The Tasmanian Tigers

Tasmania’s state cricket team, the Tasmanian Tigers, is one of our sporting icons and a source of pride for all Tasmanians.  As finalists in the 2001-2002 Pura Cup, it can justifiably claim to be one of the best cricket teams in the country. Captain Ricky Ponting is also captain of the Australian One Day side.

Bellerive Oval, on the eastern shores of the Derwent River overlooking Hobart’s CBD, is the team’s home ground. With modern facilities, two principal and five smaller stands and a spacious hill, it has capacity for 15,000 fans.

The Tasmanian Tigers also play at the North Tasmania Cricket Association Ground in Launceston and Devonport Oval, both in the north of the State.

Tennis Tasmania would like to publicly thank Moorilla for their tremendous support during the International in Hobart over the past week. A special mention also goes out to the volunteers of the event. Without their tremendous help, the event could not have been as successful as it was. We would also like to thank all the people who came to watch the event over the seven days. It was great to see an Aussie win and we look forward to bringing you a bigger event in 2004.

Targa Tasmania

Targa Tasmania has grown to become one of the world’s true classic motor sport events.  This annual event held in April each year has quickly established an international reputation and draws competitors from around the world.  Entrants comprise a wide range of media-attracting personalities including former world champions and other well-known motor sport competitors from both Australia and overseas, as well as national and international celebrities.

Targa Tasmania is a six-day tarmac rally with competitive stages on closed roads. The competition concept is drawn directly from the best features of the Mille Miglia, the Coupe des Alpes and the Tour de Corse. It is an invitation only event with up to 300 cars usually participating. The four divisions within the event are historic, touring classic, classic and modern.

Yacht Races

Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race

Regarded as one of the world’s greatest ocean racing classics, the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race begins in Sydney Harbour on Boxing Day and finishes in the Derwent River off Battery Point in Hobart. It is a 630 nautical mile race southwards in the Tasman Sea to Tasman Island, across Storm Bay to the finish. The leaders in the race arrive in Hobart in time for New Year’s Eve festivities.

Melbourne to Hobart Yacht Race

The Melbourne to Hobart Yacht Race, crowned as one of the toughest yacht races in the world, begins in Portsea, Victoria. The yachts and crews confront the wild waters of Bass Strait before battling the Roaring Forties down Tasmania’s west coast.

King of the Derwent

The Derwent River continues as a world-class aquatic playground each January with the Wrest Point King of the Derwent yacht race just after New Year.

Sailing South

The new Sailing South regatta aims to encourage participants in the Sydney to Hobart and Melbourne to Hobart yacht races to extend their stay in Tasmania by offering a week of first-class competition. As part of this, and extending into the rest of  January, Hobart also hosts the World  Dragon and Mirror Championships.

Navigator Dash

Also in early January, some of the country’s fastest yachts compete in the new Navigator Dash across Bass Strait between Devonport and Melbourne. With a $10,000 prize to the entrant able to establish a new record for the sailing, this innovative event allows skippers to choose their times of departure, within a specified time frame, to take advantage of the best weather conditions for their craft.
