Island of Tasmania Australia
See the best accommodation The state is named after Dutch explorer Abel Tasman, who made the first reported European sighting of the island on 24 November 1642. Tasman named the island Anthony van Diemen's Land after his sponsor Anthony van Diemen, the Governor of the Dutch East Indies. The name was later shortened to Van Diemen's Land by the British. It was officially renamed Tasmania in honour of its first European discoverer on 1 January 1856.[10] Tasmania was sometimes referred to as Dervon, as mentioned in The Jerilderie Letter written by the notorious Australian bushranger Ned Kelly in 1879. The colloquial expression for the state is Tassie. This name is often used in advertising campaigns, for example by the Bass Strait ferry, Spirit of Tasmania.[11]

Tessellated pavement, a rare rock formation on the Tasman Peninsula
It is believed that the island was joined to the mainland of Australia until the end of the last glacial period approximately 10,000 years ago. Much of the island is composed of Jurassic dolerite intrusions (upwellings of magma) through other rock types, sometimes forming large columnar joints. Tasmania has the world's largest areas of dolerite, with many distinctive mountains and cliffs formed from this rock type. The central plateau and the southeast portions of the island are mostly dolerite. Mount Wellington above Hobart is a good example, showing distinct columns known as the Organ Pipes. In the southern midlands as far south as Hobart, the dolerite is underlaid by sandstone and similar sedimentary stones. In the southwest, Precambrian quartzites are formed from very ancient sea sediments and form strikingly sharp ridges and ranges, such as Federation Peak or Frenchmans Cap. In the northeast and east, continental granites can be seen, such as at Freycinet, similar to coastal granites on mainland Australia. In the northwest and west, mineral-rich volcanic rock can be seen at Mount Read near Rosebery, or at Mount Lyell near Queenstown. Also present in the south and northwest is limestone with magnificent caves.
The quartzite and dolerite areas in the higher mountains show evidence of glaciation, and much of Australia's glaciated landscape is found on the Central Plateau and the Southwest. Cradle Mountain, another dolerite peak, for example, was a Nunatak. The combination of these different rock types offers incredible scenery, much of it distinct from any other region of the world. In the far south-west corner of the state, the geology is almost completely quartzite, which gives the mountains the false impression of having snow capped peaks year round.
[edit] Tasmania is an Australian island and state. It is 240 kilometres (150 mi) south of the continent, separated by Bass Strait. The state includes the island of Tasmania -- the 26th largest island in the world -- and the surrounding islands. The state has a population of 500,000 (as of December 2008[update]), of whom almost half reside in the greater Hobart precinct. Tasmania's area is 68,401 square kilometres (26,410 sq mi), of which the main island covers 62,409 square kilometres (24,096 sq mi).[7]
Tasmania is promoted as the natural state, the island of inspiration,[8] and A World Apart, Not A World Away owing to its large and relatively unspoiled natural environment. Almost 37% of Tasmania lies in reserves, national parks and World Heritage Sites.[9] The island is 364 kilometres (226 mi) long from northernmost to southernmost points, and 306 kilometres (190 mi) from west to east.
The state capital and largest city is Hobart, which encompasses the local government areas of City of Hobart, City of Glenorchy, and City of Clarence, while the satellite town of Kingston (part of the Municipality of Kingborough) is generally included in the Greater Hobart area. Other major population centres include Launceston in the north and Devonport and Burnie in the northwest. The subantarctic Macquarie Island is also under the administration of the state, as part of the Huon Valley Council local government area.
Tasmania Top 10 things to do & see
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

Hobart - Tasmania City Tour
Hobart (Listeni/ˈhoʊbɑːrt/)[4] is the capital and most populous city of the Australian island state of Tasmania. Founded in 1803 as a penal colony,[5] Hobart is Australia's second oldest capital city after Sydney, New South Wales. The city is located in the state's south-east on the estuary of the Derwent River, making it the most southern of Australia's capital cities and its harbour forms the second-deepest natural port in the world.[6]
In June 2013, the city had a greater area population of approximately 217,973.[1] Its skyline is dominated by the 1,271-metre (4,170 ft) Mount Wellington, and much of the city's waterfront consists of reclaimed land.[7] It is the financial and administrative heart of Tasmania, serving as the home port for both Australian and French Antarctic operations and acting as a major tourist hub, with over 1.192 million visitors in 2011/2012.[8] The metropolitan area is often referred to as Greater Hobart, to differentiate it from the City of Hobart, one of the five local government areas that cover the city
The first settlement began in 1803 as a penal colony at Risdon Cove on the eastern shores of the Derwent River, amid British concerns over the presence of French explorers. In 1804 it was moved to a better location at the present site of Hobart at Sullivans Cove. The city, initially known as Hobart Town or Hobarton, was named after Lord Hobart, the Colonial Secretary.
The area's indigenous inhabitants were members of the semi-nomadic Mouheneener tribe.[10] Violent conflict with the European settlers, and the effects of diseases brought by them, dramatically reduced the aboriginal population, which was rapidly replaced by free settlers and the convict population. Charles Darwin visited Hobart Town in February 1836 as part of the Beagle expedition. He writes of Hobart and the Derwent estuary in his Voyage of the Beagle:
LAND DOWN UNDER - Sharleen's Journey to Tasmania
In late December 2012 Sharleen made her first visit to Tasmania, the 5th province of Australia, a mystical and breath-taking 'Land Down Under.' Sharleen visited her only sister Karen and her husband John who have been living in Tasmania for over 20 years. Some of these photos were taken along the South Tasmanian coast, from a small ship in the Sea of Tasman where the largest known colony of wild fur seals reside. Dolphins and whales are often seen around these islands which are the last land masses seen by sailors making the long ocean journey south to the continent of Antarctica. A wide variety of strange and beautiful creatures, including the charming kangaroo and koala bear. Of course no trip to Tasmania would be complete without an encounter with the Tasmanian Devil whose open-mouthed image captured here is truly unforgettable!
EksplorOZ: Exploring the possibilities in Tasmania!
Some videos that I took on my trip to Tasmania in November 2014. Couldn't take a lot of video since I decided to take more pics and had to share the drive as well. I traveled in group of six, rent a car and mixed some existing itineraries from our friends with '60 Great Short Walks' to decide where we have to stop.
I took the booklet from Hobart Visitor Center and apparently it's now available for iOS devices. Find out more about it here:

Exploring Port Arthur Historic Site Tasmania Australia
Please watch: Chiang Mai Bus Station tour
--~--
Port Arthur Historic Site is located on the south coast of Tasmania Australia. Port Arthur Tasmania is one of Australia's most import convict sites.
The British needed somewhere to send their convicts. What better place than the other side of the world. Port Arthur is deemed so important that its a UNESCO world heritage site.
When you visit Tasmania like we did earlier this year a trip to Port Arthur should be on the list of things to do. Port Arthur is located an hour away from Hobart Tasmania. It's certainly one of the best things to do in Hobart and surrounds.
You can drive to Port Arthur or take a Port Arthur tour. We went to Port Arthur with Gray Line Australia on a 9-hour tour.
If you fancy something a bit different there are Port Arthur Ghost tours after the sun goes down. Port Arthur is reported to be one of the most haunted spots in Australia.
Port Arthur served as a jail, convict site from the 1830's through to the 1880's. Port Arthur was a cruel place to be sent where men were broken down both physically and mentally.
The Port Arthur official website states: Port Arthur Historic Site is a special place of vivid history, cultural heritage and stories so compelling, you’ll want to hear them again and again. It’s a place of global significance.

Tasmania Part 1 by The Australian Tourist
Tasmania is the only island state in Australia positioned at the bottom of the country south of Melbourne. Simply put Tasmania is a haven for Tourists. We were able to travel around in a Tasmanian camper which gave us the added benefit of having our transport, accommodation & cooking all in one. Tasmania is approximately 300km from north to south & east to west so you are going to need some transport, if you want to take full advantage of all that the island has to offer. Along our travels we saw an extreme number or bike riders peddling their way around Tasmania, after chatting with them they stated it was such a great place to cycle around as the towns aren't too far from each other. For those who don't want to brave the roads on a bike there are almost more campers then people available and every where you go there are caravan parks or hidden little places to park on the side of the road (you didn't hear that part from me). The scenery is incredible and there is great variety from the east to the west and the north to the south.
You can't go to Tasmania with out seeing the Tasmanian Devil or even try find the thought to be extinct Tasmanian Tiger. If your lucky enough you may spot a Tasmanian Devil in the wild but there are several wild life parks such as East Coast Nature World that you can get up close and take picture of the little devils.
Tasmania has a detailed history of convict life with one of the best places to see first hand, buildings and living conditions of the early convicts & settlers is at Port Arthur. Not far from Port Arthur are incredible cliffs with ocean caves, arches and natural stone structures. It may very well be worth while taking one of the many boat tours to show you around these areas.
As you travel around Tasmania you'll see many different types of farms including some famous vineyards that are well worth a stop.
Hobart has plenty to offer besides being a city & offering all the comforts of the city it also has the incredible Mt Wellington towering over it. Please don't go to Hobart with out the drive up Mt Wellington.
Tourism & travel in Tasmania is world class, if you live in Australia it's only a cheap flight away.
A special thanks to the Team at Tasmania Campers/ Devil Campers & East Coast Nature World for making our experience unforgettable, if you ever get the chance to talk with these great people let them know The Australian Tourist says hi.
A huge thanks to Allan Wolf & son from Stanley (The Nut) for the interview.
Tasmania, Australia
Recorded January 4-9, 2007
My six night stay in the Australian state of Tasmania. I base my stay in the capital city of Hobart where I drive to the top of Mount Wellington. From Hobart I take several day-trips. My first day trip was a scenic boat ride to the historic penal colony, Port Arthur. My next excursion was into the Huon Valley where I took a jet boat trip on the Huon River and visited the Tahune Forest Airwalk. Next was a scenic boat ride around Bruny Island. The final excursion was a scenic airplane flight to the Southwest World Heritage National Park where I took a boat ride around Bathurst Harbour. The video concludes with a visit to Mount Field National Park.
