About Tasmania
Tasmania is Australia's southernmost state, a land of rugged beauty and wilderness. Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park features towering peaks, pristine lakes, and the challenging Overland Track hike. Wilderness rivers offer rafting and kayaking. The island's isolation has preserved ancient rainforests and endemic wildlife. The Gordon River's waters are gin-clear. The west coast is windswept and raw. Tasmania feels like the edge of civilization.
