Victoria Mather, Tatler magazine - LAND OF CREAM AND HONEY

"There is a God. He created Tasmania. It is a land of cream and honey - thick King Island dairy cream and honey from the leatherwood trees. The crayfish are as big as cats, the mountain streams so pure that the women come to collect the water like modern-day Rebeccas at the well. To those of us living on the frowzy, lousy side of the world, a wonky sign on Mount Wellington saying ’Water may be tainted by wildlife’ is endearing rather than threatening. Who gives a stuff about wombat wee? Wildlife in Tasmania is unlikely to stab you for your mobile telephone; there’s bracken so benign you can eat it; and a walk through the Walls of Jerusalem National Park leads to a place called Paradise.

"If there is a more wonderful and magical place on earth, I have yet to see it.....I breathed the cleanest air and swam in the purest waters with Dolphins playing alongside. If paradise exists on earth it is in the wilderness that is the southwest corner of Tasmania."

Ok how can you resist that.
