As Australia's only island state, Tasmania has retained its own essential charm and character. Compact and diverse, its enviable mix of wilderness, quaint colonial villages, agricultural diversity, laidback lifestyle and fine foods and wines - all within easy driving distance of each other - makes it one of the most enticing places to visit in Australia.
Photographer Joe Shemesh and journalist Mike Bingham have created a fascinating and revealing portrait of Tasmania. Organised regionally, the book takes the reader on a stunning visual adventure from the state's major cities of Hobart and Launceston, down the Heritage Highway with its yesteryear charm and convict beginnings, then on to World Heritage forests, lush farmlands, unspoiled beaches and Tasmania's own islands.
With over 150 stunning full colour photographs, comprehensive commentaries, informative fact boxes and detailed maps, this is a fine tribute to Australia's most enchanting state.
