Tasmania is an Australian island and state of the same name. It is located 240 kilometres (150 miles) south of the eastern side of the continent, being separated from it by Bass Strait.

Tasmania has an estimated population of 494,520 (March 2008) and an area of 68,401 square kilometres (26,410 sq mi).
Tasmania is promoted as the Natural State and the "Island of Inspiration" owing to its large and relatively unspoiled natural environment. Formally, almost 37% of Tasmania is in reserves, National Parks and World Heritage Sites. The island is 364 kilometres (226 mi) long from the northernmost point to the southernmost point and 306 kilometres (190 mi) from west to east.
The state capital and largest city is Hobart, which encompasses the local government areas of City of Hobart, City of Glenorchy and City of Clarence. Other major population centres include the City of Launceston in the north and Devonport and Burnie in the northwest. Spirit of Tasmania and hire care rentals in Tasmania.
