Tasmania - Paradise at the End of the World - Go Wild

It was only two hundred years ago that Tasmania was a British colony known as Van Diemens Land -- and so remote that its only use was as a penal settlement for the most hardened criminals. Times have definitely changed, yet that remote untamed island of history is never far away.
Today Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, is a bustling modern city and busy port. Mount Wellington rises straight out of the city to more than 1200 metres. It's possible-- in just a little over half an hour - to drive from a city centre restaurant to a wilderness where you could freeze to death. Even in summer snow can fall here. To the people of Hobart, this place is simply The Mountain - a finger of a vast and trackless wilderness pointing right at the heart of the city -- so it's not surprising that Tasmania's wild heritage plays a central role in the lives of the island's human inhabitants.

9:32 I remember being at an isolated beach house in winter on South Bruny. My sister and I would go out exploring along the beaches and in the woodlands and spot white wallabies. In the all the time there we never saw other people - just a wild, windswept coastline and a grey ocean stretching off to Antarctica. At night you could see the Southern Lights dancing about the skies. It's a pretty incredible place.

Wawoo man.. I'm trying to figure out how you feel being in a paradise.
If you get there, reserve an evening to visit the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, about 30 minutes outside Hobart. You can help the keeper feed the animals. They’re mostly nocturnal, just waking up - Tasmanian Devils, Qualls, Echidnas, Koalas and Wallabys. Great experience. Say hi to Tony.

I had the fortune to visit Tasmania for a week in 2009, truly very unique ecosystem, 2/3 of the island is a world heritage site or something like that. I would love to go back someday. We only saw a small part, but truly delighted. We saw lots of wombats near one of our cottages. It doe s look very ancient.

There are no more Tasmanian people, nor a Tasmanian culture. The people there today are descendants of British interlopers that, as official policy, exterminated the real Tasmanians and their culture.
This has to be one of the better documentaries I've seen on my home state. Congratulations. But I have to take exception at the sentence, "As big as the profits are from timber and woodchips . . ." because Forestry Tasmania doesn't make any profits. It actually COSTS Tasmanians to keep it running because the state government subsidises it to the tune of millions a year.
I watched until trees felling and I found it distressing, I found it hard to accept, still I decided to continue to watch, as the beauty, is awe inspiring.
beautiful video really relaxing
What a beautiful documentary. I was in Tasmania in 1975 and it had had a massive fire that swept across the entire island and only cactus remained in place of the greener stuff. It was truly ugly and depressing. It reminded me of Arizona, which looks just like that where I live. I couldn't wait to leave Tasmania. I'm SO glad that it recovered to its magnificent beauty!

Briefly the facts about Tasmania : 1) A state in Australia that consists of the mountainous island itself & several smaller islands. 2) It is separated from the southeast coast of mainland Australia by the Bass Strait. 3) Its pop. is approx. a little less than 500,000 & its capital is Hobart. 4) It used to be known as Van Diemen's Land until 1855. 5) There exists a Tasmanian devil or only found in Tasmania which is a heavily built marsupial w/ powerful jaws & ferociously aggressive, & feeds mainly on carrion, namely the decaying flesh of dead animals. This is informative & edifying,,,,,Much obliged,,,,,,,(05/31/22)
Beautiful.
Very nice video about beautiful Tasmania.
Born and live in this place 🙏🏼 Needs to add that it's Nipaluna not Hobart and Kunyini not Mt Wellington Also to give acknowledgement to Indigenous history, understanding, connection to this land and knowledge that is still being passed down now 🙏🏼 Also just roll eyes at the criminal parts, far out, so many people that came to Tasmania where not Hard criminals!! They were struggling in England (and enslaved Irish) and stole out of necessity and then called criminals and moved far away and forced to build all the housing/buildings the people in in-just power and privilege wanted so real name would be slaves not criminals...

What actually happened and what commenters believe happened are not the same. Much of the disappearance of almost all the native Tasmanians can be attributed to poor communications, incompetence and ignorance of basic nutrition.
