Lying 240 kilometres off the southeastern corner of Australia beyond the Bass Strait, Tasmania, or Tassie as it is known by the locals, is the smallest Australian state. Its dramatic coastline harbours a pleasant landscape punctuated by national parks, charming towns and a slew of caves.
Options for getting active in Tasmania are superb and its lofty terrain and beautiful landscape make for a fun time for outdoor lovers and those with kids. The horseback riding is particularly good in Tassie, while camping, caving, jet-boating, rock climbing, scuba diving and white-water rafting can all be done year-round.
Top sights in Tasmania include Hobart and Launceston – two of the most easygoing cities in Australia – a host of national parks, and great caving. The more discerning traveller might like to head offshore to laid-back Flinders Island, or to the remote Tassie northwest.
Hobart Airport, to the east of Hobart city centre, is the main gateway to Tasmania and is served by national and regional airlines including Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin Blue. Launceston, Burnie, and Devonport also have airports with direct flights from the Australian mainland.
