We Didn't Expect This From Tasmania! (24 hours in Hobart) | Road Trip Vlog 1

You won't believe how amazing Tasmania is! Australia has been hiding this gem from us for too long, so we're in Hobart to start a road trip around the state... Check out these crazy cheap flights to Tasmania: geni.us/VADDbhB ⬇ See below for more details and recommendations ⬇
Welcome to Hobart for the start of our Tasmania road trip! We're spending the next week road tripping around Tassie, over to Bruny Island, up the East Coast, then inland to Cradle Mountain.
We've heard stories about Tasmania for years now, after a while you start to wonder how true the yarns are and end up with more questions than answers:
- Is an island off an island really necessary?
- Surely it doesn’t actually snow in Tasmania?
- Can the food and drink genuinely compete with New Zealand?
- Is road tripping the best option?
- Wait, there's white sand beaches?
On this trip we'll figure that all out, kick starting things off in this vlog with some of the top things to do in Hobart: Salamanca markets, Mount Wellington and Cascade Brewery.
The Salamanca markets have been a Saturday tradition for over 50 years, so make sure you tee it up to align with your own trip! They draw locals and tourists from all over to check out the local produce, crafts, and live music.
Kunanyi Mount Wellington is an iconic peak overlooking Hobart. Snow in winter, hikes, bike trails and wildlife - all that within a quick 30 minute drive up the hill!
After a lot of research, this is the hotel we stayed at in Hobart - low price, great location, good reviews: geni.us/XCPMxk
Also, take a look at how cheap the fares are to Tasmania here: geni.us/VADDbhB
This trip around Tasmania is from a week long road trip from August 2023. Tasmania is a seriously epic part of Australia and is perfect for a good road tip - from the food, the people, the nature, the wild life, the wine - it's got it all going on! We highly recommend you travel there ASAP, if you plan on that, please consider using some of our links and recommendations from the below to support the channel:

Check out the cheapest airfares with Jetstar here! geni.us/VADDbhB

[@yoshie-]

Watching you guys having so much fun laughing and goofing together makes me chuckle 😂. You guys are raising the bar for couple goals way too high 🥰

[@richiereid100]

Great to see you continue travels in my beautiful home state of Tassie. And yes we happily claim to be the third island of NZ after being dropped off the national Aussie map a few times in my life! Safe travels and thanks for sharing 👏👏

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha we've been dropped off the world map a few times as well, Tassie and NZ can just form our own thing aye?

[@TravelbyDartTV]

It's like a place where the landscapes are so breathtaking, you'll start wondering if the air is thinner because you can't catch your breath and even the wallabies hop to a rhythm that sounds suspiciously like 'Waltzing Matilda'! Kidding aside, this makes me crave for an Australian adventure and I hope that my dart would let me experience this!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha love the concept of the dart! Keep doing cool things!

[@LaurenandScott]

Best city to live in Australia. Great scenery, doesn’t rain much, food and craft beer scene, along with elite wine and whiskey. Awesome for outdoors people with lots of hiking, running and cycling routes. Homely feel, less stress, easy going and quiet. Moved here during the pandemic from Victoria, best decision ever made.

[@SanctusPaulus1962]

If you mainlanders keep moving here, it won't have much of a "homely feel" for long

[@LaurenandScott]

@@SanctusPaulus1962 cry more

[@Eva-oe3se]

@@LaurenandScott Most of the time days are gloomy :(

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha forget the haters below, you guys do you! Glad you're loving it, we can totally see why

[@garymason8191]

While your there check out Shipsterns Hotel at Battery Point, full of Sydney to Hobart yacht racing history, 5 mins from Salamenca!!

[@alwayslauramay624]

I live for the bloopers, great vlog both! :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Glad to hear! Thanks so much

[@jasehatcher8283]

Never wanted to visit Tasmania before watching this series. Thank you!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Whoop, add it to the list!

[@WaveFlightSimulations]

we need a bloopers or extended cut on a second channel :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha we'll try keeping more in the future - cos we were also filming for Jetstar it means we have a bit more organised phrases at times that we mess up, but our vlogs are just more walk and chat kinda thing

[@emme8711]

Loving the vibes in this ep. Your happymotions are on point. Can’t wait for the rest of the series 👍

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Hope you loved them all, now for South American adventures!

[@meicazh]

Aww i love tassie that my first home here in Australia! I also have the same reaction like stacy when she saw snow. Lol my first snow experience is lock up in the hotel room in launceston doing hotel quarantine. Love the first video on your tassie adventure but i got a hint your going to brunny island too! I can’t wait to see that one. I also made a small video of our travels in tassie. Can you guys come to Western Australia next. We’re currently living in Perth so much to see here. I’m going to go visit rottnest island tomorrow so excited for that 😊

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We're a bit late on comments (been in South America!) but hopefully you've seen the next one and others by now - Bruny was SO freaking cool

[@nikkilogan7726]

Love Tasmania, Australia! Thanks Dane & Stacey 😎🦘

[@Emma-vn9zt]

Glad you stopped in at Lost Freight for a coffee! Hope it was worth the drop in :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

1000% worth it!

[@lorrainepannetier]

I love the giggly, lighthearted energy of this vlog! Stacey excitedly saying 'snowwwww' was up there with seeing penguins! We're coming to Australia and New Zealand in 2024 and I can't wait to experience some of the places you've shared in your videos. Thank you for all the inspiration, fun and laughter. 🤩

[@DanegerAndStacey]

So happy to help put new places on your bucket list for your trip!! Yay for that.

[@emsta0236]

I loved the humour in this. I’m totally Stacey with the bus sign at the brewery 😂😂

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha love that - that's a pretty common kind of moment for us, we need to capture more of them 😂😂

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Harriet and I have a cousin who lives in Hobart. Hobart has that hometown charm where everybody knows your name. We have been there a few times. It's has it's foodie and brewery scene. Hope you enjoyed your time there. Sending much love❤ from Richmond, Virginia Harriet, Jim and Yuki P.S. Harriet and I have a bet that if I buy tickets this fall for Flyer games you would not come. Who wins that bet ? Hmmm.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

It's such an amazing scene, still got those amazing small town feels though. Flyers game is on the bucket list! It's been an up and down start to the season, but even with travels I've managed to catch up on every game but one

[@maryellendillon4469]

Perfect timing! I’m starting to research for cruises in Australia and New Zealand in early 2025. Thanks for your great content!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Hope you can find an amazing Tassie one!

[@sorelles_world]

Loving seeing you guys having so much fun! Side note: aussies say scallop the way kiwis do - it’s the states who pronounce it “scaaall-op”🎉

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Phew! That's good to hear haha!

[@CheekyKoala]

I’ve just discovered your channel- you guys are fantastic! As a former Tasmanian, I have to say: well done on hitting the market that early in the day! As the day goes on, it becomes more & more busy & crowded & not to mention, impossible to find parking anywhere nearby! I definitely had flashbacks to childhood trips up the mountain with the biting cold & the snow - although back then it didn’t have anywhere to escape the weather & of course if it was a good winter, you could get to decent snow without going up to the top so that you didn’t freeze your butt off! I can’t believe people didn’t warn you about needing to wear gloves though!! 😂😂😂 - as far as views, whilst the mountain is by far the best, in winter, your best option is probably going to be up the top of mount nelson unless it’s a clear day!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Glad you found us and thanks for commenting! Yup, with all the amazing recommendations we got, not one of them mentioned gloves 😂 To be fair, I'm sure you've seen it up there in much worse conditions but it was chilly for us

[@CheekyKoala]

@@DanegerAndStacey - once that wind starts biting through you, temperature & conditions are irrelevant- I have no doubt that you froze your asses off 😉😉

[@Psychphuq]

Did you notice the "Colab" tap at the brewery...? When I went to Cascade, they had a colab with Hobart Brewing Co. called "Jam on Toast"... It was a Schwarzbier with raspberry ale...

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Didn't spot that, wish I did... though aint no way I'm drinking that raspberry ale haha

[@brokenlimitsnjm]

Nice to see you both enjoyed Tassie.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We LOVED it

[@christopherroach264]

Lost Freight/The Springs? If you're after views walk from there to Sphynx Rock. About 30min round trip.

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Great video looks like a very interesting place to visit 😊 . Looked very Cold & the snow how sweet 💕definitely going for the warmer air after this trip😜. Loved the Bloopes 😜😜 Have a Good weekend 🥰

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@family.fire.by.2025]

Looks nice even during winter!

[@stephaniegruenberg7044]

Just the intro itself is enough to make you want to visit!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Awwww yay for that!

[@bookwormfaith]

Brave, visiting in winter haha! But this looks like its going to be such an awesome itinerary! Looking forwards to see where you're going.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

That's what we thought at the time, but gotta risk it for the biscuit!

[@soceraris]

From a Tassie local, Mt. Wellington was always known as Mt. Wellington. Kunanyi label was recently added to signage within the last 10-15 years and I wouldn't of known the mountain's indigenous name until its more recent references.

[@SanctusPaulus1962]

Can confirm. I've lived here all my life and have never heard a single person refer to Mount Wellington by its aboriginal name, except if they were intentionally going out of their way to be politically correct. Most of us just refer to it as "the mountain" anyway

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Interesting to know, but not really surprising. Same goes in NZ with a lot of our Maori names having more commonplace now

[@DimaManuel]

Thanks for this new series! Want to visit at some point :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Hope you loved the series!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Such an amazing trip and entire trip actually!

[@edenbrown9382]

Love following along with you guys.! Can't wait for Welly vids. You should def come to South Wairarapa. Martinborough is a wonderful wine village that is a must do. Greytown is a lovely boutique town with great food. Our coast line is stunning too.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We will! Martinborough is 100% on the list even just for a day trip to sip our way around!

[@edenbrown9382]

@@DanegerAndStacey omg that's so exciting! Highly recommend Poppies for lunch. The venue is gorgeous and food platter amazing. Often the owners are conducting the tastings. Also Martinborough Brewery for beersies 😁

[@philipguacci6452]

We went to Tassie in January 1979. 12 day trip. Mount Wellington was freezing even in Summer. We got a school bus instead of a coach due to shortages. Vinyl seats and open door for air conditioning. No refunds or compo. Not been back.

[@carokat1111]

It's very different to how it was in 1979!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

That sounds like a crazy fun, but challenging, adventure?

[@random44937]

I visited Mt. Wellington in 2001 and the view is amazing.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Did you have snow as well?

[@madswansfan1]

Looks like you had so much fun up on the mountain

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Loved it!

[@bethengelhart9039]

Dude, if you guys like snow... take mine!!! When you see enough of it, you HATE the snow.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Totally can imagine that’s true! We love it in small doses 😂

[@starwarsclonedosevoice5290]

Hope you guys in joy it here in tas

[@joeldipops]

Fyi there is a view a really short walk from Lost Freight Cafe. There's a short path through the bush , maybe a two minute walk.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Bugger - that sounds great!

[@xtinacocacola]

I’m an Aussie and I pronounce scallop “scollop” like you ❤

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha yes! We'll take that!

[@MelodyMan69]

Don't eat the yellow snow. 😂

[@DanegerAndStacey]

LOL oh no, what if we did?

[@teamatheavenscent1863]

Tazzieee strong aussie accents there

[@jamescoltman4365]

I lived in Tasmania when I was 19

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Did you enjoy it?

[@Magic-edits-yt]

I like Tasmania too much

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Its amazing huh!

[@filausopoako]

are kids allowed to eat at the cascade bar?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yup! Heaps playing outside too

[@user-uv9ur5ti8t]

Snow in Australia?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yup, crazy huh!

[@benorsman9654]

Have you found the Tasmanian accent different to mainland accent?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Hard to tell when most people are from Melbourne... jooookes. Maybe a bit sharper, less twang to our untrained Kiwi ears

[@gnomevoyeur]

Australians definitely pronounce scallop as if it was spelled scollop. The more naively phonetic pronunciation is more typically American. The more interesting controversy among Australians is whether a deep fried slice of potato that is a similar shape to a scallop shell, and is nothing like a cake, is correctly called a scallop or weirdly called a potato cake.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Phew! We know we have some different pronunciation's but we're glad that you're on our/NZ's side of the scallop!

[@meladams9623]

Cascade Brewery beer garden really shines in Summer also! I returned to the city on foot, via the Hobart Rivulet. En-route is "The Female Factory" convict site, guided tours totally worth it, shocking history.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

I bet it’s awesome in summer with that outdoor area! Oh that sounds interesting though
