Tasmania - The Last Paradise

Tasmania, Australia’s island state has the world's cleanest air, fresh ocean seafood and friendly harbour-side cities only a short drive from ancient rainforests, rugged mountains and spectacular coastline, all just one hour’s flight south of Melbourne.

In Tasmania it's easy to get close to nature - more than 40 per cent of the island is national parks and reserves. Befriend a wombat on a mountain stroll, see Tasmanian devils at a wildlife park or watch penguins waddle up the beach.

Tasmania’s pristine environment brings forth the freshest of produce and the most elegant wines - pick your own strawberries at a fruit farm, shuck oysters straight from the sea, learn how bees make honey. Nothing beats our fresh oysters or abalone.

Whether you have just a few days or a week to cover the island, the scenery will take your breath away!
