About Tasmania

The Australian island of Tasmania varies geographically from old-growth forests and grasslands to mountains and volcanic lakes, supporting unparalleled biodiversity, with many flora and fauna species unique to the island. Tasmania’s rugged wilderness offers ample opportunities for hiking, bushwalking, kayaking, swimming and scuba. Hobart is Australia's second-oldest city, where historic buildings and districts stretch along the Derwent River. A burgeoning art and restaurant scene are complemented by fresh local seafood and established wineries.
