The world’s cleanest air can be found in Tasmania, thanks to the Roaring 40s winds.
Beautiful coastlines, beaches and lakes can be found everywhere.
This clean air and pure water is why people can enjoy some of the freshest and most delicious food and alcohol on the planet in Tasmania.
Stand on the edge of the world, bottle some of it and breathe in the world’s cleanest air.
When the “roaring forties” blow in from the Southern Ocean, Jamie Oliver knows he’s in for a rough time.
“Sometimes in the winter, when it gets wet and cold for days and days, you get a bit sick of it,” the 55-year-old beef farmer admits.
But Mr Oliver, who’s lived on Tasmania’s north-west coast since he was a teenager, wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
“It’s a magnificent place,” he said
“The air, I don’t know if it’s just me, but it’s so crisp and clean. And you feel like you can breathe it properly.”
His assessment about the region’s air quality is backed up by decades of science.
