Tasmania - General Info


Tasmania is a natural island – a land of dramatic coastlines, rugged mountains, mysterious rainforests and sparkling highland lakes. Over one-third of the state is reserved in a network of National Parks and the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, a refuge and habitat for rare plants and animals, including survivors of the ancient southern super continent, Gondwana.

Tasmania’s wild and beautiful landscapes; friendly, welcoming people; a pleasant, temperate climate; wonderful wine and food; a rich history and a relaxed island lifestyle attract people from different parts of the world.

Tasmania has one of the world’s best beaches and is rated as ‘the world’s best temperate island’.

The state is home to some of Australia's most talented artists. Whether it's live theatre, written works, exquisite hand-made jewellery, land and seascape paintings, or magnificent one-off furniture designs, Tasmania has these all.
