Tasmania’s Wild Treasures
Tasmania's unusual location between hot Australia and cold Antarctica makes for a uniquely harsh mix of weather phenomena, as well as the many, extremely diverse, landscapes in one spot: white sandy beaches, snow-capped mountains, glistening highland lakes, ancient rainforest jungles, peatlands, steep sea cliffs - home to rare and strange endemic animals and plants, including the last survivors of the ancient southern supercontinent Gondwana.
