Tasmania is labelled the most natural state as it has over 37% of its space in natural reserves and parklands which is world heritage listed. The island is only 350 kilometres long but is a natural beauty to discover.

The Capital of Tasmania is Hobart located on the Derwent River and was once a penal colony settlement when Australia was first discovered. Originally Tasmania was labelled Van Diemen’s Land after Abel Tasman on the sighting of the island on the 24th November 1642.

Today Tasmania is a hot spot tourist destination as the island hosts many mountains, forests, national parks and environmental destinations including a mountainous region where volcanos were once active.
