Located south of the Australian mainland, Tasmania is a beautiful island state that needs to be on every traveler’s radar. Here you can experience an otherworldly vacation communing with nature and wildlife and partaking in mouthwatering cuisine. For adventurers, a hike around the Freycinet Peninsula Circuit on the island’s east coast is a must. Foodies can’t pass up sampling the freshest seafood in Barilla Bay and Hobart. Animal lovers should head to Trowunna Wildlife Sanctuary in Mole Creek to see the Tasmanian devils and other rare wildlife. Want to take a scenic road trip around the island? Then, hop on the Spirit of Tasmania, a car ferry that crosses the Bass Strait from Melbourne. Planning a trip of a lifetime to Down Under with your family and furry friend?
