Feb 2014 TAS north-east ride DAY 2

[mozzie26]

then maybe left over from past splatter covering... very popular in Tassie

or the hillbilly version of sand LOL

Wasn't there last week. Looked like they were trying to cover up were the bitumen was melting but it was just on the one lane i was traveling in.

yeah that sounds like Tassie repairs...

they like pouring tar over a road then tip blue metal on it and let vehicles' tyres press the stones into the tar... call it Splatter cover cause the tar splatters your car/bike if you get to it before they cover in stones or right after, the stones splatter you form oncoming traffic and in the loose gravel 50-75mm thick you can go splatter if not ready for it LOL
