Tassie bloggers.

Tasmanian bloggers seem pretty difficult to hunt down. I’m guessing because of decades of harassment by our mainland counterparts, some have become ashamed of our birthplace and try and hide it. Apparently we have a lot to be ashamed of- incest usually tops the list, then a well-worn joke about having two heads, which I’m sorry to say only gets less funny each time it's used.

There is also the more political issue, that is- the accusation that colonial Tasmania (Van Diemen’s Land, for the uninitiated) saw the ‘genocide’, or ‘slaughter’ of peaceful, defenceless Aborigines or some such. As with the copious amounts of incest and our additional heads, this is not the case.

The point of this post, though, is simply to link to a few of my betters in the blogosphere- not discuss colonial history.


Bug and Cecilia

I have no idea what this blog is about. It is, however, Tasmanian- and that’s what counts.


Little Mr Square Eyes

He’s a Hobart blogger with a focus on the idiot box.


Jaisen

Jaisen is based in Burnie. His profile confesses he is an Arts student.


Georgie Weston

As the URL suggests, Weston’s blog centres around food. Oddly enough, for a Hobart blogger, Weston also seems fond of the North.


If you’re a Tassie blogger, send me your site details and I’ll put them on this post (linked at the sidebar).

Apologies to the above people as well, I didn’t give them a choice in the matter (and you still don’t have one)!
