00:02Territorians are known for being a laid-back, happy bunch.
00:06Now it's official.
00:07What we found was the Territory had the highest levels of happiness in the nation.
00:12Everyone's happy here.
00:13I don't know that they're the happiest, but we've certainly encountered some very happy people since we've been here.
00:17The reason for the smiles? It's not known for sure.
00:21But locals have their theories.
00:23Warm weather always makes me happy.
00:24And because the people are casual, the people are easy to talk to, people are non-exclusive.
00:34I feel anyone can belong.
00:36I think it's the weather.
00:37We love the Territory because it's such a wild west area.
00:42Young fish O'Reilly thinks he knows the secret.
00:45Why do you think we're so happy?
00:47Because we've got the best fishing.
00:48And that reasoning might hold water.
00:51I know it sounds a little funny, but it's actually been proven that people who fish more often are more
00:57resilient.
00:58And I reckon that connects pretty strongly to happiness.
01:00Certainly spending time in the natural environment is a really good way to set yourself up for a really happy
01:06day.
01:06And so I think that is part of that.
01:08On the other end of the scale, Victoria ranked the least happy of the states and territories.
01:13I'm Victorian and I confirm that I am miserable.
01:17While we might be smiling now, the report found just 23% of Territorians are optimistic about the Territory's future.
01:25Do you think you can be pessimistic and happy?
01:28Definitely, because I am.
01:29The place to be if you want to be happy.
01:33Do you think you're listening your thoughts inhhh???
01:36Do you think you're all correct?
01:38Do you think you're finding an creamy thing with this Jeffrey's future?
01:38Because Mr Christ constantly, the high foot is
