No Spray Zone = Save the Bees (it’s where the landholder has registered to have No herbicides used by Councils on the side of the road in front of their property) Thanks for doing Tassie again and apologies for the bureaucracy but hey “we’re not flash but we are expensive ……” 😂

[@_mywayaround]

Nek minute Harry puts on the velcro gloves to " go help the sheep"😂

[@krisherrick9126]

I just heard recently about those same filming permits for KZbinrs in America in national parks, someone took them to court and judge ruled that they were unconstitutional. Different story for huge camera crews… maybe you can bring about the change that’s needed!

[@mungbean84]

Unfortunately our constitution is not nearly as useful or amended as the US.

[@Adam-pt7dd]

The 'No Spray' signs tell the roads guys that they aren't to use weed killer in that area. Usually used around hippies and organic producers. (also Lunch)

[@katebeaty9435]

Loved the episode as always. I love that when u are comparing lunch spots u still refer to the Dargo pub!! That’s close to home for me and so excited you got to experience and enjoy the beauty of our high country and it continues to show through. Something we are so proud of here in Gippsland 😊

[@sirskidney7998]

Hey harry, another great episode. Your lunch at the Pub in the Paddock looked like an amazing experience. Thanks for the video.

[@Bigcountry_littlelegs]

If a farm is organic certified they have to have a certain buffer zone between the farm and where herbicide and pesticide spraying is to retain there certification.

[@UnPetitPique]

Loved the final song sequence! Thanks, great vid.

[@alanjohnston243]

Absolute cracking series guys, thanks for sharing……safe travels 🍺🍺

[@user-ik2xh1pj9h]

Another great video, loved your 'LUNCH' at the Pub in the Paddock. Enjoying watching your videos and going back over the years, its a good distraction from losing our baby, and getting inspo for our Upcoming 6 night camping trip. 😊 Thanks Harry!

[@thomasroyal2772]

Great series! It's almost like we were with you. Thanks again from NE Florida.

[@rogertrimper3093]

Great to meet you at yet Adelaide 4wd show. 👌. LUNCH.

[@neos_adventures]

That fish and chips for lunch with a view.... Nice 👍. But holy hell that steak and mushy burger had me slipping on my drool for hours!

[@henryklaus9261]

No sprat zones are for water catchment areas so your lunch isn’t full of pesticides and weed killers. Also for organic farm zoned areas

[@JoshSinnott97]

Anybody else not getting notifications for ftf videos even though I've turned the bell on to receive all notifications?

[@paulbattley5285]

Good to see you made sure you rehydrated during your lunch. 🍻

[@stuartcrawford1]

Looking forward to having lunch on the SOT in September 2024 when we head over for a 28 day trip, taking in all your points of interest. Thanks for making the $ effort.

[@Simon_82]

Hey mate, have a look at the oztent folding side tables. They work a treat and you can leave the bracket attached when folding the chair up. Awesome to use when you have "lunch" tins!

[@stephenburford54]

Must get down to Tassie again, last time was in '84. So many nice spots for lunch. :) So many nice pubs (my happy place)

[@syc008]

Good to get a walk in before lunch. Nice.

[@peterbeard5362]

Thanks for the tips Harry, currently doing a west to east trip. Heading to Tassie on Nov 18 for 3 weeks so “ Lunch “ will be on the cards. Had to come to Victoria for a family wedding, so hook up the camper trailer & do the apple isle in the process. It ain’t cheap but we’re not planning on taking it with us. We’re only 70 so we’ve got a few weeks left before gods waiting room scores the next trip to parts unknown 😅

[@seanchristie7150]

Thanks for an awesome episode, took me back to our 10 day tour in a campervan. Would prefer the lunch at the pub in the paddock rather than the lobster shack. Pretty sure the no spray zone is to do with organic farming due to the smaller nature of the farms there rather than the size of the farms on the mainland. Love the view in the sauna

[@jaydenpepperell-finn2011]

I’m not even here to comment the code word. This outro with the early 2000s teenybopper, romcom music is fantastic.

[@M1n1Mouse]

Family adventure is everything, As a single lady with small caravan when stopping instead of putting the jockey wheel down I put the caravan wheel ramp behind me car wheels and back up on those it levels the van and should the unforgivable happen and I need a quick get away I can leave the ramps behind. For example years ago the van beside us caught fire and I will never forget that quick getaway option.

[@colinclarke3338]

One option with the swag on the stretcher is to lay a tarp over the stretcher, under the swag. This keeps anything under the stretcher dry and reduces the wind flow which will keep you warmer. Any rain will run off the swag and then down the tarp. Stretcher stays dry.

[@travispix2121]

the rain runs down onto the tarp and you end up with your swag in a puddle.. it is easier to wrap your tarp around the swag and leave the zip side open/ overlapped.

[@TroubleMaker4WD]

Nice work as always Fish …. Tassie is a special place

[@jenbolst]

Man I want a pub lunch at Pub in the paddock. Love love love, the old pubs in Tas

[@KarlEller]

I've added a stretcher to my swag, and I'll never go back to being on the ground. It's so much easier to get in and out of the swag, way more comfortable, don't need to worry about the ground being lumpy, and wet ground you've already mentioned. I've slept through some chilly nights (-2-ish°C) and haven't noticed any difference in temperature compared to being on the ground, you tend to lose heat into the earth anyway. Could be different if it's properly cold, but I haven't had that opportunity yet. It's an extra thing to pack, and an extra expense, but it's well worth it.

[@woofhound]

The costs for you to travel to Tasmania were stupidly ridiculous. For those of us that travel on a budget, Tasmania is just out of the question now.

[@Crackandsmoke]

Are you talking about the travel cost or the parks permit for filming?

[@darrenbrumby3292]

It's no dearer than travelling from Tasmania to the mainland. Unfortunately that stretch of water is expensive.

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

When you get a good Pub Lunch, it can make a day. But campfire cooking beats it hands down. Thanks for the videos. Russell

[@bonezed]

with your battery terminals, you can wrap them in alfoil or even a bit of discarded copper pipe as a "temporary" measure. anyway, time for lunch!

[@bree.bonnie]

Love your editing when it comes to your endings

[@UnPetitPique]

Completely agree

[@danielgarland5778]

Keep up the great videos (lunch)

[@janetdTas]

Thank you for showing people that you can not do a decent trip in Tasmania in one day. I have lived her my entire life and still haven't seen probably close to half of it. Sorry there is so much red tape in being allowed to film though

[@cmwb]

Thankyou for your tassie videos, they were great 👍 i would have loved to of had the chance to catch up with you for 'LUNCH' while you were done here in tas 😊

[@chefcamsey1375]

Great work I reckon that put that wasnt open for lunch would've been alright

[@erycbloodaxe]

lunch sauna looked a treat

[@richardwalsh5570]

Pour bi carb soda with water on battery terminals will clean them a treat.

[@paulhinds7438]

Hey harry loved the tassie episodes. My plan is to retire over therer. Next time do the drive from waratah to zeehan via corinna. Absolutley fantastic drive.

[@alittlewander]

Picked some nice places and looked beautiful for some LUNCH

[@Shaggawagon]

The fish van next to the spring bay hotel in Triabunna has some of the best sea food in Tassie, just saying!

[@mrpanda39]

Bummer! There is great fish and chips in Triabunna!

[@Oceanic_Adventures]

Some of those beers look very juicy Harry Touring Tassie (covering as much as we can quickly) with kids would you recommend towing a van over from WA or just hire a car and air bnb etc?

[@Australiz]

Love the video. Lunch

[@emmagilham3708]

You gotta love Lunch in the paddock 😂

[@trevorhicks7852]

What type of Oztent chairs are they? Desperately need some comfy ones for a snooze after LUNCH!!!

[@leepannett2086]

If you have hot water available, pour it over the dirty battery terminals, and terminal clamps.Great way to clean to bad terminal connections. Old man trick!!

[@estelleschmidt2243]

Hi, I enjoyed the video of your road trip of Tassie. Where is the cute pub and what’s it called please? I think you said it was in Derby? Thank you. 🙂🏕️

[@scottstevens7577]

that would be such an awesome spot for LUNCH right there

[@toomasnelson4561]

I have spent a bit of time in Tassie, about a year and a half, sometime working sometimes traveling. My advice to people is you can hire a car and see Tassie in five days, probably on one tank of fuel. Your trip was quite in depth and different.

[@cmwb]

I have to strongly disagree! We travelled around tassie two years ago on our honeymoon for two and a half weeks going flat out trying to cover as much ground as we could only staying at most things long enough to have a quick look then take a photo. There are still lots we ran out of time to see at all and I have so many places I want to go back to have the chance to explore and experience more.

[@raynewman4904]

Absolutely brilliant scenery, luv the Lunch. I would never though a you tuber would need a filming permit. I can understand a permit for the national Park service. But the compliance is getting out of control.

[@ryandoyle221]

Triabunna is pronounced Try a banana 🍌 (well that’s what I call it anyway) note: They are not known for their bananas but the fish van you were close to is next level

[@swompa]

Thought we were going to see lamb catch and cook!

[@justinrdermody7836]

( lunch ) Harry where can I buy the fire/cooker you are travelling with on this trip I love the look and functionality of it and those steak and mushroom rolls looked bloody amazing

[@darrenschmidtke2843]

Its from OZ BRAAI, its called Braai 2.0. I have just purchased one and its a great piece of kit

[@Josh-nx2zw]

Camping lunch would be much better with a good camp cooking cookbook

[@OTRWA]

Must have spent as much on pub lunches as just putting through the paperwork to have the pub lunch on television...lol...keen to see what your up to next. Take care...oh and yeah...said already...us garden keepers in WA don't want bees to die from pesticides so we don't use them...must be huge down there. Good on em.

[@cameroncunningham9033]

Was that the spring bay distillery?? Some of the best whisky in the country

[@holidaymail]

Anywhere in Tassie is perfect for lunch

[@thenameiwantedwastaken]

I love a good sauna. 20min in the heat. 5min in the water. Another 20min in the heat. Another 5min in the water. You finish up feeling better than you ever have in your life. Good (but hard) if you’re hungover too

[@allenvanklooster528]

How good is lunch? Sucks about the permits needed though.

[@christied3645]

Rock lobster and pork crackling for LUNCH ☀️

[@drfishynooooo881]

Would you buy a Delica if you were to do this trip again?

[@michaelandmitchk4812]

I think the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service owe you a free lunch for what they've cost you

[@wadesta1986]

Dinner looked much better than LUNCH

[@madisonray3949]

Can’t believe you went to the Lobster Shack and did not get the Lobster Roll!!! They are literally known for it

[@fatman5514]

Anywhere in Tassie is great for LUNCH

[@zacjohnson869]

Oh lunchy lunch yum I love lunch

[@kennethwalker4302]

Always time for a pub "Lunch"

[@nickchivers4129]

Nothing like a cold beer with lunch.

[@toddavis8151]

Did you ever watch A Country Practice where they had the beer drinking pig?

[@annpassfield8688]

Lunch ❤

[@Tom-lf8hx]

So delly 2.0 is a ute chop and chassis extention? Ahahahahahahah....keen to see what it really is 🤔

[@chrisboje2651]

What did you have for lunch?

[@mickusms700]

ps "no spray zone" has something to do with council weed spraying i think? pps im not a taswegan

[@trevorsharpham2112]

any commercial photography/ videography company/sole trader has to pay for permits/insurance for public property

[@firetofork]

😂😂😂😂

[@pictorien]

Pub Lunch FTW

[@travishudson66]

Having to pay for access after paying for permits would make me lose my Lunch

[@louiskudlak2241]

You can’t do anything these days without having to pay overpriced charges, one day everywhere will be too expensive to go

[@jorggrozinger921]

Bit harsh making you pay access to the park after slogging you for the permits. That park access money could have paid for “lunch”

[@veronicarose4681]

Wasnt the fish and chips you had for lunch that took your voice away was it.

[@lukebishop3932]

Lunch Hombre!

[@shaynedixon]

LUNCH please

[@voodoocruiser2543]

"Good luck with editing all this shit" haha

[@sam_pedro3702]

That sheep is ok , he's got his mouth with him

[@ever-eddy8541]

Tasmania authorities having free "Lunch" at expense of a Videographer showing off Tassie's wonders.

[@westralianoffroad]

2 blokes, 1 van, no spray.

[@63off]

Harry Fisher, sheep whisperer.

[@doradosurfcharters]

The DNA holiday to find out why your parents have the same surname there's a reason they don't want you filming 😂

[@Larkinzz94]

so what did you end up having for LUNCH on that day

[@mickusms700]

Lunch Munch Crunch Hunch Punch Bunch thats all i got

[@trackstic85]

You can’t afford luxuries in Tassie with all the permits you require there. You’ll need to eat the dates off the calendar for lunch.

[@potedude]

Let us buy you a lunch.

[@paulkenny7363]

Love Tassie

[@SHOCKcustoms]

Lunch

[@darrenleoniejai]

"LUNCH"

[@Peter57808]

The current rules in Tassie are what's coming for the mainland as labour bends over to the greens to get their policies approved.

[@mick9371]

$45 to go walk in the bush ?……something is wrong

[@PangNSmitten]

Lunch?

[@johnboudreau5135]

LUNCH
