Tasmania, the island state south of mainland Australia,

has some of the world's most beautiful untouched wilderness.

Tasmania is the greatest place to visit.

Everything is in close proximity; shopping,

entertainment, sporting venues, beaches and

national parks. Where else can you live in a city and

be one hour's drive from a world heritage

wilderness, or five minutes away from the theatre.

Tasmania has no extremes in temperature.

In the city areas the average daily maximum

temperature in summer is 23 degrees celcius

and 12 degrees in the winter.

Tasmania is an ideal place for families to

explore with readily accessable natural features,

established reserves and beaches.

Forty per cent of our island is covered in

forest and we have fourteen major National Parks.

Here you will find safe, sheltered beaches

with crystal clear water as well as abundant native wildlife.

There are hundreds of safe walks, superb scenery

and excellent picnic and camping facilities.

The highlands of Tasmania is a special place with

some of the world's best trout fishing waters.

Whether a highly skilled fly fisher or just a pleasure seeker,

the waters are available to everyone.

There is even expert tuition on how to catch a fish!

Tasmania's cool, temperate climate together

with crisp clean air, pristine waterways

and no animal or plant diseases all add

to our significance in profile to a high quality food and

beverage island. Our bays and estuaries are

an ideal environment for world class

developments in the shellfish and aquaculture industries.

The rain forests of Tasmania produce a special

tree named Leatherwood and the honey produced from

its blossoms has won worldwide acclaim.

Tasmanian vineyards offer great diversity in style

and presentation of their wines.

Located in some of the most scenic areas of Tasmania,

visitors are welcome to sample their unique wines and hospitality.

Alcoholic beverages produced in Tasmania are

recognised for their quality nationally and internationally.

Non-alcoholic beverage ranges take advantage of

the finest apples and other fruits grown in Tasmania.

Because Tasmania boasts an abundance of fine produce,

it has earned an exemplary reputation worldwide.

Our skilled and innovative chefs and restauranteurs

offer the finest of seafood and game,

succulent meats, juicy seasonal fruits and crisp,

garden vegetables, with a myriad of exquisite cheeses,

sublime chocolates and ice cream for your grand finale.

And always with a fine wine, beer or juice to complement your food.
