Judy Bailey's Tasmanian Travels
A world apart, but definitely not a world away, Tasmania just keeps on adding to its attractions. Long a favourite holiday spot for Aussies from the
'mainland', Australia's island state offers a perfect, pristine environment for artisan food producers of every description. But there's much, much more:
towering forests, deserted beaches, historic sites, beautiful mountains and unique native wildlife, including the iconic Tasmanian devil. Want more? There are modern, cosmopolitan cities, cafés, world-class art museums and galleries and chic boutique hotels. Tasmania, it seems,
just can't stop being amazing.
