Tasmania is one of the six states of Australia. The closest state to Tasmania is Victoria with its capital – Melbourne. There is a ferry “Spirit of Tasmania” that allows to travel from Melbourne to Tasmania with your own car. It is very convenient to spend on the ferry 2 nights and 2-3 days in Tasmania with your own car.

We recommend you to visit Tasmania if you have extra 2-3 days to spend in Melbourne. Beautiful nature of the island. Scenic combinations of forests, lakes and mountains. Picturesque views. Plenty of things to do and see in National Parks.
