When I visualised my first day of Targa Tasmania [2010], the overriding image was one of blue skies and dry roads. Reality was a storm to rival anything we get back in Auckland.

My favourite Tasmanian holiday destination I was born and raised in Tasmania and one of my favourite holiday destinations is Hawley Beach/Shearwater, which is approximately an hour and twenty minutes north west from Launceston. It’s great to head out there and have a break and just relax. There’s awesome scenery, particularly when the weather is [...]
