Why is Tasmania a good holiday place?

Answer 1

Tasmania is an island state of Australia which lies 240 kilometres south of the Australian eastern seaboard. It offers a great deal for the traveller, and caters for a variety of holiday experiences. You can:

• enjoy the history of the island, including take a tour of one of Australia's most brutal penal colonies at Port Arthur
• see the fairy penguins as they return to their nests at night, at Bicheno, Bruny Island, Devonport, Ulverstone, Burnie, Stanley or, funnily enough, Penguin
• see the Alpenrail Swiss Model Village & Railway, one of the largest model railway layouts in Australia in a representation of the Bernese Alps area of Switzerland
• go on fantastic bush walks or rugged mountain walks
• go skiing (and try other snow sports) in Winter
• enjoy water sports in Summer, including Scuba diving
• get close to native wildlife such as echidnas and Tasmanian Devils
• enjoy the spectacular high trees and dense forests and bushland

This is just a small sample. There are many more things to experience at Tasmania. One of the main attractions of the island is simply that there is so much diversity in such a small area.
