Tasmania's islands sit within a climate of warm, sunny weather for most of the year, and the tropical north is best in the dry season from May to October. Australian island food leans on fresh seafood, reef fish and oysters among the offerings. Flights, ferries and bridges link Australia's islands, so a car and a ferry booking cover most routes. English serves as the everyday tongue throughout the island.
