Tasmania, Australia
Tasmania is a fascinating island. It’s a little bit smaller than Ireland, but it has an incredible and unique diversity of landscapes. It is sometimes similar to Canada, sometimes it reminded me of Switzerland or Brittany, but it is 100% Australian. I spent two weeks there in January 2018 and came back with hundreds of pictures; here are my favourites!
