Tasmania, Island state in southern Australia.
Tasmania spans 64,519 square kilometers of land, incorporating mountains, rainforests, beaches, and national parks across its diverse natural environments.
British colonizers established the first settlement in 1803, using the territory as a penal colony until the transportation system ended in 1853.
The Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart exhibits contemporary installations and ancient artifacts, forming the largest privately funded museum in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Spirit of Tasmania ferry service connects the mainland city of Melbourne to Devonport, offering both day and night sailings throughout the year.
Land administration in Tasmania divides the territory into 20 districts, maintaining the boundaries of 18 former counties plus King Island and Flinders Island.
