| Australia is a continent country of undeniably cruisy climes. A place where the American model of efficiency meets the British fix on tea-time, a first rate lifestyle that both achieve goals and maintains perspective on the bigger picture, life is good, and different in the island state of Tasmania. If Australia proper is cruisy, blending the naturalism and love of a southern California surfer with a foodie’s appreciation of fine fixings and wines, then Tasmania is an even greater exaggeration. Australia's is a simile, it is like a whale, broad, beautiful and one with the ocean. Tasmania, meanwhile is more primal, a more direct metaphor, Tasmania is wild, little powerful Devil. The inspirational home to the Looney Tunes famous critter, Taz is world-famous for having more than aggressive mammals, it also boasts of the globe's best beaches, (Wineglass Bay) and one of the planet's best towns, (Strahan.) Food tourists rejoice, 3,5 and 10 day tours of the island's food scene are available, offering a chance to sample the handcrafted artistry of Tasmania's oysters, pinots, beers, cheeses and free range raised livestock. Any city dweller in need of respite from the hectic hurricane of modern living need only schedule a week on the island. Leave behind the smog, honking klaxon rush and bustle of the urban day to a smooth repose of truly sustainable living. If tranquil strolls, long walks on the beach and a round of golf, sound a little too ‘retirement-community,’ don't worry, the state's adventure travel industry is up and cranking. Do some hiking and rock climbing on Mt. Wellington, raft and kayak down the Picton rapids and get elevated on a cable drawn hang glider. Places to stay are as diverse as the outdoor activities. Check yourself into a colonial cottage, a rustic woodsy lodge, a picturesque B & B, or a more ruckus backpacker hostel. |
