What's it like backpacking in Tasmania?

Tasmania is well and truly on the Australian backpacking circuit.

You’ll find plenty of hostel accommodation throughout the island, and a lively backpacker culture.

Seasonal employment is sometimes scarce, but the sheer drama of the scenery and opportunities for adventure and socialising leave little time for work anyway.
