Why Come Tasmania, Australia?

TOUR THE TASMANIA INTERACTIVE MAP

Tasmania the 'Apple Isle' possess magnificent lakes, mountains, beaches, rivers, waterfalls, and so much more. The appeal is how easy it is to traverse the whole island in a few days. Historic settlements of quaint stone cottages that have been converted into snug intimate accommodation dot the landscape. Like most Australian states it is so contrasting. The north is rugged and mountainous and Cradle Mountain with its magnificent lake is a must for hikers. The cities of Hobart and Launceston have a sense of history and cosiness perhaps lacking in the more modern of Australia's capitals. There are numerous historical reminders of Tasmania's dark history of its days as a ruthless penal colony.
