Our Taste of Tassie! | Spirit of Tasmania | Weekend Getaway

We are super excited to share our journey to Tassie with you! After trying to get on the ship for so long, we decided to just take the Landcruiser and have a romantic weekend away together, no caravan, dad, son or dog. We whipped around the top of half of Tassie in 2 days seeing the most amazing sights but not being able to film it all due to laws over there. Come on the journey and see what we get up to and how you can prepare for your next trip to Tassie.

Hey there, spirit of Tas worker here! Just regarding taking veggies back on the ship, you are absolutely more than welcome to take as much produce from Tasmania to Geelong as you like it’s only restricted when entering Tasmania due to the states bio-security, 11:17

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thank you 😊, Yes, we found the out coming back. thanks for sharing 👍

[@slinca]

You both look so relaxed. Good for you. So lovely to see. Great vid. Love all the food shots in Tassie. YUM!!!

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thank you 😊. Tassie produces some amazing food 😍 😋 ❤️

[@dotwillcoxson5352]

Love the music tonight. Looking forward to the trip.

[@Kimmyvee1971]

I hated the music. No more of the clown music, please

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks so much, Dot 🙏

[@JourneyUnknown]

Seems pretty hard to keep you happy, Kimmie 🤔

[@joannesheppard5831]

Thanks Laura & Troy, another great video with some awesome drone shots, Tasmania really is so beautiful.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks for watching and commenting 😍

Thanks for sharing your quick Tasmania trip. Tasmania is an amazing destination, from the friendly people to the phenomenal food/produce. Totally different to any other Australian State, reminds me of the South Island of New Zealand. Surprised you appeared to only spend a few days there with the cost of taking a car over.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Yep, it's a natural wonder ❤️. We'll absolutely get back there. True, it was a short trip, we had booked a long time ago. and reluctantly had to get back to Vic for other commitments.

[@sonyawest-cb8oo]

next time you’re at the ice cream shop try the peach and lemon Myrtle..so yummy. And the veggie and homemade goodies is always my go to place when I’m up Scottsdale way. That little blue lake there is a camping area on the other side from where you were standing but I’m not sure where you get into it I’ve not been there but I’ve had family that have. Gets very popular over Xmas.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks, we definitely will 😋. Ahh ok we thought there would've been another entry. It will be worth a look on our next visit ❤️ 😍

[@bradtottman1425]

You won me at the icecream..can’t wait to go!😜😂😂😂

[@JourneyUnknown]

Don't go for the blood orange ice cream 🤣 😂

We love Tassie, such a great place! 😊

it's the best 👌 😍

Hi Guys Thanks for the coverage of where I live. You are able to take most fruit and Vegs from Tas to the mainland The Caravan park (Tasman) you stayed at is very good as a food spot (Parkside Bar and Kitchen) and there is an Australian award winning French Resturant (Furneaux) in St Helens that the food is to die for. The pod cast you mentioned although a story of a sad event with this child taking her life there has been another inquest where the findings that there was no other persons involved.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks for sharing. Yes, we worked out that we could bring back veggies to the mainland on our way back. Tasmania restaurant quality is amazing 😋 ❤️ 😍.

[@NicoleElmer-s8q]

Nice ! We used to live at St Helens and fished and played in all those areas. Shame about the weather (that's why we left 😂) . Try using prawns next time for the bream in trout Creek 😉 some stonkers in there !

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks Nicole, omg if Tasmania had Qld weather, everyone would live there 😍. Haha, Troy needs all the fishing tips possible at this stage 🙏 😄

[@papa7745]

Guys I like the way you put the names of places on the screen in the new van colour scheme

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thank you 😊 🙏

[@TomWilding1]

One day I’ll have a land cruiser 300 series. One day. Might be a 700 by then 😂 Great vid - love Tassie.

[@JourneyUnknown]

You won't be disappointed 😍. thanks Tom 👍 🙏

[@MAD-HATTER-1996]

nice little insight to tassi we are heading. there in jan with. caravan and dogs . first time going. any. tips or must dose spots with the dogs also some sneaky little off grid camping spots yous have found over the years ect ?

[@JourneyUnknown]

That's awesome 💖. Oh, there are so many amazing spots all up along the East Coast. Even heading inland, you'll find some gems. Trout Reserves a great little camping spot and dog friendly 👌

[@MAD-HATTER-1996]

@@JourneyUnknown cheers will go check. out trout reserves. for sure

[@margarethollins6531]

Went to Tassie about 6 years ago and totally recommend going and seeing "The Wall" at Derwent River going from East to West from Queenstown or From East to West from Hobart. A guy is carving a huge wall back to front with depictions of all around Tasmania. Amazing. Unfortunately you cannot take photos but it is beautiful. We were recommended to go and see it from friends.

[@JourneyUnknown]

@margarethollins6531 That sounds very interesting. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

[@theadmiral7726]

We spent 3 months with our van this year. It was $2000 rtn with cabin both way and we were 14mtr long. It was good value. Tassie was great but3 months was in our opinion to long.

[@JourneyUnknown]

That's great 👍. Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@JacksonBiggles]

Thats a cool car you followed onto the ship.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Yeah it was a great looking machine he was a little concerned about his fuel consumption 😆

My old home town st helens we're now in south Gippy not far from your farm lol,

[@JourneyUnknown]

😍 it can be a very similar climate 😂

[@philbromleysphotography8414]

love Tassie you might have to look into Commercial Filming and Photography Licence would have been good filming going across the cataract gorge chairlift. Going back ourselves next year will have to check out the Springfield farm produce it looks great 👍

[@JourneyUnknown]

Tassie has some amazing produce. 😋. We looked into a permit to film. it's unaffordable and not worth it at the end of the day.

[@terrydennis467]

You can take fruit and veg from Tasmania to Victoria.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks Terry, yes we worked that out on our way back, unfortunately 😕

[@brianhignett8954]

Troy, and Laura, we watch all your videos, and enjoy them immensely. We caravan and tow with a 300 - just a question Troy, are you using 0w20 or as Toyota suggests 5w30 oil for high speed or extreme load conditions (towing)? Seems that the lower viscosity 0w20 oil is controversial for hotter Australian conditions, particularly if the vehicle is worked hard. Respectful KZbin videos from Just Autos and Engine care are finding spun big end bearings from this thinner 0W20 oil.

[@JourneyUnknown]

Hi Brian, Thanks for watching and supporting our channel 👍. lve spoken to Toyota about changing our oil to 5/30 for the reason you've mentioned. The service department won't change it. They said Toyota specifically wants them to put 0/20 oil in. personally, l think that's ridiculous as it is specified in the manual either 0/20 or 5/30 for hot conditions. l mentioned to Toyota. We'll change it to 5/30 ourselves. they said, "That's fine 🤔

[@brianhignett8954]

@@JourneyUnknown Thanks for your answer Troy, similar situation with a dealer here in Adelaide, although they did say - reluctantly - they would change our 300 to 5w30 at the next service. (Jan. 25 ) However, after quite a discussion with the gentleman at the service desk, they strongly suggested we stick with 0W20. It's got something to do with emissions, and slightly better fuel economy, I believe. I feel they don't even carry 5W30 in the service department, we would probably have to supply our own ...

[@baumie461]

Nice music 😉🍻❤️

[@JourneyUnknown]

😂 classic 👍

[@johnpitt2742]

i think you would be up the creek trying to catching trout

[@JourneyUnknown]

💯 😆 🤣

[@geoffchandler9359]

I like it when you go fishing cause you neve catch nothing cause your using a fresh water lure not a trout fly

[@JourneyUnknown]

Thanks Geoff that's why l call it fishing, not catching. l have caught many trout on spinning lures in the past 😍

[@geoffchandler9359]

@@JourneyUnknown I'll be excited to see it on your vid one day lol

The cabin is very average. What’s with the walls??? Cheap balsa wood?

It's actually called Marine Ply Kimmy. a very modern way of cladding walls. We loved it ❤️
