Tasmania, unique landscapes, amazing hikes, distinctive wildlife, and thrilling history. Tasmania is the destination where visitors can truly escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, and enjoy the peaceful and remote lifestyle of the islanders.
The island is located 240 km in front of the Australian landscape, and also Australia’s smallest but most diverse geographical state with snowy mountains, white sandy beaches, heathlands, and old rainforest. With at least 40% of the island preserved as world heritage sites and national parks, it is an absolute must-visit destination for every traveler who loves to experience the beauty of raw nature.
Not only is Tasmania famous for its stunning natural surroundings, but the island is also renowned for having the cleanest air in the world, its rich culture, and distinctive wildlife like the famous Tasmanian Devil you may remember from old cartoons. In addition, the island also provides its visitors with a culinary experience like no other. Tasmania is known for its organic farming and clean air and water which results in the production of premium fresh products and specialty foods.
With its rich soils and unspoiled oceans foodie lovers can taste some of the purest ingredients. Tasmania offers a unique and fun range of places for visitors to experience and get a taste of the rich and delicious flavors of the products. You can pick up your own fresh vegetables at a market, try out ‘homegrown’ products, visit a stall alongside the road, go to a berry farm to pick your own berries or drive down to a marine farm for amazing seafood.
Another major factor in the richness and purity of the food is the sustainable farming Tasmania practices. The island has 125 certified organic operators. And has one of the most intensive organic production of Australia. You can head down to one of the farms stays to learn more about sustainable farming itself and experience first hand what it is like to live and run a farm. You might even discover a new career path!
