Tasmania is Australia's smallest state - about the size of the Republic of Ireland and with a population of approximately half a million. The island enjoys a mild climate with four distinct seasons and boasts the world's cleanest air. The scenery is spectacular with mountains, forests, lakes, beaches and unique wildlife! On a tour around the island you will discover historic towns with craft shops and markets, restaurants offering fine food and excellent local wines, great bars, ancient ruins, vineyards, national parks and as much breathtakingly beautiful wilderness as you could hope for.
Each April Tasmania hosts an international classic rally on closed roads and based around the cities of Launceston and Hobart, the capital. Three hundred touring, sports and GT cars will compete over six days and 2000 kms on some of the most exciting and challenging tarmac roads in the world. In the true tradition of the 'Targa' there's no prize money - only the thrill of competing and the chance to win a magnificient targa trophy.
Spectators flock to the island in their thousands to watch the action in the towns and villages as the Targa rally passes through, or from special spectator points around the course, recommended for the excellent views. At the end of each day's competition the cars are on display and you can watch as crews prepare for the next leg of the Targa rally.
Most visitors to Tasmania wish they had stayed longer - make sure you're not amongst them!
