No. There are several rainforests, which come under the heading of "cool temperate rainforest", and together, they cover about 10% of Tasmania. Within these rainforests, there are four different varieties of rainforest: * callidendrous , meaning planty of tall trees * thamnic, meaning lower-growing and shrubby * implicate, meaning tangled * montane, meaning mountainous
Tasmania has several rainforests. They are not tropical rainforests, of course, but cool temperate rainforests. Many of these rainforests are not named, but one of them is Russell Falls - Mt Field National Park, Tasmania.

Tasmanian Devils live in Tasmania, the island state of Australia. Their habitat is coastal heath, open dry sclerophyll forest and mixed sclerophyll-rainforest. There may be specimens in some zoos round the world but the animal originated in Tasmania and the Australian mainland. However, there are no longer any remaining on the mainland.
Tasmania is the only state of Australia which is not part of the mainland.Tasmania also has a much cooler temperature year-round than the mainland states.Tasmania is the only state in which the Tasmanian Devil is found in the wild (although it once roamed the whole continent).Tasmania is the smallest of all of the states (discounting the territory of the ACT)The island is predominantly bushland and cool temperate rainforest, whereas the other states have fewer areas of rainforest in relation to their entire area.

There is only one species of platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) so the kind you find in Eastern Australia and Tasmania is the same one you find everywhere else that it lives. (Of course Eastern Australia and Tasmania is about the only place you will find the platypus in the wild - and note that Tasmania is actually part of Australia.)

Tasmania is about 80% the size of Ireland. Ireland covers an area of 32,595 square miles, while Tasmania only covers 26,410.
They are almost all on the west coast, the wetter part of Tasmania. Tasmania has some of the last temperate rainforest in the world and many people protest to make them protected. The Tarkine Wilderness Area is a good example of rainforest in Tasmania.
