is tasmania a territory

No—Tasmania is a state of Australia, not a territory.

It joined Federation in 1901 as a full-fledged state, with Hobart as the capital, and it’s governed like the other five states.

The territories are the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory; Tassie is firmly in the states’ club.

It’s the island down south with cracking scenery, bracing breezes, and cheese that’ll make you reconsider your life choices—in a good way.
