Beautiful Tasmania

Separated from mainland Australia by the 240 km stretch of Bass Straight, Tasmania is a land apart – a place of wild and beautiful landscapes; friendly, welcoming people; a pleasant, temperate climate; wonderful food and wine; a rich history; and a relaxed island lifestyle.

According to experienced travellers who’ve crisscrossed the globe in search of excellence, Tasmania has one of the world’s ten best beaches (Wineglass Bay, US-based Outside Magazine), the world’s best little town (Strahan, Chicago Tribune) and is rated as the “the best island in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific” (Travel + Leisure magazine) and is the “world’s best temperate island” (Conde’ Nast Traveller magazine).

Tasmania is a natural island – a land of dramatic coastlines, rugged mountains, tall forests and sparkling highland lakes. Over a third of the state is reserved in a network of National Parks and Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Areas.

Tasmania has the cleanest air in the world and visitors often remark on how blue the sky is and the wonderful quality of light.
