📍 Destination Overview
Tasmania, Australia's southernmost island state, is separated from the mainland by Bass Strait and is the country's most pristine wilderness. About forty percent is national parks, including the UNESCO Tasmanian Wilderness. Hobart's Salamanca Market, Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair, endemic wildlife like the Tasmanian devil, and fine food and wine define this pristine land.
