Head to the very south of Australia where you can visit the unique and picturesque Tasmania. Hobart is the capital of the island state, and it also holds the title as the southernmost city in Australia. Central Hobart has a cool art scene and mementos from Tasmania’s time as a penal colony. But the real highlights of Tasmania lay outside the city limits where you’ll find stunning coastal areas and national parks.

Because of the high demand, prices have gone up for the cars that are available.
