Bass Hwy News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

It turns out you can live in South East Tasmania for well over a decade and have little to no idea about everyday life on the island s diagonally opposite corner. Up in the North West, people snack on something called savoury toast, refer to their ute as their bus, tawdry plough rhymes with the way they pronounce laundry trough. Down one particular road is this incredible waterfall, a welcoming old family-owned apiary, a haunting tiger tale and some curious car art. A small sign on the Bass Highway points south to Mawbanna. This is Tommeginne Country, the traditional homelands of one of the many nations of lutruwita/Tasmania – an island with a colonial history so brutal and so shameful that much has been swept under the rug of the state s collective consciousness. Mawbanna is the original name of a waterway, further east, now referred to by its English translation: Black River.
