Fresh from a trip to Tassie, as it’s affectionately known, Mogens shares highlights from his recent adventure, including a two-night stay at a wilderness retreat on Cradle Mountain in Tasmania’s central highlands.

Penny and Megan also share some of their favourite spots in Tasmania, from the historic charm of Richmond and the natural beauty of Bruny Island to cultural highlights like MONA in Hobart.

The episode concludes with another round of “this or that”, where Mogens and Penny face off, sharing their personal travel preferences relating to Tasmania.
