Hi - over here in Qld they call it asphalt and you rarely hear tarmac mentioned...

[Uncle John]

Tarmac (short for tarmacadam) and asphalt are two different things. Tarmac is a mixture of tar and stones. Asphalt is a natural tarry substance originally "mined" from an asphalt "lake" in Trinidad. Hence the Trinidad Lake Asphalt Company. These days there is more science to road surfaces.
