Weld Road

If you're seeking a challenging off-road experience in Tasmania's wild terrain, Weld Road near Lonnavale delivers the technical difficulty you crave without the extreme elevation gains. You'll navigate 4.6 kilometres of demanding track that tests your vehicle's articulation and your driving skills through tight sections and variable ground conditions. The relatively compact distance means you can complete the trail in around 24 minutes, though the Hard rating demands your full attention throughout.

The landscape here showcases classic Tasmanian wilderness—dense vegetation flanks the narrow track, creating an immersive driving experience as you wind through the bush. Rocky outcrops and uneven surfaces keep you engaged, requiring careful line selection and precise throttle control. You should be prepared for potential muddy sections depending on recent rainfall, as drainage can be unpredictable in this region. Carrying recovery gear is essential, and you'll want to ensure your 4WD is well-maintained with good tyres that provide genuine grip.

While only four vehicles have tackled Weld Road through Newtracs, this relative remoteness adds to its appeal for adventurous drivers seeking less-travelled tracks. The trail offers genuine isolation and challenge without being excessively long, making it ideal for experienced operators looking to test their abilities in a concentrated burst of technical driving.
