Holidays in Tasmania

On the southern tip of Australia, washed by the cleanest oceans and the freshest air in the world, lies the island of Tasmania – Australia’s Natural State. Holidays in Tasmania are one of the best places to see Australian wildlife in their natural habitat including wombats, wallabies and the unique Tasmanian Devil! With friendly welcoming people, a relaxed island lifestyle, dramatic coastlines, rugged mountains, tall forests and over a third of the state reserved in a network of National Parks and World Heritage Areas, holidays in Tasmania offer the perfect touring destination. According to experienced travellers, Tasmania has one of the world’s best beaches – Wineglass Bay, the world’s best little town – Strahan, and is rated as the best island for holidays in Australia.

Tasmania, the southern tip of Australian territory, is an island separated from the mainland by the Bass Strait. It is a place of wild and beautiful landscapes and friendly, relaxed people, with a temperate climate, rich history and slow pace of life. There is no hustle and bustle here, even in the cities. No traffic jams and no smog. Encircled by the Southern Ocean, Tasman Sea and Bass Strait, the air is clean, the water pure and the soil fertile. More than one third of Tasmania is preserved in a network of national parks and the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The island's European heritage goes back to the early 1800s, but Aboriginals first reached it about 40,000 years ago.
