The Tasmanian Scent

In our interviews with Tasmanians, we heard a lot of stories that were connected to sensory experiences: the taste of the food, the sounds of birds, the smell of fresh air. Scent came up a lot: the unique fragrances of leatherwood honey or Huon pine, the smell of gum trees on a bush walk, seaweed on the coast at low tide. We experience places through all our senses, and the Tasmanian scent project is one part of the sensory journey we were keen to explore further.

Be Tasmanian Podcasts

Welcome to Be Tasmanian, a podcast about an impossible mission in a small state at the bottom of the world. It’s about uncovering a hidden story that unites people, and using that story to inspire community action. It’s about place-branding, destination marketing, and economic development, but it’s really about culture: It’s about who we are, why we live where we live, what all that means, and what we ought to do about it. Discover the honesty, the vulnerability, and the passion on these isolated islands at the bottom of the world. Discover what it means to be Tasmanian.

The Tasmanian Store

In our interviews and research with Tasmanians, and those who admire Tasmanian-ness in all its forms, we listened carefully for symbols and icons. While a brand is not a logo, we needed some way to express the magic of this place and its people. Nothing compared with the word itself: Tasmanian. These items are for all Tasmanians and those who might like to be Tasmanian – for a night, two weeks, or the rest of their lives. We have tried to source all of these items as ethically and as responsibly as possible, using as many Tasmanian partners as we could find, and the proceeds are re-invested into our work with and for our partners.
