These are the absolute highlights for a visit to Tasmania, Australia. The island of Tasmania is located 250 km south of the mainland of Australia and can be reached by boat or airplane. It is named after the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman. The island has a population of about 500.000 and the capital is Hobart. 1. Cradle Mountain - surrounded by glacial lakes, ancient rainforest, and unusual alpine vegetation. From here you can start the Overland Track. 2. Bay of Fires - Fabulously coloured stones in this Bay, but the name of the bay comes from the many fires of Tasmanian Aboriginals that were seen by Thomas Furneaux in 1773. 3. Maria Island - The island is shaped like a number eight and is completely protected as a national park. You can enjoy the fossilated cliffs and the painted cliffs at low tide 4. Wineglass Bay - Freycinet National park harvests the perfectly curved Wineglass Bay 5. Launceston - The largest single span chairlift over the fabulous Cataract Gorge 6. South West National Park - Tasmania's largest national park harvests wild rivers and rugged mountains. It is very desolate, so bring all your supplies with you. 7. Port Arthur Historic Site - Marvel at the spooky ruins and restored homes where many convicts were being punished from the prison's establishment in1830 until its closure in 1877 8. Remarkable Cave - This cave is really remarkable. At low tide you can walk through the cave, but at high tide you have to avoid the big waves 9. Penguin - watching penguins come ashore on the north coast of Tasmania 10. Hobart - Panoramic views from Mount Wellington to Bruny Island, South Arm and the Tasman Peninsula Recommended places to stay: Launceston: https://goo.gl/ywGAHZ Hobart: https://goo.gl/mIoucn Strahan: https://goo.gl/cYSJFz Strathgordon: https://goo.gl/x1DRUj Hope you enjoyed this short video.
