Separated from mainland Australia by the 240 km stretch of Bass Strait,
Tasmania is a land apart – a place of wild and beautiful landscapes; friendly,
welcoming people; a pleasant, temperate climate; wonderful wine and food; a rich
history; and a relaxed island lifestyle.
According to experienced travellers who’ve criss-crossed the globe in search
of excellence, Tasmania has one of the world’s 10 best beaches (Wineglass Bay,
US-based Outside magazine), the world’s best little town (Strahan, Chicago Tribune) and was rated equal third, in the world, for wise land
stewardship by National Geographic Traveler magazine’s Sustainable Tourism
Initiative.
