What makes Tasmania unique
Tasmania is Australia's only island state.  It is a heart-shaped island of lush green valleys, uncrowded towns and villages and still undeveloped coastlines.

It is one of the world's most mountainous islands and while our peaks do not tower to great heights, they are unique in their serrated profile. Our geology reflects our connection millions of years ago to Antarctica, and we are one of the few places in the world where ancient dolorite rocks dominates the landscape.

Our climate is mild and our rainfall regular.  The Roaring Forty winds that travel across our island bring with them the cleanest air in the world.  But in less than300 kilometres the weather patterns change dramatically.  On the west coast the average rainfall is around three metres a year, while on the east coast it's less than 20 centimetres.

So we invite you to come to the edge of the world and explore our island and meet our residents.  It will be an experience you will always remember.
