Tasmania is the only island state of Australia. Tasmania is 67,800 square kilometres and has a population over 474,000 people. The Bass Strait is to the North, Tasman Sea to the East and the Southern Ocean to the South. The capital is Hobart which is well worth a visit.

National Parks are a plenty all over Tasmania, offering fabulous scenery, great walking trails and various outdoor activities. Waterfalls are also popular in Tasmania, including the beautiful Russell Falls.

As Australia's smallest state in terms of both size and population, it is a major tourist attraction due to the diverse scenery & unspoilt wilderness.

Tasmanian food producers produce delicacies that reflect Tasmania's pristine environment. From the Fine Cheese produced from the fields of King Island (off Tasmanias North West Coast), to the production of Tasmanias finest beer using the cleanest water in the world.

Tasmania has much the same temperate climate as other southern Australian states. Hobart, Tasmania's capital, receives less rain than any other Australian capital except Adelaide.

Hobart is located in the south-east of the state. Launceston is the largest city in the north.
