Tasmania's Targa for April
Tasmania has some of the best touring roads in the world – which makes Targa Tasmania one of Australia’s top car events.
Targa Tasmania loops around the island state in April each year. Held over six days, the 2007 event from April 17-22, will get under way with an expected field of around 300, including Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Porsches.
The event runs over 2,000 kilometres on roads, that wind through a diverse range of landscapes, including coastal roads and mountain passes.
Targa passes by, or close to, some of the very best of Tasmania's natural wonders, including the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park and an east coast touring route where, if the drivers weren't racing they would surely stop at some of the charming fishing villages to sample the fresh local oysters and crayfish.
An estimated 200,000 people turn out along the various stages of the Targa to see this multi-million dollar motor show -- making it a major tourism event for Tasmania.
Of course if you can't make it to Tasmania in April you could take your own Targa --and tour the very best of Tasmania at a pace where it is okay to linger over fine food and wine, and wonderful World Heritage wilds.
