Smania Island is located in the south of Australia, which is the "end of the world", and nature dominates everything. It is the smallest state in Australia and the only state where people can travel once in a few days. Tasmania is 240 kilometers south of Melbourne, which is separated from the Australian mainland by bass strait.

Like all Australians, foreign tourists will find it strange. The main scenery is mountains, more like New Zealand. Tasmania's rolling hills, valleys, plateaus, volcanoes and steep coasts are reminiscent of Pampa grassland in England, Argentina and South Africa.

The ice age created mountains in Tasmania and deep lakes in the central plateau.

Some lakes have been dammed and hydropower stations have been built. Most of western Tasmania is inaccessible forest. Some mountains here are covered by clouds, and rivers in some areas are still primitive undeveloped rivers and wet and cold canyons. However, you can see the most primitive areas of the island on foot here. There are 450,000 people in Tasmania who think they are different from other Australians. They call the mainland "another island". Few immigrants have settled in Tasmania recently. Most of the residents are British, and sometimes even more British than the British.

Errol flynn and Christopher Kirk, the author of Dangerous Times, are the most famous people on this island.

The climate is mild, but it is a little cold because of the strong cold wind in Antarctica. In the winter of July and August, the peaks above 1000 meters are covered with heavy snow. In summer, the days are long and the sun doesn't set until 9: 30. Tasmania is only 2500 kilometers from Antarctica. February is the hottest, with an average temperature of 265438 0℃.

Tasmania 1642 was discovered by abel tasman, a Dutch navigator, who began to name it the land of Van Diemen after the Prime Minister who sponsored his voyage. 1802 was incorporated into Britain to prevent the French from settling on the island. After the port city of Sydney, the British settled the second group of colonists in Tasmania, mostly prisoners from norfolk island.

This white colonization is a very disgraceful page in Australian history, and the hunting of indigenous people on the island began from this page. Decades later, the indigenous people on the island were basically slaughtered. Indigenous people who survived the genocide also died of diseases brought by whites. The last Tasmanian died in 1876.

For the authorities at that time, Vandimen's land island was an easy-to-control prison, while for prisoners, it was a reception room for death. The writer Marcus Clark described that cruel life in his book Justice of Man. In nearly 50 years, Port Arthur has become an effective model of the British prison system. It was not until 1856 that the island was named Tasmania to attract more respectable colonists. Now the site of Port Arthur Prison has become a hot spot in Tasmania.

Fishing has always been Tasmania's main business. In the last century, whaling ships became fishing boats specializing in crustaceans (shrimp, lobster and crab), accounting for three-quarters of Australia's fisheries. Despite the local government's efforts to industrialize enterprises, Tasmania is still an agricultural state. Due to the warm and humid climate, the dairy industry is very developed, and Tasmania is also known as the "Apple Island".

The construction of a dam on the river on the island was strongly protested by conservationists. 1983 The construction of a dam on the Gaoertang River triggered a political crisis and shocked all of Australia.

Today, Tasmania's main wealth is tourism. At that time, the British people missed their hometown very much and tried their best to rebuild old-fashioned English villages on the other side of the globe. The small villages there were all made up of old-fashioned farmhouses. Even today, everything is very much like England. Hawthorn fence and eucalyptus low wall are out of place.

However, due to economic problems, many Tasmanians moved to big cities in Chinese mainland.
