Thanks to Expedia for partnering with us on this video and making our Tasmania road trip series possible.
Jess needed to head back to Australia to have her 12 week Ultrasound so as we awaited the results we had a bit of time to spare so we decided to finally head out to Tasmania, the little island off the coast of Australia.
First up we flew into Launceston to pick up our car rental and hit the road as we made our way towards Cradle Mountain National Park.
There we checked into Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge: fave.co/2D4JNUn
Our time in Cradle Mountain included heading into the national park, having warm fires and hot chocolates as well as heading into the Tasmanian Devil reserve.

There's something beautiful about seeing our beautiful state on the internet
Tasmania is so wonderful and we're so incredibly lucky to live here
yes
How are you communicating with the civilised world you savage mutant
I’m not from Tasmania, but so glad this video exists too - I’ve only ever heard how beautiful Tassie is! 😍
Another Tassie here
Wonderful here
If you’re coming to tassie, 5 days ain’t enough for those wanting some advice - love, a Tassie gal
:D
The fact that people have never seen a wild wombat blows my mind
same
Same 😆
Have been living in Indonesia for 2 years. Man I wish seeing such wildlife!
Have you seen a wild hippo? A wild leopard or lion? What about a wild lemur? The world doesn't revolve around Australia
Maria G no need to be mean and yes I have see those animal’s is the wild before btw we know that it is not all about Australia/Tasmania. and Tasmania is not Australia so yeah get your place’s right. And if you said this about your own country/ State we wouldn’t come for you just saying
I live In tassie and seeing how excited they were just made me realize how great our state really is
“chubby, on the floor, and eat everything” i relate to Steve’s description of the wild wombat so hard.
I might have been a wild wombat in another life
Not even half an hour ago I was looking at Tasmanian vlogs and thought, "man I wish flying the nest had a video about tassie", perfect timing guys!
Tassie gets all four seasons in a day. My family likes to say “if you don’t like the weather, come back in 5 minutes” 😂
MY HEART IS BURSTING FULL OF PRIDE 😭😭 Tasmania is my home & I’m so glad you loved it. It is paradise.
I have a bunch of videos on my channel about hikes in Tassie!
Nice 👍🐨✌️
I’m from Tasmania this is my home too
Are u from Hobart or Launceston
same
Emily Daly - TRACKING ED me too!!!
What airport should I fly into to be able to drive to this lodge?
I saw a short from this vid 6months ago, and instantly knew it was my home, Tassie. If you’re not Tasmanian, you don’t understand. I love how more and more people are beginning to appreciate this Eden we call home.
Your video did it justice and I thank you sincerely.
A Tasman Peninsula local ❤️
As a melbournian and watched this vid, guys, I booked a flight.
@Aaron R Overrated, but better than Brisbane.
Ryan VanGelder best city north of Bass Strait. Otherwise it’s Launceston 🤣
kool hope u had a good time at my home
Come to hobart
@@jakaylaleonard9953 launie is a gem too
It’s called sleet btw, when snow is like that
Glad someone educated them but we need to add that summer doesn't start until December the 1st. 😆
Kimm 65 true that, but you can’t blame them, lately here in Australia it’s been really hot, comparable to summer conditons
@@6ixConfessions wait... summer, doesn't start before december 1st
s u m m e r
d e c e m b e r
@@justagenosfan Unless you're privy to something I'm not, no. It officially starts on the 1st of December, as in today. Although right now, it's raining & no doubt it's set in for the day with a decisive drop in temperature. Typical of Tasmania's start to summer.😃
Thankyou! That was driving me nuts, "awe omg look it's snowing, omg I can't believe its snowing". I can't either, because it wasn't. It's sleet, SLEET, not snow.
Wet snow is called "sleet". Big love from Canada. We have far too many words for snow.🌍☕🍮
That's because it's snowing a lot in Canada.. Right 😄
I take tassie for granted and watching these videos make me realise how much of a special place tassie is and how I need to appreciate it more. Good to see you guys enjoyed your stay here and had a great time
Yes very true I agree 10000000 persent
I'm from Tassie and watching all this videos has made me realise how lucky i am to live here, and how we don't realise how spoilt we are as a state. My brothers and i recently did the overland track and we go away often, I'm so grateful to be a Tasmanian growing up in this state and going on so many adventures and doing so many different thing at such a young age. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it.
I live in Tasmania I’ve been here my whole life there’s really nothing to do it but I love it here
I live in Devonport, it is a bit 'meh' sometimes, but nice and quiet.
As someone who lives in Rosebery TAS (not too far from Cradle) this is so like heartwarming to watch
Where about sis it in Hobart??
I’m from Tasmania too but from Launceston x
As a Tassie local I can tell you that the 'wet snow' is called sleet and it's a regular thing😁
We did an 11- nights round the island road tour in Tassie a few years back and we still longed for more. It is a real paradise and it’s so so beautiful. So beautiful that we actually planned for another trip last year, but due to the outbreak of COVID 19, we had to cancel it. So sad but you bet we will be back even if we have to take the 10-hour flight from Asia. Bless you Tassie..........
I swear, the cinematography in these vlogs never disappoint!
Careful going into hot tub while pregnant. No more than 10 minutes as long as it’s not toooo hot early on in pregnancy.
well given the body is 36 Deg..... nope
David & Barbara Mielke don’t tell pregnant people what to do seriously
@@emmaeriksson7155 Dana says- Yes, because it's much nicer to see them do something that doctors say can harm their unborn baby and just say nothing and hope for the best. They're brand new at this pregnancy thing and they can certainly take or leave any advice they get, but you shouldn't lecture people about trying to help them avoid possibly harming their baby. That's like seeing a blind person walking into the path of a lorry and not warning them of the danger. BTW, she also ate raw sushi, which is dangerous for unborn babies. These aren't little nit-picky things or old wives tales. These are two of maybe a dozen things OBGYNs tell their patients to avoid, like smoking, drinking alcohol, or doing drugs.
@@thomasrichards6245 not eating sushi is outdated info as well. There are plenty types of fish pregnant people can eat in sushi. I highly doubt Jess is just doing things without thinking about how it could impact her baby so how about we stop treating pregnant woken like children and let them live their lives without the peanut gallery.
yes, I thought that too
watching this video made me realise how much I take my home for granted, love tassie
Omg yes :) x I love my home tassie xx
As a country NSW gal, who had wombats living on her drive way I’m shook that you have never seen a wombat. How special 💕
Wombats are so scary, they destroy everything and chase me all the time in tassie
Local Tasmanian here!
You guys do a terrific job of capturing the beauty of our wildlife and nature! The scenery and health of this video is absolutely splendid. I truly hope you guys did enjoy your retreat! :)
“Wet snow” is called Sleet in Scotland, sure it’d be the same over there !!
No it’s not called that in Tasmania
It’s just snow
Or it could of been hail
It's called sleet in Australia, too.
I'm from Tassie, and we call it sleet as well :)
Scotland is so beautiful - as a child I visited and fell in love with the gorgeous landscape!!!!
As A Tasmanian the fact that they visited a island that is usually often forgot makes me feel warm inside the paradise that is often forgotten. 🙂
Born in Tasmania. Live in Hobart.
Travelled most of Aust and would never live anywhere else.
Nowhere else comes close to the serenity.
Fantastic video.
Thank you.
Loved this! You CAN NOT beat Tassie hospitality, the people are incredible!
I love seeing how excited you guys are over the "winter weather" during your summer! (especially since I'm watching it from the Northern Hemisphere) Hope you guys enjoyed it!!! :)
Literally my favorite travel channel on youtube! I love you steve and jess ❤️
Hope you guys doing great and can’t wait for the baby to see how amazing their parents are and doing some adventures with you! Stay safe and amazing 😉
We just come back from Tasmania and we loved it the people are wonderful the heritage and environment is wonderful , beautiful and tasmanians are excellent with tourism they really treat people well, we love Tasmania and tasmanians, Tasmania is really a special place.
I love my island home, Tassie.. 🥰🥰
Love this one! I did my working holiday in Sydney and I went to lots of road trips around NSW while I was there. I loved it even when it was wet and cold, there's something about Australian winter, the deep bluish color and the sound of rain falling on the leaves.. Thank you so much for this video! Reminded me of those nice memories. Hope you could show more of Australia if you guys are planning to stay down there for some time! Love you guys!
I lived in and travelled round Australia for 2 years and never made it out to Tasmania. Now I'm really regretting that 😭 Looks beautiful. Thank you for taking us with you!
It makes me so happy to see you both exploring this beautiful state that I get to live in. You captured Tasmania beautifully, I can’t wait to see more 🙌🏻💛
Oh my gosh that hot tub with the view is amazing 😍 I hope you all have a safe road trip and happy holidays! 🎄
I JUST LOVE WHAT YOU DO,...NO ONE DOES IT WITH MORE GRACE AND SWEETNESS,...AND THE DRONE FOOTAGE IS SO BEAUTIFUL,....THANK YOU,...I FEEL LIKE I GOT TO GO THERE WITH YOU! IT'S SO MAGICAL! FANTASTIC WORK!
There's even more beautiful sights and sound in Tassie. Been there twice, both in winter and summer. Loved it and mesmerise by its beauty. Give it another road trip to appreciate its beauty ;)
Go Tassie, it's so chill compared to the mainland, its a truly cruisey, lush place ❤️❤️❤️
The far north where I grew up (Cairns) is super chill too! I head back up there when Melbourne life wears me down from time to time.
The soundtrack to these vlogs are always on point. Keen editing.
Seeing people having the best time in my home state just makes me so happy and how I should appreciate it more and how people love it so much
And so thankful to be away from the fires but hope to god them fires are all clear very soon bc it’s so bad 😭and hope use get heaps of rain
I am just so happy to live in this beautiful state of Tasmania and having a roof over my head and a bed to sleep in and be happy and healthy
Love use
I’m so glad use loved it mainly the nature life x
Looks like you two were having an amazing time. Thank you for sharing 👏🏼
Thank you guys so much for putting this vlog up! It was only a couple days ago someone suggested to go to Tasmania for a holiday and your video has definitely made me want to book a trip!! Awesome vid guys!!!
I missed you guys! So glad to have more travel videos to watch and enjoy. Tasmania looks so neat!
I am a Tasmanian, I love seeing my state on travel vlogers!
That room you got upgraded to is $1000 a night approx! But beautiful!
Thank you for doing my home state justice, your camera work captures it beautifully! I live down south past Hobart, but ventured to Cradle Mountain earlier in the year (we got snowed on at Dove Lake too). I couldn't believe it was real, more people need to get out and explore Tasmania (I feel so lucky to live here)!
Tasmania is beautiful! Love the wombats and wallaby’s.
You know your good when you make bad weather look amazing
Welcome to Tassie! Delighted to call it my home. And yes... I was out west a couple of weeks ago and we did have snow. :-) yeah, the wet stuff is called sleet.
Lived there for 3 years in Northen Midland. Tassie's cold quietness will always land in my heart and mind now and then.
Thanks for promoting our "back yard" we've been here 9 years and still find it amazing. Quality video as well. Great job.
Great take guys!
Have been a regular visitor to Tassie from Sydney for the past 8 years, prior to Covid which made me miss the 2021 trip. Hopefully, by Christmas it will be OK to get there again.
Through experience I've found the best time to visit is January and February in respect of more predictable weather.
Cradle Mt though is *always* like that, even in the middle of summer. Within 15 minutes you can get a complete change in the weather so, always carry waterproof warm gear with you.
The path around Dove Lake is a must and it doesn't present any real difficulty, even for older or totally unfit visitors. Allow between 2 and 3 hours for a leisurely stroll.
Can't wait for my next trip there!
Wow, it's amazing. Your guys are so lucky. Thanks for sharing the beautiful views.
I really like these style of videos because it makes you feel like you're there experiencing it. I haven't traveled for a while so this is a great way to get a feel again for traveling. Beautiful work.
Love this vlog! As an Aussie living in England I was quite homesick seeing our country’s natural beauty. What an amazing place to visit (give me the King Billy suite and I’d never leave). Looking forward to more Aussie trips when you pop back and forth for mum and bub check ups.
Spent a couple of nights there back in the early 90s. Love the place!
I love so many of your videos but this was one of the best. Absolutely beautiful.
I remember arriving Cradle Mountain Lodge and seeing rain was forecast on the weather board in reception. The person I was with, we looked at each other and said we'd wait out the bad weather. The receptionist laughed so hard at us and said we might be waiting a while because it rains every single day of the year there. HA! And yes, yes it does.😆
We stayed at the exact same room at the Cradle Mountain Lodge, and I was so excited watching you guys enjoy the island state, I feel so nostalgic.
Awwww that little guy was the cutest!! We've only seen wombats in wildlife sanctuary's back home in Aus. That cabin looks like a dream! We love places like that. We've never been to Tassie but have always wanted to. We're dreaming of filming some vlogs there one day when we come home. Those walks look beautiful too, gorgeous footage guys! 👍
I really enjoyed your show. Thank you for exposing the beauty of Tazzy to the rest of the world. What a wonderful experience! I walked it right along with you.
I live in Tassie, so glad you guys had fun here! It's one of the best places in the world in my eyes :)
Unbelievable beauty of nature!
Tasmania looks amazing. So cool that you got to see the wombats. They are adorable
I just moved back to Perth after a year in Tasmania, I love the fact that you're also from Perth and seeing a Tasmania video makes me so happy!
How is life in Perth I will visit on January for 2 weeks
I have always had a dream to visit Tazmania. The name is just so much fun! Thanks for a great vlog and more local adventures around Australia is such a great idea while Jess is expecting! You two are the cutest
Great video! Those wombats are so cute 🥰! I lived in Melbs for 6 months and regret not visiting Tasmania when I was so close 😭!
Yesssss. Just a couple of weeks ago, I searching your IG and YT to see it you had ever gone to Tassie. It’s such a beautiful place and I want to go back again.
Proud to say I live here. Tassie is awesome.
Recently been there... Beautiful place! ❤️
I just went to Cradle Mountain 2 months ago!
SOOOOOOOOOOOO beautiful
I went to Strahan in Tasmania when your driving to Tasmania u go through a beautiful rainforest and if it’s rainy u might see baby eels wash up on the beach me and my dad we decided to save them by throwing them back in the water and in Strahan it’s very quiet and friendly
Beautiful. Thanks for showing me how beautiful it is there.
wow that enchanted walk looked amazing! Tasmania is now on my bucket list!
Hahaha, you guys are as excited to see the wombat, as I was to see emu's in my first vlog. Tassie is awesome, and Bettie hasn't been there yet - so we will definitely be doing a trip there soon too! We are from Melbourne, so the weather here is pretty crazy - but Tassie beats us for crazy unpredictable weather! Snow in late November is hilarious.
As someone’s who’s lived in Tassie all my life, I find it so amusing to hear people from other places talk about it? And like never seeing wild wombats?? They’re literally everywhere lmaoo we’ve got so much wildlife I’m numb to it hahaha. Also always funny to hear their reactions to temperatures, weather and hearing them day the names of things (like the way you said Launceston lmaoooo)
So beautiful.enjoy your time there you two.
You're one of the very few channels that i always like their videos before even watching them.
You deserve way more views and you'll get them just keep it up, love you guys.
That is so pretty 😍😍
Love your guys videos and also congrats with the pregnancy!!
Australia looks amazing! I hope to make it there one day. Thanks for showing us your beautiful country!!
"Good morning Tasmania" you guys are really cute, genuine. You've done a great job of showing our state . I live on the NW tas not too far from cradle and you've inspired me to book another weekend trip here, it's been a while. We see echidna walking around on most of our day trips and last weekend we saw platypus in the Don River, fantastic!
Love it, we were just in Tassie too! ⚡
How fun in Penguin!!
I've been to Tassie twice, literally brushing through the mainland and heading into the nature. It surprised me many Aussies haven't been there.
You guys should definitely find a time to go on a trip to Kenya!! I went this last summer and fell in love with the country and it’s people. I would totally suggest that if you go that you go to the Kichwa tembo tented safari lodging. I saw so many neat animals and had an AMAZING guid named Timothy. The city of Nairobi is so beautiful and the small local villages are even better! Y’all should definitely look into it, you won’t regret it.
I'm watching because I'm planning a trip, very keen now.
I have good memories of Tasmania.. Good people and Food.. Travel Safe..
Looks like a blast. !
I live in tassie and your comments made me laugh bc I’m so used to the weather
What an upgrade!! Can't wait to make our to Tasmania on our lap of Australia
Awesome video! I enjoyed the look at the King Billy suite, and the tssie devils!
Congrats for your child ❤️
Tassie is my favourite ♥️
Ok.. This is now my favorite vlog of yours until the birth vlog (😅). Tassie is our absolute fave.. so it was so great to see all the places we love to go to every time we go. We have done the Dove Lake circuit in 10 degrees and another time in 32 degree heat. 😂 We've never stayed at The Lodge at Cradle... but really want to.
🥰 me watching this right now while editing an elopement I photographed at the lodge & in the park. Perfect 😍 I love my state.
I have never been to Australia - but Crown Princess Mary of Denmark is from Tasmania🥰 And we just love having her as our Crown Princess in Denmark 💕awesome aussie😍🙌
... I'm so blessed to call this beautiful place home. But when you opened that door and said 'good morning Tasmania' I goosed up and my eyes glassed over.. (*) insert long sigh here. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful clip of this gorgeous place. I'm inspired to revisit my back yard, Cradle Mt ❣️
Our tasmania is beautiful not touched and yup its 4 seasons in one day winter summer spring autumn :) it definitely snows at any time of year in certain places . Cradle mountain is beautiful place to explore so glad you guys enjoyed it
Just over 4 years ago, I had a week in Perth visiting my Brother before flying to Melbourne to catch a connecting flight to Hobart for a week there 🙂
This looks fabulous!
