Tasmaina
Tasmania is the smallest state in Australia (approximately 67,000 sq km in size) and is the only island state. Hobart is the capital and located in the south-east of the state.
Tasmania is separated form mainland Australia by Bass Strait, a notoriously treacherous stretch of water. Due to its isolation it has maintained an untouched pristine beauty.
Tasmania is steeped in history, which is evident in the architecture of the old buildings still present today. Tasmania is a trekker's paradise with vast tracks of unspoiled wilderness. Cradle Mountain and the Franklin River are excellent examples of the untamed beauty of the state.
The weather, more often than not, is cold due to its southerly position. The higher areas in Tasmania are blanketed in snow over the winter months.
