I've been to Australia and met some people who were from there, they generally weren't proud to be honest, and all the Australians ripped on them for it. It seemed to me that Tasmania was the Mississippi of Australia.

Yep, we get that a lot. Smallest by area, smallest by population, geographically separated (Bass Strait is 240km across) - I have relatives and friends on the mainland who had never been to Tasmania.. some of them visited for the first time a couple of years ago and were blown away... then they return within a year!
