The last time I drove around tassie I rented a clubman in Launceston.

I drove up and down so many hills the only way I could tell if I was on a slope is by the lean in the trees.

Here is a short list

Royal National Park, Audley to Bald Hill
The Putty Road
Far South Coast north of Bega
Old Gosford Road
Appin to Maldon
Galston Gorge
Snowy Mountains Highway
Eden to Lakes Entrance
Araluen Valley
Anywhere in the north east of Victoria

I could go on, there are so many if you go looking. They don't build roads like this anymore.

Those first pictures were unreal. :shock:
Tassie is one of the best places I've been to.
Where I live, the back road to Stuarts Point, Grassey Head into Macksville, out to Settlers Arms and the pub with no beer. ( It's only a mith ) :wink:
In Qld, I like Maleny and Montville. Cairns to Yorky's Knob.
Victoria's The Great Ocean Road.

Old Gosford road through Mangrove mountain, to Wiseman's Ferry. Or follow the backroad, Mangrove mountain to Cessnock. ( The bikes love them and the police don't ) :wink:

A good one used to be over O'Sullivans gap just north of Bulladelah mid north coast NSW before they put in the by-pass.
Great memories of those days in the Mini panel van with all four wheels singing. :D
