Tasmania the fruit bowl of Australia
Few places in the world offer the electrifying vibrancy of Tasmania, where natural and cultural splendor coexist. Off the southeast coast of Australia, across the Bass Strait, Tasmania is both secluded and cosmopolitan: you can enjoy world-class cuisine and entertainment in its bustling towns or find breathtaking solitude in its wild and rugged nature.

Wherever you visit, you'll appreciate Tasmania's rich human history. Tasmanian Aborigines have inhabited the diverse island for thousands of years and their heritage is shaped from the mountain saddle to the river delta. So also that of the British, who settled there at the beginning of the 19th century. Today, you'll find a full range of contemporary Tasmanians enjoying the good life in cities like Hobart and Launceston or in rural settings like Midlands sheep country. Enjoy fine dining in a restaurant that celebrates local ingredients - from seafood to island meats - or catch a rock concert or orchestral performance.

However, you don't want to limit yourself to attractions in Tasmania's established regions. The island contains some of the most unique and wildest places on the planet, from temperate rainforests of giant eucalyptus - some of the tallest trees in the world - to gnarled mountains eroded by ancient highlands. Watch the wind blow over beautiful lakes, against looming crests and rocks, or look out over the rising Southern Ocean.
Look out for some of Tasmanian endemic animals, from the quick-tempered and charming handsome Tasmanian devil to a variety of wonderful honey eaters. Adventurous travelers can take long walks inland, such as along the Overland Track, which passes through some of the most pristine and scenic areas on the island.
Tasmania has a knack for confusing expectations and turning heads in the best possible way. This is one of those gorgeous places like nothing else - it's challenging, beautifully Tasmanian, and all the locals will be happy to show you the island's unique treasures.
