Wilderness and Nature

The Tasmanian World Heritage Area has a greater range of natural and cultural values than any other region on earth. And with 40 per cent of the island protected as national parks and reserves, you don’t have to travel far to be walking through ancient rainforest.

Wildlife

With accessible wilderness and plenty of wildlife sanctuaries, Tasmania is the ideal destination to get up close with native Australian animals. See wombats, wallabies, pademelons, endemic birds and more. It’s also the one place on earth you’ll find a Tasmanian devil in the wild.

Food and Wine

In Tasmania, you can stop by road side stalls with lush berries, shuck oysters fresh from the sea, sample fine Belgian truffles and pick up a bottle of bubbly from wine country so fine, it’s rumoured to be second only to Champagne itself.

Ideal Self-Drive Destination

Tasmania is easy to explore by car- it is compact, the roads uncrowded and scenery varied. The benefit of its size means you can stand atop a mountain and feel sand between your toes on the same afternoon drive.
