25 Things You'll Only Get If You're A Tasmanian

    No, we're not all related and that's all I'll say on the topic.

    1. Your friends on the mainland joke that you'll need a passport to visit them because you're flying "overseas".

    2. And you always remember to pick up at least a dozen Krispy Kremes at the airport for your family and friends.

    3. They say the drive from Devonport to Hobart is over three hours but you know you can do it in two and a bit...

    4. ...unless you get stuck behind an L-plater or a tractor.

    5. You've made the road trip to the giant Penguin statue in Penguin at least once.

    6. No road trip to Hobart is complete without a stop at Anvers on the way...

    7. ...or Campbell Town.

    8. You can't remember a time when there wasn't roadworks on the Midlands.

    9. You've been to the Village of the Lower Crackpot at Tasmazia at least once, and took a trip "around the world" while you were there.

    10. You cringe every time someone pronounces Launceston as Lorne-ceston.

    11. Going back home to the North West Coast for the weekend means a night out at House...

    12. ...and that one friend who is always posting on Facebook for a des*.

    13. You've never had to worry about missing out on Falls tickets, because Marion Bay rarely sells out.

    14. You've made the trip to the Cadbury factory just to get cheap chocolate in bulk.

    15. You're pretty proud of your Frequent Shopper Points, as you're SO CLOSE to that $20 voucher.

    16. You dust off your gumboots each May in anticipation for AGFEST - even though you're not a farmer.

    17. You secretly love winter as it means there will be snow on THE mountain.

    18. You know that the proper name for runners is sand shoes.

    19. Burger Got Soul is your go-to take-away place.

    20. You have pretended to go to MONA to look at the modern art, but you really just went to get a glimpse of the wall of vaginas.

    21. You've used the excuse of "discovering Tasmania" to up your Instagram game.

    22. You know that going to a concert on the mainland means forking out half of your savings for flights and accommodation.

    23. You know that there is no greater rivalry than the one between Hobart and Launceston.

    24. And even if you do try hacking it on the mainland...

    25. ...you know in your heart that Tasmania will always be home.
