AN IN-DEPTH PERSPECTIVE ON TASMANIA February 7 - 23, 2005 (17 days) Discover Tasmania's wild and beautiful island landscapes and its friendly, welcoming people, 130 miles off the southeast corner of Australia, during a cruise aboard the 64-cabin Clipper Odyssey. More than a third of Tasmania is national park and Tasmania Wilderness World Heritage Area - habitat supporting myriad flora and fauna.

Learn about Tasmania's colorful history at Port Arthur, site of one of the island's many former penal colonies, and at Flinders Island, where a visit to Wybalena Chapel offers insights into Tasmania's Aboriginal history. Conclude your adventure in cosmopolitan Sydney, Australia, exploring this fascinating city's many landmarks during a group tour and time at leisure.
