Greeting Card - Tasmanian Apple Orchard

Tasmania is often called the 'Apple Isle' in reference to its outstanding apple industry. Apples are indeed a part of Tasmania's non-Aboriginal history from its inception to present. The first apple tree planted in Tasmania dates from 1788 when William Bligh anchored in Adventure Bay on Bruny Island and planted a selection of fruit, including three apple seedlings, the first apple trees planted in Australia.
