Can you find Tasmania on the map? Many people take it for Tanzania in Africa. In fact, Tasmania is an island state in Australia. To the south of Tasmania is only Antarctica.

In the early nineteenth century the British came there, 70,000 people took a lot of Aboriginal land and built their own towns and villages. Thousands of Aborigines died from diseases that appeared on the island and from fighting with the British.
Tasmania today is a wonderful place to visit. It is different from any other place on the Earth. There are a lot of high mountains, green forests and beautiful beaches there. It has Australia’s deepest lake, some unusual fish and the oldest theatre. Tasmania has 12 kinds of birds which live only here. You can often see dolphins in Tasmania waters.
Many Tasmanians think that Tasmania is the best place on the Earth because it has the cleanest air and water in the world. Tasmania is proud to have the world’s tallest flowering plant and the oldest trees on the planet.
Tasmania is the home of the Tasmanian devil. It got its name because it is black and makes a very loud noise when it fights for a meal. It lives alone and fights at nights. Like kangaroos, Tasmanian devils have a pouch on their front for their babies. The baby Tasmanian devils leave their mother’s pouch when they get older. The capital of Tasmania is Hobart which was founded in 1804 as a colony. Hobart is Australia’s second oldest capital city after Sydney. Now Hobart is the home port for a lot of Antarctic programmes. Tourists come to Hobart to see its places of interest.
