Tasmania is Australia's island state — Hobart's sandstone Salamanca market, the wilderness of Cradle Mountain, and the historic Port Arthur convict site. It's cooler, greener, and wilder than the mainland; hike the Overland Track, eat oysters, and go in summer (December–February). The Australia of forests and devils.
