Broc Feeney has won today's Tasmania Super 440 main race at Symmons Plains as thousands of fans packed the circuit for the milestone Supercars weekend.

Feeney converted pole into a 7.2-second win over Matthew Payne, with Kai Allen third, while organisers confirmed 31,801 fans attended across three days.

Hobart 17yo Xavier Fransen (pictured), who attended with family and first-time visitor Levi Vassallo, 15yo, said he loved “the thrill” and dreamed of racing there.

The event wrapped today, with the state government investing $4 million from 2025 to 2027 to secure the Supercars round.

Bicheno on Tasmania’s east coast has been named Australia’s best town in Australian Traveller’s 100 Best Towns list for 2026.

The fishing port town of just over 1,000 people also won best emerging town, boosted by new venues including Le Gulch, Waubs Harbour Distillery and Sea Stacks Bicheno.

Tourism Minister Jane Howlett said the result reflected the passion of tourism and hospitality operators across the region.

Ten Tasmanian towns made the top 100, with Stanley, St Helens, Richmond and Launceston also recognised after a landmark year for the state’s visitor appeal.

Join me this Saturday the 16th on the Morning Show on WayFM Launceston 105.3 & 98.1 from 8am–12 noon.
Local resident Geoff Hillier will be joining me to chat about the construction of the Batman Bridge, connecting West Tamar to East Tamar. Construction began in 1962 and was completed in 1968 — this month marking another milestone in its history. Geoff was one of the first and last riggers on site.
We’ll also talk about his time as part of a tugboat crew at Beauty Point.
Plus, there’ll be the usual music, news, birthdays, and information on what’s happening around the Central North. 😎🥸
🕗 Mike
