What's it like backpacking in Tasmania?

You’ll find plenty of hostel accommodation throughout the island, and a lively backpacker culture. There are host farms, and fitting in with your working holiday visa, Tasmania is a great place to call home for a short or a long time. Best yet, the pace of life is just what a traveler wants. Scale, a place to soak up and feel at home, no matter where you are from.

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