Tasmania With its pristine wilderness, complex convict history and outstanding local produce, Tasmania is an island not to be missed. Hear stories about its intriguing history, meet with local wildlife and lead your taste buds on a delicious journey.

Food & drink An unwavering focus on preserving the environment enables this tiny island state to produce much of its own fresh produce. Farmers markets, local eateries and friendly pubs are abundant, as well as finer high-end bars and restaurants. A truly authentic gastronomic experience, here is where you’ll find Australia’s ‘finest cheddar’ in production at the Pyengana Dairy Company, as well as some of the country’s leading cool climate wines, ciders, whisky and gin. Boutique breweries are all the rage, where producers can show off their wares during tasting sessions. Nature & wildlife Due to its size, it’s not difficult to venture into the differing environments. National Parks and World Heritage wilderness make up nearly half of Tasmania’s terrain and these are where you can expect to find mammals, birds and reptiles, some of which are unique to this area. Mt. Field National Park is the oldest, while the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park and Cradle Mountain-Lake Saint Clair National Park promises excellent views of Cradle Mountain on a clear day.
