷🏼♀️, oh, and we do have kangaroos, they are called the Forester kangaroo. 🤗🙋🏼♀️
Love Tasmania and the people. All beautiful. Son worked there for many years and I visited . Great for a holiday too. English and Scottish ancestors started off there. ❤❤
Bondi is Sydney’s only beach??? You gotta laugh 😂 😂😂
Every time a Tasmanian friend makes the argument of 'Its the nicest bit of Australia' 'It's where you want to live' etc., I can't help but think 'Why did you move to Perth?'
Money.
South Australians serve as a constant reminder that Tasmanians can swim. Anyone who hasn't been to Tassie really should go, you wont be disappointed.
You should watch the film 'Van Diemen's Land' (2009) if you want to see a period time piece of Tasmania back in the day.
Gday
i so want to move to tassy
when we got off the boat at devonport and got through the custom check there was ppl handing out tourist info and the 1st thing they say to me was welcome to the mainland lol
cheers
love it!
Tasmania is a great place full of natural wonders, ancient forests, the cleanest air in the world, great food and wine and friendly people. It has a dark history mainly due to the harsh Port Arthur convict settlement. Most of tasmanias towns were built with convict labour. Port Arthur is also the site of a massacre that happened on April 26 1998 where a lone gunman killed 35 people. This is the reason for Australia's current strict guns laws.
Love Tasmania and the people. All beautiful. Son worked there for many years and I visited . Great for a holiday too. English and Scottish ancestors started off there. ❤❤ 5:27
When I was in Tassie many years ago I saw a t-shirt for sale which had an image of a huge Tasmania with a tiny Australia above it with the slogan ''Let's put things in their proper perspective.'' I also had an awkward moment when a local asked where I was from and I answered ''Australia.'' I realised very quickly that I should have said ''the mainland''. I never made that mistake again.
Hi from Adelaide, I've been to Tassie and New Zealand, the south Island reminded me very much of Tassie, enjoyed them both. If I had to move from Adelaide I'd move to Tassie for sure.
Everyone l know loves Tassie , Tasmania is a beautiful place , it is so close to Melbourne it has the same phone prefix . Tasmania is nothing at all like Florida it can be very cold l wish l could have stayed longer when l was there .
Sydney has many beaches, including some hidden ones. Clearly, that Taswegian lady has only ever heard of Bondi Beach and is not even sure if it’s in Sydney.
I'm Tassie born and bred, and would never live anywhere else. We are a small Island, we don't have a huge population but we have a slower pace of life, we have amazing beaches and stunning mountains, beautiful forests and rivers and the cleanest air in the world, We drink our water straight from the tap (not all mainlanders can do that) we can drive from one end of our Island in around 1 1/2 - 2 hours, about the same time as some mainlanders spend driving to work. This amazing little place is laid back, the people are friendly, happy and funny. There are a lot of things that aren't perfect here but we'll maybe contemplate changes over a good brew with mates and family or probably not.
Vic here. He called you lot Tasmaniacs 😱
Look out the mainland have a new nickname for you lol😂
Don’t tell him it’s all friendly between us 🤐💞
Geez, your'e a fast driver! It takes 2.25 hours just to drive from Hobart to Launceston. Tasmania 'the road work state'.
@@carokat1111
Please excuse me for not being more time specific.😢
Ive been on holidays to Tasmania twice and plan to go back
Bondi the only beach in Sydney? I grew up in Sydney and went to multiple, quiet lovely beaches in Sydney from Cronulla to Palm Beach. Wollongong and Central Coast beaches are spectacular, just north and south of Sydney. Ive even been to Coogee and Clovelly beaches ( both not very far from Bondi) quite a few times. Not quiet but a great beaches. But in all my 6+ decades on this planet, ive never been to Bondi beach. And.... i used to work in walking distance of Bondi! I don't know what to think about the girl who mentioned Bondi in comparison to Tassie beaches.
I love Tassie. It's just a bit cooler than what my body likes. While on tour down there i fell in love with Desolation Bay. The architecture in Hobart was great too. I laughed at the comment about Sydney only having one beach haha.
I love tassie. I went once and drove around the north. Spoke to an American tourist. I asked if she was going to the mainland. She didn't know what i was talking about. She didn't seem to want to know. So i treated her like an American and said nothing.
BTW Tasmania does have kangaroos. We have the eastern grey here along with wallaby's and pademelons. We just don't have the big reds. We also don't have koalas or emus. We used to have emus but they were wiped out a long time ago.
No we don’t we love Tassie truly! it’s been the butt of jokes for comedians for for years why I don’t know. Tassie is a beautiful part of Australia with its amazing wildness and places to visit. And yes I get piss off then they leave Tassie of too.. 😊🇦🇺
Tasmania..Australia’s best kept secret. Anyone that visits love it. I moved to Melbourne many years ago & a friend asked if Tasmanians really considered themselves part of or an actual state of Australia! Um, yes we do!!
And Surfing - the Westerly Winds drive consistent surf onto the West Coast for those with experience
Hate is such a strong word. It's brotherly love. Like a "special" sibling :)
True hate is what we save for the government.
Have never met a person who hates Tasmania? Must be thinking of Queensland 😂 I think the “dark history” part was in relation to the convict population, port Arthur massacre, deliberate extinction of the Tasmanian tiger and the absolutely especially horrendous treatment of Indigenous people in Tasmania (the population was almost entirely wiped out after colonisation, and it is a really dark smudge on Tasmania’s history).
The AFL jersey you have is for Hawthorn. While Tasmania is on the jersey, as the Tasmanian government is one of their major sponsors, it is actually a suburb of Melbourne.
