Conclusion

Tasmania

An enchanting island state located off the southeast corner of the Australian mainland, Tasmania is steeped in history and old-world charm. The pace of life here matches the surroundings - tranquil and serene, for Tasmanians live their lives in an unhurried, relaxed manner. Roughly the size of West Virginia, the population of Tasmania is small - less than half a million people - and you'll rarely find crowds anywhere. But the primary lure of this compact isle is its diversity. With four distinct seasons, each time of year offers unique events and activities.

In addition to absorbing the historic charm of the island, it's possible to tramp through a rainforest, stroll through rustic fishing villages, explore old mining boom towns on the rugged West Coast or walk the endless white sand beaches. People also come from afar to fly-fish the streams and lakes, kayak the coast, or dive the ocean's depths, peep into seacaves and frolicking with dolphins.
