| Tasmania is rich in history, being
one of the earliest settled areas in Australia. The landscape
ranges from hundreds of mountains, craggy weather-beaten
geological formations up to 5000 feet high, More coastline that
the state of New South Wales, adventure sports challenges to rival
anything in the world, especially surfing, scuba diving, bush
walking, kayaking and sailing. On the gentler side Tasmania is
renowned for its gourmet food, often taken for granted by the
spoiled local population of about half a million. Dozens of golf
courses, thousands of both freshwater, big game, estuary and sea
fishing spots are accessible from major centres of Hobart and
Launceston. The best tip I can give you is give yourself plenty of
time if you intend to do a round trip. It's bigger than you think,
so if you have limited time stick to one region, you'll find it
much more relaxing, remember you can always come back.
So, come on down to 'Tassie',
you'll love it. Kelvin Markham |
