Bespoke Rallies has announced a new 25-day 3,580-mile adventure in the Australian states of Tasmania and Victoria this November, dubbed the Tiger Tasmania Ralley named after the now-extinct marsupial that roamed Tasmania as recently as the 1930s.

Tiger Tasmania is for pre-1985 cars and combines 11 days of unrivaled driving on many of the roads used on the legendary Targa Tasmania rally with the opportunity to indulge in the history and beauty of this extraordinary island.

Starting and finishing in Melbourne, the event then comprises a further nine days exploration of the state of Victoria, taking in the iconic 12 Apostles, the volcanic crater of the Blue Lake, the famous Halls Gap village and Ballarat, as well as the Great Alpine Road. This unforgettable tour finishes at Chateau Yering in the heart of one of Australia’s most illustrious wine-growing regions. Nearby lies the home of the late operatic soprano Dame Nellie Melba, of which a private tour will form part of the rally’s final day.

Entries are now open for this extraordinary event that takes place from November 4 to November 29 inclusive this year. Full details can be found at www.bespokerallies.com. The ‘early bird’ entry fee for teams of two, including car hire, all accommodation, most meals, ferry crossings, etc., totals $21,170.

Other adventures being organized by Bespoke Rallies over the next 12 months include:

Pyrenees 1000 – May 13 to 17, 2020
