Tasmania is located 240 km south of the eastern side of the continent, being separated from it by Bass Strait. The state of Tasmania includes the island of Tasmania, and other surrounding islands. Tasmania has an estimated population of 493,300 and an area of 68,401 km².
Tasmania promotes itself as the Natural State and the "Island of Inspiration" owing to its large, and relatively unspoiled natural environment.
The state capital and largest city is Hobart. Other major population centres include Launceston in the north, and Devonport and Burnie in the northwest.

Climate
Outdoors, it’s the season to have fun in the snow, ski over frozen tarns or walk the quiet streets of an historic country town. Indoors it’s a perfect time to search for hidden treasures in a gallery, antique or art & craft shop, or to sample Tasmanian fare in a cosy restaurant. And while winter evenings are made for the glow of an open fire, winter days can be calm, clear, crisp and bracing – choose one of our wonderful short walks, pull on a warm jacket, then head outdoors and enjoy yourself!
