With respect to this thread, we spent two weeks road tripping around Tasmania last November and tried to listen almost exclusively to Australian music. Among the many famous and not-so-famous-to-us musicians, there was a noticeable lack of Tasmanians. We did, however, discover the musical "greatness" of Slim Dusty, who was apparently a bit like the Australian version of Johnny Cash.
Slim Dusty wasn't Tasmanian, but his tunes seemed fitting for driving around the state and essentially became the soundtrack of our trip.
MONA is hard to describe. Much more of an experience and a sensory slap than a traditional museum. Certainly one of the most inexplicable things with which I have interacted.
I take it you’ve been there as well — if you have a better way to describe it I’d love to hear it.
Fascinating, inexplicable, bizarre, compelling, head-scratching. A must-see.
Would love to hear your thoughts on Tassie, I have found it fascinating.
