There are plenty of off shore islands such as Bruny Is., Maria Is.[National Park Reserve] and King Is [famous for its dairy produce], mountainous parks to go hiking especially in the west where Cradle Mt and other National Park Reserves are located. The island State itself is most beautiful to drive around with the northern most coast only 3-4hrs drive from the south to the north.www.tourtasmania;
