Untamed wilderness, the Bay of Fires and avant-garde art
Tasmania, the Australian island state separated from the mainland by the Bass Strait, is one of the last wild paradises on the planet. More than 40% of its territory is designated national park or world biosphere reserve. The Bay of Fires, with its rocks covered in bright orange lichen and its turquoise waters, is one of the most photographed beaches in Australia. Cradle Mountain and Lake St Clair offer breathtaking hikes through a primeval landscape. Hobart, its capital, is home to MONA (the Museum of Old and New Art), one of the boldest private museums in the world.
