Edwards 9

Edwards 9 offers a raw, exploratory driving experience in the rugged landscapes of Southwest Tasmania, where adventurers can test their navigation skills on largely uncharted terrain. You'll navigate through remote bushland that sees minimal traffic, giving you the chance to experience this wild corner of Tasmania much as early explorers did. The 1.7 km route winds through variable terrain, and while steep grades aren't a factor on this trail, the unrated status means you should come prepared for unexpected conditions—fallen branches, soft ground, and creek crossings can appear without warning in this untamed environment.

The scenery reflects Southwest Tasmania's dramatic character, with dense vegetation and the kind of isolation that makes this region special. You'll need to bring self-recovery equipment and navigate carefully, as there's no established track record here to guide your approach. Before attempting Edwards 9, ensure your vehicle is in top mechanical condition and carry essential supplies. The area's weather can change rapidly, so check conditions beforehand and inform someone of your intended route. This is a trail for experienced 4WD drivers who relish the challenge of genuine exploration.
