Tasmania , 150 miles off the south coast of Australia and roughly the size of West Virginia , has historically gotten as bad a rap from mainlanders as West Virginia does in the United States : for years it was considered a hillbilly backwater , not worth the 12-hour ferry crossing of the Bass Strait required to reach the island .
