Tasmania (TAS)

Tasmania is the only island state of Australia and Hobart is its capital city and the second oldest after Sydney. The Bass Strait separates Tasmania from the rest of Australia and is also the location for the country’s famous Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. The race is held every year on Boxing Day.

The summer and winter seasons are comparatively cooler compared to other Australian cities and in the beginning of the New Year Hobart celebrates with the Taste Festival, promoting Tasmanian arts and crafts, entertainment and produce.
