Welcome to Tasmania in winter

Welcome to This Week in Tasmania, for all the information you need on whatÕs happening around the state.

Winter is no obstacle to a party in Tasmania, where the Antarctic Midwinter Festival kicks off in Hobart from June 19 to June 28. The annual event celebrates the unique connections the Island State has with Antarctica. The ten-day program includes exhibitions, social events, tours and even a film festival. Almost all of it is free, sponsored by the Antarctic community. Find details at www.antarctic-tasmania.info

No trip to Tasmania is complete without a visit to Salamanca Place in Hobart. Famous for its regular outdoor Saturday markets and 19th century sandstone buildings, itÕs a great place to take in the cityÕs history and vibrant arts and crafts scene.

Getting out of Hobart, thereÕs the fabulous Devonport Jazz, an annual festival for lovers of smooth sounds. And no serious foodie should miss Tastings At the Top, a three-day celebration of TasmaniaÕs very best produce, held at Cradle Mountain.

So this winter take a bite out of Tasmania where thereÕs something special for everyone!
