Tasmania's small enough to get around easily but big enough to be filled with a million reasons to visit. The forests are greener than envy, the beaches bluer than blue and the mountain areas so wild and untamed you'd think you were in some surreal nature movie.  The coastlines are like nothing you've ever seen before and the rivers and waterways are just waiting to be swum in, dived into, ridden on and fished silly.

And then of course, there's the cities - don't the names alone make you want to visit? - Hobart, Devonport, Strahan, Burnie, Launceston, Richmond. Exquisite restaurants, cool bars, terrific shopping and great places just to sit and take it all in. Find your favourite adjective and you'll be able to use it over and over in Tasmania.  

Look around, dig a little deeper and go for what really excites you. Planning your stay here will really pay off. Just make sure you allow enough time to see all we have to offer. Or most of it anyway.

Tasmania the 'Apple Isle', possesses magnificent lakes, mountains, beaches, rivers, waterfalls and so much more. Compared to the rest of Australia, Tasmania's diminutive size is one of its attractions since it is possible to see much of the island in a few days.

If you sail on the Spirit of Tasmania into Devonport near the north coast, it will take around three and a half hours to drive to Hobart on the south of the island.
