Visiting Tasmania really made me realise just how much Australia has to offer. This diverse country I live in continues to astound me with its many pristine beaches, ancient rainforests, distinct wildlife, friendly people and quality food. Each Australian state is unique and beautiful in its own right, but Tassie is one that sometimes gets overlooked by us Australians, I feel.
I road-tripped around Tasmania recently for just a week breathing in the world’s cleanest air, sampling great produce and adventuring through national parks all while staying at some pretty remarkable hotels and BnBs along the way. After being asked so many times why I enjoyed this little slice of Australian heaven, it was hard to express to friends in words. Photographs tend to sway me more than words when it comes to picking a destination to visit. So, maybe these photos will inspire you to come to Australia, or explore more of your own backyard!
