Australia: Tasmanië

In this film we visit Tasmania, the most southerly state of Australia. This island was once connected to the mainland of Australia but at the end of the last ice-age some 12000 years ago, the sea-level rose and Tasmania came loose from the rest of the Australian continent. No other Australian state has so many natureparks as Tasmania. One third of the island is listed as treasured naturereserves of Unesco, and we visit some of them on our trip. We also look around in Hobart, the capital city of Tasmania where in 1642 the Dutchman Abel Tasman as first European explored this area. A special experience is Port Arthur which was well known as one of the most severe convictcamps of the British Empire, from where not many prisoners returned alive. In Tiagarra our attention is focused on a culture centre of the Aboriginals. Here in Tasmania the Aborigines unfortunately met a violent end. This film will tell you a story of English looking landscapes, rugged coastlines, rainforests and fertile riverbeds.
