Description
Insight goes walkabout! The "Insight Regional Guide to Tasmania" provides lively and entertaining writing which conveys Tasmania's vibrant history from its origins as a penal colony at Port Arthur to the abundant wildlife and fauna that can be found at Freycinet National Park. In this island half the size of England (but with a tiny fraction of the population) there are lakes, mountains, an abundance of ancient rainforest, beaches, surf and elegant towns and villages; and this guide will ensure you get the absolute best out of your trip to Tasmania. It also comes with a free Touring Map which highlights the best drives in the region.
