Tasmania is an island state of Australia, located 240 kilometers to the south of the Australian mainland. It is known for its rugged wilderness and stunning natural landscapes, with around 40% of the island designated as national parks and World Heritage Sites. The capital city is Hobart, which is known for its historic architecture and vibrant arts scene.
The island's unique biodiversity includes many species found nowhere else in the world, such as the Tasmanian devil. Tasmania's environment is characterized by a mix of forests, mountains, and coastlines, making it a popular destination for outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, and wildlife watching.
Tasmania has a rich history, initially inhabited by the Aboriginal people for thousands of years before European exploration in the 17th century. In 1803, it was established as a British penal colony, and much of its heritage can still be seen in its historic towns and sites. Today, Tasmania is known for its food, particularly its fresh seafood, cheeses, and wines.
