Scenic Tasmania

Tasmania is a small island off the southern tip of eastern Australia. This rugged country has a temperate climate, high rainfall, and most of the population lives near coastal rivers. The government has strong requirements for environmental sensitivity so the interior of the island is virtually untouched. The island is heavily forested and is filled with unique flora species.

Some of the most popular activities here are cricket, Australian rules football, and basketball. Every year, many events are held, including:

Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race

Targa Tasmania Road Rally

Agfest

Antarctic MidWinter Festival

Taste of Tasmania
