Welcome to The Whinger's Guide to Tasmania!

Let's face it, we all love a good whinge. The feeling of satisfaction you get from being able to vent your spleen about the things that bug you...be they trivial annoyances or crushing social injustices. Not to mention the sense of empathy and camaraderie you get from sharing a whinge-worthy experience with your fellow human beings!

Have you ever had a perfect holiday, completely satisfactory meal in a restaurant or excellent service in a shop and felt the niggling disappointment that you had nothing to whinge about afterwards? Then this guide is for you.

Many view whinging as a negative pastime, one that draws attention away from the positive aspects of life and implies that the person doing the whinging has a generally pessimistic view of the world. We beg to differ! It is our opinion that the good things in life can only be appreciated as a counterpoint to the less than satisfactory. Thus by having a good whinge we are, in the process, also highlighting those aspects that, in fact, do not give us cause for complaint.

Our whinging also has the added social benefit of preventing others from having to endure the unnecessary torments that have plagued us at various restaurants, tourist attractions, hotels, shops and other establishments around Tasmania, as well as further afield.

Join us as we embark upon a journey of fault-finding, petty nit-picking and general dissatisfaction with all facets of modern life. As long time residents of Tasmania, this is where our majority of critical expertise lies, but rest assured, we will not hesitate to take our whinging to the international sphere should the opportunity arise!

In the coming weeks you will have the somewhat dubious pleasure of meeting our contributors as they whinge to their heart's content about anything that takes their fancy.

Whingers unite!
