Tasmania has a wide diversity of habitats. The Western half of Tasmania is largely World Heritage Area covered with cool temperate rainforest and wet sclerophyll forest. The eastern half is drier, and was once covered in dry sclerophyll forests.
Tasmania is Australia’s Island state. It has an area of just over 64,400 km2 and takes up less than one percent of Australia’s total land mass. Tasmania’s cool temperate climate is controlled by the prevailing westerly winds (the Roaring 40’s) and the oceans around protect the state from temperature extremes.
