Tasmania (abbreviated as
Tas and known colloquially as "Tassie") is an
island state of
Australia. It is located 240 km (150 mi) to the south of the Australian mainland, separated by the
Bass Strait. The state encompasses the main island of Tasmania, the
26th-largest island in the world, and the
surrounding 334 islands.
[12]The state has a population of around 519,100
[1] as of June 2016, just over forty percent of which resides in the Greater Hobart precinct, which forms the metropolitan area of the
state capital and largest city,
Hobart.
Tasmania's area is 68,401 km2 (26,410 sq mi), of which the main island covers 64,519 km2 (24,911 sq mi).
[13]Promoted as a natural state;
protected areas of Tasmania cover about 42% of the land area of the state, which includes
national parks and
World Heritage Sites.
[14] Tasmania was the founding place of the first environmental party in the world.
[15] Though an island state, due to a mapping error the state shares a land border with
Victoria at its northernmost terrestrial point,
Boundary Islet, a nature reserve in Bass Strait. The
Bishop and Clerk Islets, about 37 km south of Macquarie Island, are the southernmost terrestrial point of the state of Tasmania, and the southernmost internationally recognised land in Australia.
