Tasmania
For those who have never been to the smallest states of Australia, Tasmania or Tassi, it seems shrouded in mystery. This would be the state's vast location across the rugged Bass Strait, about 300 kilometers south of mainland Australia. Perhaps it is an endless, vast wilderness of windswept wilderness. Almost half of Tasmania's territory is located in national parks and World Heritage Sites, with sparkling alpine lakes, rugged rivers, and misty peaks.
Perhaps bizarre wildlife, from the real Tasmanian devil to the extinct Tasmanian tiger, the thylacine. Or is it a haunting history of beautifully preserved historic cities with prisoners where time seems to have stopped? Today, this mystery attracts more and more tourists to discover the island's many gems. With its precise heart shape, the Tasmania is also a true gourmet. Fine cream cheese, crunchy fruit and sweet seafood are just some mouth-watering local specialties, and spending time in a waterfront café or restaurant is one of the best things to do in the port city of Hobart.
- Cost: Mid-range as Tasmania isn't one of the nation's more expensive states, but summer is its peak season.
- How long should I stay? 4-5 days.
- Recommended hotel: Treat yourself to a spot on the waterfront at the Old Woolstore Apartment Hotel. Don't forget to check out the bar and restaurant, which come highly recommended by guests.
