King Island, Tasmania

King Island, Tasmania

A fantastic island holiday which can be done easily on a budget is King Island in Tassie. It has some of the happiest cows in Australia and, as we all know, happy cows produce magnificent cheese. You will consume some of the most wonderful local produce on this island, but then you'll burn it all off as cycling is the best way to get around. The local animal life is great, too-the fairy penguins have a personality all their own. It also has a jicy shipwreck history which children adore. And there's a surrela calcified forest on the island, which dates back about 70,000 years.
