 | Tasmania, the island state of Australia, is separated from mainland Australia by the 240 km stretch of Bass Strait and is an archipelago of more than 300 islands. |
 | Maria Island is a unique National Park with many points of interest - an island ecology, accessible geological history, historic buildings and ruins from convict and pioneer times, sweeping coastal vistas, secluded beaches, rugged coastal cliffs and mountains, varied bushwalks, marine reserves, fishing areas, abundant birds and readily visible wildlife. |
 | The Tasmanian National Parks Association (TNPA) was formed in June 2001 in order to provide the public a voice in ensuring that Tasmania's magnificent National Parks and reserves retain their unique position in the conservation of biodiversity and public enjoyment. |
