Tasmania The Island State

The Island State "as a battle cry, Tasmania, only island state of Australia, proudly retains its uniqueness within the federation. Isolated from the mainland by the rushing waters of Bass Strait, it seems a world apart, even though only 250 km separate it from the southern tip of Australia. It nevertheless finds the same Aussies, meek ​​and friendly to the extreme, beer lovers and outdoor life - but here they are called Tassies. And as in Australia, an amazing bestiary leaping marsupials and improbable platypus help shape our imagination throughout the extraordinary world.
Once spanned the strait, where does this feeling so strong Australian accents, certainly, but the alien face?
Of its history, which first made Tasmania a land of exile, the one where the British colonial society sent its convicts. What's harder to burn the identity of a nation that was built on the basis as brutal?
Of nature, then. Where mainland Australia shines red and gold sands of the Red Centre, Tasmania sparkles with clear streams, bursts of intense green of its rainforests, you caress a comforting sun after you iced by the bite of its winter wind. Here, you feel closer to the snowy mountains of New Zealand as the intoxicating dust of the Australian outback.
Nature precisely. She's the one we just look at this little-known state, isolated on the other side of the world, only accessible from mainland Australia. Yet it deserves to be known. Australians have understood: they come more and more to holiday in Tasmania, and even move there permanently, causing a dramatic surge in property prices! Follow their example and enjoy your visit to the land of kangaroos to pop back ... if possible in several weeks, as this generous land savored slowly, like a wine which he is so proud.
