Tasmania: a serene and pristine environment & untamed wilderness indeed.

I write this article to share a glimpse of my recent visit to Tasmania—an exquisite and tranquil destination.


Preamble: Exploring Tasmania: Embarking on a Journey Through Nature's Masterpiece and Sustainable Marvels. Tasmania boasts an impressive statistic with 49% of its land covered by forests.

Introduction:

Exploring Tasmania proved to be a breathtaking journey, unveiling untamed beauty and immaculate natural settings. From the charming coastal town of Devonport to the historic streets of Ross, every corner of this island is a testament to nature's artistry. "Tasmania has a total landmass of approximately 6.81 million hectares, of which nearly half (3.35 million hectares or 49 per cent) is forested. Native forest makes up 91 per cent of this and plantations 9 per cent. Tasmania’s plantation forests (302 000 hectares) are made up of 25 per cent softwoods and 75 per cent hardwoods."

The Rugged Beauty of Cradle Mountains:

It was an awe-inspiring landscape with rugged beauty that has left me awestruck. There were many hidden gems across the walking corridors and boardwalks. The signage and color selection were amazing and blended with the color of the environment.

Neighborhood character

From my perspective, I have seen that most of the buildings in particular with in many tourist places have maintained neighborhood characters. The buildings, signage and many paraphernalia blended with the neighboring environment. It was a pleasant experience that allowed me to appreciate the sincere efforts from architects to planners to builders to operators. Well designed and selection of materials and colors.

Launceston's quaint charm and Hobart's rich history added depth to this unforgettable adventure.

well-preserved Victorian and Georgian architecture


Safety (reasonably practicable solutions) across various areas

I was impressed by the level of details and simpler signs to convey the message to all stakeholders. Just right like Goldilocks' principle. The signboards were simpler and also embeds neighborhood characters in them (like font colours, materials of selection) blended with the leaves, trees, streams, sky and other natural properties (rocks, pebble, timber, pine trees)...,
