I was on holiday in Tasmania in September - early October 2008 and I still often miss being down there. It would have to be the loveliest holiday destination I've ever been to in my life. It's hard to believe that seven years have already gone by since then, as I still remember it like it was yesterday.
An accurate portrayal of the best kept secret in Australia. Visited May 2014 and very much taken with the place. It has everything without the problems of a big city.
@Faqyur Ma'ama Hey thanks,I think you mean the restaurant, ganges in Elizabeth St. mall probably...Getting more and more used to Hobart...It's clean,quiet,scenic and laid back....Also the people here are very nice.
@@rajkishore95 - there are chronic traffic congestion problems and crisis housing problems....nothing like a country town...this is a sanitised, tourism driven portrayal of the city
So far Hobart is my favourite city in Australia. I was only there for a few hours but it was so pretty and chilled, which can tend to be quite the opposite of Sydney.
I've been there just a week ago. Tasmania is so beautiful, filled with amazing people, food, wineries, landscapes. Really great place to retire or just live forever happy :)
I spent more than half a year in 2011 in a town called Berridale. Suburbs of Hobart, right near Mona, It was the most peaceful time of my life and I still want to feel peace there.
im just cameback from Hobart. its beautiful city. first thing to do go to market salamca bought the bagel was yum . must visit place is mount wellington very awesome. and to Richmond. both tour is $50 its worth it. visit information centre. the next day hve lunch in cruise 1,5 hour $35 its worth it. went to zoodoo wildlife park. what a fun feeding same animal by train. don't forget visit botanical garden was very awesome view and free entry. next day is explore city and eat fish and chips in whrf.. if I have more time would love to go to bruny island.
glad you went to Richmond, it's underrated, did you do the maze and see Doo Town and Devil's Kitchen? If you're in that area you should have gone to Port Arthur!
@@Asdfghjkl-zk4jteven though it is closer to the equator than the British Isles, but it has a similar climate because there is a significant lack of land in the roaring 40’s, so it has a temperate maritime climate unlike locations at the equivalent latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere.
missing home :(( moved to the mainland a few years ago to the mainland, and while it was depressing down there at time, still feels like home to me, i only get to go down maybe once a year :((
I live in Tassie 😃, It isn't a very big place. You can drive from the top of Tasmania to as far down as you can go in about 5-6 hours. You can travel across (also as far as you can go) the middle of Tasmania in 3-4 hours. The whole western side of tassie is wilderness which is why you can get from one beach too another when crossing it sideways. Hobart isn't very big at all from the other cities I have seen but just don't blink and you won't miss it😂😂😂
Sydney = Beach and Ferry Canberra = Political Melbourne = Hipster Hobart = Prison Adelaide = Historic Perth = Famous people Darwin = Military Brisbane = Parks BONUS: Gold Coast = SURFERS
Have you ever heard of the small Tasmanian town of Lunawanna? Nope? Just as I suspected. We can change all this. Using the Franz Ferdinand hit Do You Wanna? Yes. You heard right. Use this song - change the catchy chorus from do you wanna to Lunawanna. Then your answer to the original question would be different.
Expedia I love love love your videos but when will you India... just a suggestion... Anyways your editing is always on point.. over all the work is amazing...
Job well done Expedia - what a beautiful clip, very brief yet so detailed...the soundtrack really compliments the video - mind if I ask what the track is called??
Woolongong is a suburb of Sydney. A big suburb, granted, but a suburb nonetheless. You can't examine the joys of wollongong without noticing the rest of Sydney.
I live in Hobart, and even though the houses can be expensive our quality of life is very high. I'm not kidding when I say everything is twenty minutes away, from most suburbs here anywhere you would need to go is a 15-25 minute drive. Traffics only a problem in the rush hour of if there has been an accidentt. Most of our suburbs are very safe, and we have a lot of parks, shops or other facilities. You can drive like half an hour out of the centre of the city and you're in beautiful bushland. I would definitely recommend moving here as I love living here and everyone else seems to enjoy it as well.
@@Jaydenloa2003 Hiya! I would say most of this is still absolutely true. And I firmly believe that Hobart can be an amazing place to come, especially to visit. I would love to know whereabouts you are from for some more context. But as a tourist here are some must visit places: Salamanca and the Harbour (beautiful old warehouses and modern bars and restaurants), Battery Point (a charming neighbourhood that is like stepping back in time), Mt Wellington for panoramic views of the city, MONA (must see!), Richmond (a charming little town outside of hobart), and tbh Hobart has great restaurants and cafes so depending on how long you are here for, taking it easy and just enjoying the food and scenic views is always a safe bet. Let me know if you have any other questions!
The nature is nice, people are friendly, but...oh, there is no insulation on the houses, and winters are chilly, so it is frickin cold then, and in summers it is frickin hot. No heating in living rooms, you are freezing cold. I hated that. I still do not understand how to live like this?
0:51 has been pulled apart for "maintaince" for god knows how long. 1:05 Also known as stale. This is mostly because of Federal under investment in the State for Generations. 1:18 Stroll, because even in a Capital with less people than most Victorian Rural towns, traffic is as bad as Port Melb. 1:20 Just one meal though it will cost you the soul of your first born child, there are cheaper and better places to eat. 1:24 Overpriced like you would not believe. 2:28 Operates every Saturday only from 8.30am till about 12-1pm (official close is 3 but its fairly dead hours before this) Mostly only full of toursit nick nack trash at tourist gouging prices. The rest of this video is not too misleading and gives a farily accurate portrayal of Hobart, though it is missing a large amount of its litter and Graffiti. (why they used so few close angles of Hobart City itself)
In Hobart, many of the parents ignore traffic laws with their children. Many of these parents are civil servants. Youth in Tasmania deserve law-abiding, ethical and conscientious civil servants. Their future depends upon it. Let's double traffic fines in capital cities and watch law-abiding streets and adults appear, in Hobart!!
what the hell are you talking about, have you seen the way people drive in Melbourne? Hobart drivers are pretty relaxed and courteous, it has one of the lowest car accident rates in the country - they don't call it Slowbart for nothing!
@@carokat1111 Hobart is where ethics and civic duty are less important than rugby and cricket, Cupcake. A poop fest with pretty ribbons and tourism. Yawn!
@@martinkent333 I have no idea what you are talking about, but that's OK. Your'e entitled to your opinion. I'm just glad to live in this beautiful city.
how about some major cities Kolkata, Mumbai or Bangalore huh? They're not ENTIRELY poverty stricken. They have ample of well connected and wide roads . Please look into this Expedia
+Soumik Banerjee - We would love to do some more Indian destinations but unfortunately it's been difficult to acquire the correct permits to shoot each destination. We will keep trying though.
Wesley Jean-Pierre why does it matter what skin colour you are? Incidentally, My ancestor was sent to Hobart as a convict by the British in the 1850s. His grandmother was a slave from Tobago in the West Indies.
they weren't criminals as we know today.. they were sent to tasmania for doing petty things like stealing bread and sent to jail and to work for such stupid reasons.
