Tasmania is an island off the south east coast of Australia. Only a little smaller than Hokkaido, 1/3rd of it is covered by a national park and designated World Heritage sites of the unspoiled Tasmanian wilderness. The island is located in what is known as the "Rolling Forty," the heavy storm zone around the 40S parallel. What sets Tasmania apart from continental Australia are the island's regular four seasons (with snowfall in the winter), or the 270 days/year rainfall in the heart of the state. Due to that, Tasmania has developed a magnificent ecosystem not seen anywhere else in the world. Filming amidst Tasmania's magnificent forests, one really feels a connection with the great will of Mother Earth.
