4wd

If you're seeking a genuine test of your 4WD's capabilities near Holwell, Tasmania, this challenging trail delivers technical driving that'll keep you engaged from start to finish. You'll navigate steep grades averaging 8% across rugged terrain that demands precision handling and vehicle control—this is no leisurely scenic drive, but rather a concentrated dose of serious off-road adventure packed into just 1.3 km.

The landscape here is quintessentially Tasmanian, with dense native vegetation flanking the track and raw, exposed earth underfoot that reveals the region's geological character. You'll encounter rocky outcrops and uneven surfaces that test your suspension and traction, while the steep elevation changes mean constant gear management and careful line selection. The narrow corridor of the trail means there's little room for error, and you'll need to maintain focus throughout the drive.

Before tackling this route, ensure your vehicle is in peak condition—check your differential locks, tire grip, and suspension thoroughly. High-clearance is essential, and experienced off-road drivers will find this rewarding. With only six vehicles recorded on Newtracs so far, you'll be driving a relatively undiscovered gem. Allow 14 minutes for completion, though conditions may vary depending on weather and ground moisture. The Newtracs app will help you navigate the precise route and track your progress.
