Escape from arid Australia
Posted in Tasmania on February 21st, 2009 by: editor
If you love Australia, but not the arid climate, you might want to visit Tasmania, the southernmost part of Australia. Tasmania has a history of housing the penal settlements of far gone colonial times, which is still part of the charm of the region. Colonial style-houses and remnants of the old prisons still remain on the island, which are both national heritage sites as well as tourist attractions.
There are a lot of activities here for tourists due to the region’s varied landscape that offers beaches and rugged mountains, as well as natural parks and reserves. Tasmania is generally considered to be one of the cleanest places on earth so there is minimal air and water pollution, so you can enjoy nature in all its majestic glory, whether inland or at sea.
