About Tasmania
Tasmania is Australia’s own emerald isle, 20% of which is World Heritage-listed national park. It has highly acclaimed wine and food plus European heritage dating back to the early 1800s. The locals have a well-earned reputation as being the friendliest people in Australia.
The island has a good network of roads and a number of regional airports. Overnight ferries take about 10 hours to cross the Bass Strait to Melbourne.
