Charley Boorman rates the 230km road from Hobart to Strahan in Tasmania one of the best stretches of tarmac in the world in a new tourism video.

“It’s a country lane that travels up and down mountains … and never stops twisting,” he says.

The video is one of three released this year by the Tasmanian Road Safety Advisory Council (RSAC).

In 2015, they produced a video featuring multi-Australian Superbike Champion Malcolm Campbell and interstate motorcycle club member Lester Knowles  ridging around te state and poi ting out te features and the dangers.

This year the video has been updated.

It is now joined by the Charley Boorman video and another video about riding the West Coast with local rider and Regional Chief with the Tasmanian Fire Service, Jeff Harper, on his Victory Cross Roads Cruiser. 

RSAC provides all riders with information and videos when they board the Spirit of Tasmania. They also produce billboards and posters displayed along popular Tassie riding routes.

You can get more travel information on their Touring Motorcyclists web page.
