The city of Melbourne is quite artistic, quite urban, with a variety of art galleries, cafes, trendy clubs, funky boutiques and luxury hotels.  Melbourne, Australia is the place to visit for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in culture, incredible and diverse architecture, fine seafood cuisine…a city-life vacation filled with charm and history.  However, should one find themselves in this part of the world, one would be forever grateful if they found their way to Tasmania.  Tasmania is the only island state of Australia, sitting just one hundred and fifty miles of the South Eastern shore of the country.  For those loving their vacation in Melbourne, but perhaps wanting a little bit of the rugged, un-disturbed outdoors, Tasmania offers a different side of Australia, that is just a boat cruise away.  And there are many reasons why, when so close to the island from the mainland, one should not miss this little island.

Science has proven that the air surrounding the island of Tasmania is the cleanest air in the world, team that with soil that is fertile and rich, and not only does it feel good to be there, the fruits and vegetables, and the wines produced, and the seafood caught is some of the healthiest and most delicious in all the world.  The seasons, while there are four distinct, they are mild.  For those wanting to do a bit of climbing, there are more than one thousand peaks to scale in the mountain ranges.  Almost half of the island is protected, providing many parks and animal reserves wherein one may catch a glimpse of some of the rarest species in the world.  One of the best ways to experience the island, and perfect for those with penchant for photography, is to simple walk it, to hike it.  For those enthusiasts, there is the famous Overland Track walk, which takes six days through some of the most scenic spots on earth.  For those just spending a day or two away from their vacation in Melbourne, there are more than sixty walks to choose from which vary in times and levels of difficulty.  Tasmania has something for everyone.
