Tasmania “Tassie”

A Discover-Oceania Series Achievement

Here we go to “a land down under, where beer does flow and men chunder…”

Welcome to the Tasmania “Tassie” Achievement Flights set in beautiful Tasmania Island. Nicknamed Tassie, Tasmania is an island state of Australia. It is located 240 km (150 mi) to the south of the Australian mainland, separated by Bass Strait. The state encompasses the main island of Tasmania, the 26th-largest island in the world, and the surrounding 334 islands. The state has a population of about 541,000 people. The state capital and largest city is Hobart, with around 40 percent of the population living in the Greater Hobart area.

We will touch all 41 airports on Tasmania and the nearby islands on a counter-clockwise tour that charts a lightning-shaped, zigzag path all around the island, visiting some of the outback, scenic features of this sparsely populated island, including farm lands, remote mountain ranges, large natural lakes, and many golden beaches.
