A fact from Geography of Tasmania appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 December 2004. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the climate in Tasmania was so similar to that of pre-industrial England that it was referred to by some English colonists as "a Southern England"?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2004/December.
