Tasmania - the apple isle

Exploring Tasmania

The main part of Tasmania is a very special heart shaped island 150 miles or so south of the Australian mainland. It comprises hundreds of islands spread over thousands of miles of ocean, two of them are almost half the way to Africa, but noone lives there :-). The population is around half a million people and we attract about that many visitors a year. Many visitors enjoy extended vacations, here's some information for you, purely for entertainment. If you're intending to rely on it for a thesis or something important, please verify the information from other sources. And if you have anything to add, please send us a note.
