More About Tasmania
Just an hour’s flight from the mainland, Tasmania is Australia‘s smallest state and an up-and-coming holiday destination. It offers fantastic outdoor activities, diverse wildlife and a unique history. The state capital, Hobart, is a sleepy city with Victorian architecture and a friendly atmosphere. It has plenty to offer the discerning traveller, from upmarket boutiques to cafes serving delicious food. You could take a trip to the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens which has a fascinating Subantarctic area and the largest collection of mature conifers in the Southern Hemisphere. Seasoned shoppers will appreciate Salamanca Market which is held every Saturday - over 300 stalls showcasing Tasmanian products including fresh produce, art, leather goods, wines, clothing, jewellery and more. One of the most famous landmarks on the island is Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair, National Park. Filled with ancient rainforests and alpine heaths, this stunning area is popular with walkers and hikers and is home to the famous Overland Track and iconic Cradle Mountain. Another national park well worth a visit is the absolutely beautiful Freycinet National Park at Coles Bay - the views are simply breathtaking! Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, Tasmania's most popular wildlife park. This is a great place to see native animals such as the famous Tassie Devil, Tasmanian Pademelon and Eastern Quoll as well as koalas, kangaroos, wombats, possums, birds and more. Travelling on to Launceston, which is considered to be Tasmania's second city, you're well placed to visit Cataract Gorge, the Tamar Island Wetlands and the Tamar Valley Wineries.
