Rookery Track

You'll discover something truly special on the Rookery Track near North Bruny—a remote coastal drive that rewards adventurous 4WD enthusiasts with access to pristine natural areas few visitors explore. This 2.2 km route takes you through Tasmania's rugged landscape, offering the chance to experience the region's wild character away from conventional tourist routes. The relatively modest distance belies the sense of isolation and adventure you'll encounter, making it an ideal addition to a broader exploration of Bruny Island's back roads.

The terrain varies as you progress, presenting the kind of challenging conditions that test your vehicle handling and navigation skills. You'll navigate through sections that demand careful line selection and steady throttle control, with the surrounding vegetation and coastal proximity creating an immersive wilderness experience. The lack of previous tracked routes means you're essentially pioneering your own path, which adds genuine exploration value to your drive.

Before tackling the Rookery Track, ensure your 4WD is well-maintained and equipped with recovery gear—this is genuine remote country where assistance isn't immediately available. Check local conditions beforehand, as weather and seasonal changes significantly impact track accessibility and driving difficulty. Bring detailed maps and consider using the Newtracs app to record your progress and share your experience with the off-road community. This is trail exploration at its most authentic.
