With the cleanest air in the world and some of the purest rainwater, Tasmania, known as the "Jewel of the South", is the first stop in the land "Down Under".
Founded in 1804 and as much of Australia was, Hobart city began as a penal colony in the state of Tasmania. The first residents were prisoners, flushed out from overcrowded jails in England and sent halfway around the globe.
This island the size of the Republic of Ireland is of diverse beauty and topography and the only place where the Tasmanian devil is visible in the wild.
Sailing into Hobart
The highlight of this destination was the Bonorong Wildlife Park to view the famous Tasmanian devil along with a large array of Australian native animals that include kangaroos, emus, koala wombats, platypus and birds

The largest lavender farm in the world is located in Tasmania
