Tasmania
Originally known as Van Dieman's land, Tasmania, or 'Tassie' as the locals call it, is Australia's smallest
state as well its only island state. With diverse inland and coastal wilderness areas that include everything from wild ocean dunes, satellite islets, rainforests, mountain ranges, sea cliffs and alpine moorlands, Tasmania's richness in nature cannot be overstated. About one quarter of the island consists of wildlife-inhabited natural parks, most of which have been awarded with the status of World Heritage Area. The growing cosmopolitan and urban landscapes of Tasmania blend nicely with their natural backdrop, offering a range of plush accommodation, hostels, cafes, shops, festivals and restaurants. If you're looking for a place to unwind, relax and immerse yourself in nature, history or a laid back lifestyle, Tasmania could well be the place for you to visit.
