I have been following this thread, and have traveled some of the roads
mentioned. BUT, never have I driven anything like Tasmania. This is an
island
south of Australia (and one of the Australian states) with fantastic DRIVING
roads. There is an anual Rally (race) named the TARGA TASMANIA that has
rally,
timed stages (A nice way to say RACE), hillclimbs... and BEAUTIFUL turns...
lots of turns.
I started from Hobart on the south part of the island and drove about 400Km
in one day. Not much on a freeway, but at the end of the day in Tasmania my
arms and shoulders ached from the turning. There was not a straight more
that 500 feet unless you were in a town and those were few and f-a-r between.
We had a route book from the TARGA showing wrere the ""timed Stages" were
located so we could have some special fun.
The route covered 1,387 Km or 861 miles of FUN DRIVING!!
