Tasmania from space. Tasmania (/ t æ z ˈ m eɪ n i ə /; palawa kani: lutruwita [14]) is an island state of Australia. [15] It is located 240 kilometres (150 miles) to the south of the Australian mainland, and is separated from it by the Bass Strait.
Tasmania, the largest island of Australia, has a landmass of 68,401 km 2 (26,410 sq mi) and is located directly in the pathway of the notorious "Roaring Forties" wind that encircles the globe. To its north, it is separated from mainland Australia by Bass Strait .
Tasmania is divided by numerous regional boundaries, based on different characteristics. In many cases boundaries defined by different government agencies are coterminous and are often cited by the Australian and local media that tend to distinguish between North West, West Coast, Southern, and East Coast.
Some maps show the administrative divisions which, by 1852, had covered the eastern part of the island, such as this 1831 map and 1852 map. These were the forerunners of Local Government Areas and in 1852 were Launceston , Norfolk Plains , Campbelltown , Clyde , Oatlands , Oyster Bay , New Norfolk , Richmond and Hobart Town .
