Tasmania (TAS)

Tasmania is both an island and a state of Australia. It is separated from the rest of the country by the Bass Strait. The state capital is Hobart. Hobart is the destination for the famous Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race which is held every year on Boxing Day. The distance of the race is over 1000 kilometres. Continuing on with this adventure streak, Tasmania is a popular place to go abseiling, hang gliding, kayaking and whitewater rafting down the river Franklin, just to name a few.

Tasmania has a very unspoiled natural environment with many national parks, many of which are listed as World Heritage Sites.
