It doesn't feel cramped,
that's the thing I'm so shocked about and you can walk through here easily for
two people. Super comfy. Walk out here.
Eyes locked can't take
them off you
Good morning everybody welcome... I stole Tubby I've
decided to bring Tubby with us. If you've only just tuned in.
I definitely recommend going and watching our first video cause we are currently
in Tasmania. This is a place we have always wanted to go to.
We're currently in the North,
just checked out Cradle Mountain and today the road trip continues
Where ever you are,
just waiting for me.
We have found a chairlift so we have driven.
We officially out of the national park now and we've driven up to Stanley and we
saw that there's this thing called The Nut and you can see it from so far away.
It's right on the coast.
So I feel like we're currently going up the nut on a chair lift and I feel like
we're going to have Epic views of the coast right now.
But we're looking it up and the nut is actually a volcanic plug.
So basically what happens is the molten lava in the neck of the volcano hardens
and then makes all this pressure in the volcano. And usually it makes it erupt.
So this is that molten lava, which they call the plug, of the Volcano. And
we're going up. I do love just how close we are to the ground.
You can walk, it takes 45 minutes.
Yeah, it's just up here, We couldn't have walked - too
much. Oh you are meant to lift your legs up. Oh
Oh welcome to The Nut Steve!
Worlds shortest ride up the Nut.
I know!
It's really nice how where The Nut is placed it's right on the cape,
so you can see two different beaches right from this lookout.
So I just wanted to show you guys the area that we've actually been traveling to
here in Tazzy because a week ago we really didn't know much about Tasmania and
now that we are,
I've kind of got it so we're currently on this road trip doing the Northwest.
So we started here in Launceston and then we've headed,
this is Cradle Mountain area and then this morning we left Cradle Mountain and
then we drove all the way up to Stanley.
And then right now we're going to be heading off to Devonport and then
tomorrow's when, we're heading back to Launceston.
So it's basically this Northwest area that we're going to be exploring,
but now we're off, there's a place called penguin.
We came to penguin.
It's so small
Oh, it's so cute.
Home sweet home. It's like the size of our car.
So we've just arrived on this farm and tonight we're going to be staying in an
eco-friendly, tiny home.
I think this is the first one we've ever stayed in a tiny home before, right?
Oh yeah, I think so. We stayed in smaller accommodations before, like in Japan,
but this is an actual tiny home and it's basically off the grid. Yes.
So they have full solar panel, compost toilet, they have batteries, electricity,
gas. We even have a bathroom in there. It's kind of cool. Also, it's on wheels.
So I feel like you could take this wherever you want to go if you want to go.
So maybe we'll,
I don't know if our little Kia is going to be able to drag this around.
Oh no, I think we're going to stay here tonight, so we just walk up here.
As you can see,
you've got everything from our electricity to our battery to our gas.
They've done such a nice job here so they've attached an extra porch made out of
wood and if you come through here it almost looks like a bit of a shipping
container. So we have an outdoor sitting area overlooking a farm.
And I'm pretty sure I can see some cows just down there with a bit of a Lake.
So I think we're going to have dinner and breakfast just here coming through
into the tiny home straightaway.
You're greeted with the kitchen and if we're just going to have a look what we
have, we have a coffee pot just here, plenty of utensils.
Got some cute little cups here. They've even given us some Australian Merlot,
which is a nice touch. Got ecofriendly dishwashing liquid, got our sink here,
freezer fridge. Oh that's nice of them,
they've giving us some milk and some lint chocolate. Open up here,
have all the utensils we need and they pretty much just designed this for what
you need. There are some latte mugs, you have some pots, we have some plates.
Cooking oil.
Pepper on the right here is just pretty much the rest of the plumbing system.
And we also have a toaster, which is nice.
And then once you're done with the kitchen, that's pretty much it.
Like that is the rest of the house. Got our bed pack neatly in the corner.
Look at the colors they've done. Honestly,
I'm going to keep saying this really nice job.
Look at the light fixtures and they've kind of extended it up so it looks like
they've taken the shipping container and then just popped an extra roof on top
of that. They've done a great job with the space.
Like you walk in here and it feels super spacious,
especially having the bedroom here so you can just kinda jump over that and then
you can still walk around. Oh, that feels comfy. Actually.
That feels nice. Given us a little book on tiny homes. Oh,
can I have to look through here for some inspiration and in through this door is
the bathroom, which I actually didn't think it had one when we booked this.
I'm surprised. Composting toilet. As I said before,
everything you need just here.
Eco-friendly wash come through there in the shower. I mean,
it doesn't feel cramped. That's the thing I'm so shocked about.
You can walk through here easily for two people. Super comfy.
Walk out here man. I can get used to this. This is super nice.
Go watch the beautiful sunset, but I think we're pretty hungry.
It's four o'clock.
We've been driving since nine 30 doing a little detours around to see as much of
the North coast as we can. I think we're going to cook some dinner.
They even have a herbs and spices garden for us so we can just help ourself.
Jess just made enough sushi for an entire village plus the cows down there.
I have been obsessed with sushi since we came back from Japan. I know you have!
I can't stop making it, we've got soy sauce, ginger.
We got too much sushi for two people. Cheers, bubs.
Cheers.
Good morning Tasmania
Bye tiny home. That was the coolest little experience.
We totally need to do one of these. Again guys,
if you've ever seen any cool tiny homes from around the world,
leave a comment below because I'm a little bit addicted to them.
So we've just driven 10 minutes down the road to a place called Turner's beach.
And as we were driving down to the beach,
we saw a place called Turner's beach Berry patch,
looked like a really cute place for breakfast.
And I think we were right because we just ordered some breakfast.
It looks amazing.
We just ordered some hot drinks and we've just found out that they do have a
berry patch here and you can pay $5,
you can enter and then you can fill up your product with as many berries as you
can. So I feel like that's what we're going to do.
And that could be like our road trip snack for the day,
Here we go
We have never gone out to a little berry farm before. This is so cute.
It's almost like a kid in a candy store.
You just get given a punnet and you can go crazy.
Road trip snacks sorted.
Oh my gosh, it is dropping like crazy.
I'm just going to have to taste it and then explain what we're doing right now.
Ready guys?
We've come out to a Lavender farm and I've always wanted to try Lavender ice
cream except it, um, it's melting very quickly. So you're ready.
What is the yum kinda tastes like vanilla ice cream? Are they heated?
Blended them?
Yeah. It doesn't taste like so good. No,
we thought it was gonna taste like soap.
Wow. Nice. So young.
So we can't do one of the most famous 11 to farms here in Tasmania. Of course,
we're a little bit too early.
The buds are starting to grow I think around February.
If you come out here it will be incredible.
Just eight of 11 applause.
And it looks so beautiful where they've placed it because there was a mountain
range just out there and it almost has like an orange red just around the field.
I don't mind coming out here.
Now of course this would be insane when it's in bloom, but at least it's nice.
And green apartments is definitely worth coming out here.
But if there's a reason to return to Tasmania is to come here.
When these are blue, it's so good.
So they had a store inside full of [inaudible]
11 to stop, so we had to get something.
Stephen's dad absolutely loves tea,
so we ended up picking him up 11 to and mint tea and I cannot wait to try.
It smells amazing.
The weather has definitely changed from when we were in cradle mountain.
We've now come to Launceston and this is actually,
we're going to be spending the night before we leave tomorrow.
It is now 23 degrees. We had one degree in cradle mountain. It's crazy,
but we found out, so we went into town.
We're trying to work out what to do and we just saw that you could literally
walk from the middle of the town to this amazing natural area.
It's called cataract Gorge.
I cannot believe they had this basically in the backyard of their town.
Usually you have to drive out for these things.
It is a massive Gorge that cuts right through.
I see that you could touch boat rides along it and just come down and checked it
out. It is so beautiful.
Look at the view from our Airbnb.
I had no idea what was going to look this nice.
So basically jumped online a couple of days ago and I knew we wanted to stay in
Launceston before we fly home tomorrow. So I booked an Airbnb for two reasons.
One, I booked this bit Airbnb for two reasons.
One is because it was one of the cheapest I found was like $100 a night where
when you stay right in the city, it's way more expensive.
So it is 10 minutes out of town. And number two, it was called bird's nest.
So I'm like, okay, let's stay here. It is so cute. Look at this view.
I feel like we're not even near the city and we're only 10 minutes away.
And the lady that roots a place told us that in the night we may hear possums
walking along the roof and wallabies might come up at sunset up to our place.
