Tasmania, the island state of Australia, is separated from mainland Australia by the 240 km stretch of Bass Strait and is an archipelago of more than 300 islands. Tasmania is a land of dramatic coastlines, rugged mountains, spectacular wilderness and sparkling highland lakes.

Tasmania is a place of fresh unpolluted air, cool fresh water, rich soil and gourmet produce which prove that Tasmania has been truly blessed by nature.

It is a place of wild and beautiful landscapes, clean and green environment, friendly welcoming people combined with a pleasant temperate climate, wonderful wine and food and a cultural difference with relaxed island lifestyle.

Australia's southernmost capital city is Hobart. It is a riverside city with a busy harbour, a thriving arts-and-crafts scene, and a real sense of history.
