The true marker of a Taswegian is calling mainlanders, mainlanders ... in casual conversation, as in "look at that bloody mainlander'. As a 'Queenslander' you will find that we all already know that you'll go back, it may take 10, 20 or even 50 years, but you'll eventually betray your Tassie-mania. Be glad, that we tolerate that type of behavior!

I used to volunteer in a museum. We had a lot of people surprised that we took "Australian" money. The amount of people who didn't know they hadn't left the country was amusing and somewhat concerning. This one time we had this couple in their early 20s all excited because they were from Victoria and Tasmania was their first overseas trip, they got passports for the first time, were banging on about how easy it was getting through the border at the international airport in Launceston (It's not an international airport) My boss and I had to let them down as gently as we could. I still remember the look on the lady's face she was so disappointed. But if we hadn't told them they would of been in for a shock. Seeing it was a museum on the history of the area, including information on Lachlan Macquarie, John Batman and their roles in Australian history. Better they found out before the tour than during it also they were heading to two other museums which also talked about stuff with links to mainland Australia.

I moved to Tassie in 2000 and yes, while it is a bit parochial at times, it's still the best State to live in, I think. The air is clean. it's a beautiful place and I love it here. It has its quirks, for sure, but so do other States, but the good far outweighs the bad. I'm still amazed however, about how many "mainlanders" don't know that Tasmania is actually part of Australia! Seriously! I was shocked. I'm not sure where they went to school, but .... I would not want to live on the West Coast here, whoa, that is another world. The locals there call Queenstown "Mordor"! The Gordon River cruise is definitely worth the trip and Strahan is good, but a trip to Trial Harbour is a lesson in true isolation. (Need a 4WD and a satellite phone to live there!). The feel of the place is freaky. Along the lines of Jimmy's appraisal, people who live on Bruny Island call TASMANIA "the mainland". I got chatting to a couple of locals in Zeehan on the west coast who told me they were "going to Australia tomorra". I kid you not! They were serious. I told friends in Victoria and it's become a standing joke "when are you coming to Australia to visit us again?" 😆 I must admit you do almost need a passport to visit the West Coast.
