About 240km south of the Australian
mainland lies Tasmania and is similar in size to Ireland.
Tassie is a place of wilderness and is home to some of
nature’s purest offerings, from lush rainforest
to raging rivers and the cleanest air and water. It’s
Tasmania’s isolation from the mainland that allows
many endangered species to thrive and travellers have
the opportunity to see the platypus, wedge-tailed eagle,
eastern barred bandicoot and of course the Tasmanian Devil
– look for it a few hours after sunset.
Tasmania has an ancient and varied history with Aboriginal
rock paintings thought to be 20,000 years old and stunning
examples of European architecture from the 1800s to
the present.
The capital Hobart is situated in the southeast and
is the most densely populated region in Tasmania, although
there is still plenty of bushland and natural wonders
to enjoy. There are many historic buildings at Hobart
and to get a stunning view of the whole area Mt. Wellington
is a short trip away. >> More
