Australia: Tasmania - Rough Guides

It used to be a âmainlander'sâ joke that Tasmania was twenty years behind the rest of Australia. And in some ways this island state remains old-fashioned, a trait that is charming and frustrating by turns. Yet increasingly Australians are beginning to wonder whether the joke might have been on them after all. The isolation that once stymied growth in Tasmania is now seen as an asset.

History, Travel, Arts, Science, People, Places - Smithsonian

Tasmania, an island slightly larger than Nova Scotia, is one step farther removed than the rest of the Australian continent, hidden under its southern shore and cut off by the violent seas of the Bass Strait. Nature is on a dramatic scale here: over 3.4-million acres of its area is protected wilderness, including ancient rainforests, jagged peaks and powerful rivers.
