Separated from mainland Australia by a 150-mile stretch of Bass Strait, Tasmania is a land apart - a place of beautiful, unspoiled landscapes, friendly, welcoming people, a pleasant, temperate climate, wonderful food and wine and a rich history.
According to experienced travelers who've criss-crossed the globe in search of excellence, Tasmania has one of the world's ten best beaches (Wineglass Bay), the world's best little town (Strahan) and has been rated the world's "best temperate island" by Cond? Nast Traveler magazine.
Roughly the size of West Virginia, Tasmania is Australia's smallest state, with dramatic coastlines, rugged mountains, tall forests and sparkling highland lakes. More than 30 percent of the state is reserved in a network of National Parks and the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, a refuge and habitat for rare plants and animals, including survivors of the ancient southern super continent, Gondwana.
Wilderness, heritage, art & culture, food & wine and so much more await you in Tasmania.
