Quick LookThere's so much to explore Down Under, it's hard to choose. But we just had to go with the island state of Tasmania. In the pristine outback of Australia's most forested state, keep an eye out for wombats and kangaroos; parrots, penguins and platypi; and of course the elusive Tasmanian devil. In the meantime, take a deep breath beneath the eucalyptus trees. Savor the moist fragrance of ferns in temperate rain forests. It's one thing to go down under. It's another to get way out there.
