Tasmania's representation at the Exposition was located in the colourful and popular 'Plaza' Pavilion - a host of several states and territories such as South Australia and the Northern Territory, as well as international and other corporations.

Under the theme 'Tasmania - Naturally Different', this tourist presentation of Australia's "Apple Isle" welcomed guests through acut-out entrance of the apple-shaped island - and featured several displays of the island's key industries from aerospace components to furniture making and fine wines to soft cheeses.

An interactive computer program where visitors
