Elope to Tasmania

Tasmania

Tasmania, an isolated island state off Australia’s south-east coast, is known for its vast, rugged wilderness areas, largely protected within parks and reserves. On the Tasman Peninsula, the19th-century Port Arthur penal settlement is now an open-air museum.  It’s the most geographically diverse state with over 40 per cent reserved as national parks and world heritage wilderness.  Tassie (Aussie slang for Tasmania) is the perfect place to have a self-drive holiday: The landscape is stunning and the place is rich in history, with a cooler climate than most of Australia. 

Tassie is home to the iconic Tasmanian Devil – named in the early settler days when people would hear it’s cry and think it was the devil.
