Tasmania is the one and only island state of Australia, encapsulating 67,800 square kilometres and housing 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.
There are plenty of National Parks all over Tasmania, offering fabulous scenery, great walking trails and various outdoor activities. Waterfalls are also popular in Tasmania, including the beautiful Russell Falls.
In South Tasmania a visit to the Southwest National Park, the largest National Park in Tasmania is recommended. This National Park is great for walking and appreciating nature with a number of endangered and rare plants and spectacular waterfalls awaiting discovery. Also in the South is Bruny Island which is made of two parts, North Bruny Island and South Bruny Island, connected by an isthmus. A ferry service from Kettering, roughly a 40 minute drive south from Hobart is reasonably priced.
East Tasmania offers pretty beaches, the states capital city, Hobart and plenty more. If you like history, Port Arthur, is an interesting place to visit. The Tasman Peninsula offers unusual rock formations, nice walks and the Tasman National Park.
Further North is Swansea with historical buildings and beautiful scenery and views towards Freycinet Peninsula which can be reached by boat. Further North again is Bicheno, a nice fishing town where diving is popular and fresh fish can be bought at the harbour.
Tasmania’s North Coast offers spectacular landscape and coastal areas. There are some great inland towns and a number of rivers to be explored. The North Coast is home to the popular port Devonport where you will find some great museums and galleries. The beautiful natural surrounds of Mt William National Park are not to be missed nor is the oldest city in Australia Launceston. Hard money training
