Tasmania

Yes. It is an island off the coast of southeastern Australia. It is one of the country's six states (Australia has six states and two territories).

• Tasmania is Australia's island state, and its southernmost state.
• It is home to the Tasmanian devil, the largest carnivorous marsupial (dasyurid).
• It used to be home to an even larger dasyurid, the Thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger.
• The length of Tasmania's coastline is 2833 km, plus another 2049 km of smaller island coastlines.
• The highest mountain in Tasmania is Mt Ossa, at 1617 m high.
• Most of Tasmania is wilderness.
• Tasmania's rainforest is cool temperate rainforest, and contains some of Australia's most ancient plant life.
• Tasmania was originally home to one of Australia's most notoriously cruel convict prisons, Port Arthur.
• Tasmania is the only state of Australia where dingoes are not found.
• Tasmania was named after Dutch seafarer and explorer Abel Janszoon Tasman who discovered it on 24 November 1642.
• Tasmania was formerly named Van Diemen's Land. Tasman named it "Antony Van Diemen's Land" in honour of the High Magistrate, or Governor-General of Batavia.
• The first known Europeans to set foot on Van Diemen's Land were members of Tasman's crew, who stepped ashore on 2 December 1642. The men collected green plants, including sea parsley, or wild celery, to help ward off scurvy among the sailors.
• The island's name was changed to Tasmania in 1855, over sixty years after British colonists settled the Australian continent.
• Tasmania is the home of Australia's deepest lake, Lake St Clair. The Inland Fisheries Service of Tasmania states that Lake St Clair has a maximum depth of 174 metres.

As Tasmania is one of Australia's states, the instruments used there will be the same as the instruments used throughout Australia. there is a great variety of westernised instruments, as well as instruments from other cultures.

Hobart is the capital city of Australia's island state of Tasmania, and is Australia's southernmost capital city. As Australia's second oldest capital city, it is famous for his history and its convict origins.

Not at all. Hobart is the capital city of the island state of Tasmania, but with a population of around 212,000 it is a long way behind the larger capital cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. It is also smaller than Australia's national capital, Canberra.

It is even smaller than several regional cities such as the Gold Coast (Queensland), Newcastle and Wollongong (NSW).

It was named after Lord Hobart, the Colonial Secretary. at the time (early 1800s)

The species of wombat found in Tasmania is the Common wombat. This species is also found on the mainland, in the southeastern states of Australia.The Southern Hairy nosed wombat is primarily limited to parts of South Australia, while the Northern hairy nosed wombat, which is critically endangered, is restricted to just the Epping Forest National Park in Wueensland, and now a new location as well, the Richard Underwood Nature Refuge.

There are millions of trees in Tasmania. A large amount of Tasmania is still wilderness.

Tasmania is part of the Commonwealth of Australia. It is the country's island state.

Although it is an island, Tasmania is in fact joined to the Australian mainland by an undersea land bridge which was flooded thousands of years ago.

Australia does not have ranchers. This is an American term.

Farmers and other landowners in Australia do not hate the Tasmanian devil, as they are now better informed that this marsupial does not pose any real threat to their stock. Many years ago, however, the landowners believed that the Tasmanian devil (and its distant cousin, the Thylacine or Tasmanian tiger) were a threat to their livestock. They were concerned that these animals would kill off their stock. The Tasmanian devil did pose some threat to the farmers' poultry.

These people did not realise that Tasmanian devils prefer carrion and smaller, easy prey, and that they tend to occupy areas where there is a lot of undergrowth, rather than to venture out into the open agricultural areas.

They farmers also expected the behaviour of Tasmanian devils to be like that of foxes and wild dogs, which often involved indiscriminate killing. Tasmanian devils only killed what they needed to eat, and were far less of a threat than the introduced foxes, dogs and feral cats.

It is located in Tasmania on the Tasman Peninsula.

Tasmania is an island state and shares only one land or sea border - and that is with Victoria. Apart from this, it is surrounded by Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean.

King Island and Flinders Island, both off the north coast in Bass Strait, and Bruny Island off the south-east coast.

Yes, there are many captive breeding programs to help save the Tasmanian devil. Scientists are breeding Tasmanian Devils in captivity to limit the spread of the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD). This disease is a great threat to Tasmanian devils living in the wild, affecting some two-thirds of the population.

The Australian Government now has initiatives and programs set up to preserve the species. Tasmanian devils are being housed in captive breeding programmes, which should prevent the extinction of the marsupial, but not necessarily in the wild. There is a nation-wide Captive Breeding Program (CBP) called the 'Insurance Population' which is managed by the Zoological and Aquariums Association (ZAA) in coordination with the Tasmanian Governments 'Save the Tasmanian Devil Program' (STTDP).

Nothing, any more. Tasmanian tigers are believed to be extinct, with no sightings since the 1930s. They used to be Australia's largest carnivorous marsupial, feeding on other mammals and probably birds if the opportunities arose.
