Burgess Bay Track

You'll discover an intriguing coastal route near Currie that offers 4WD drivers a chance to explore one of Tasmania's more remote and rugged corners. The Burgess Bay Track stretches 2.6 kilometres through terrain that rewards adventurous spirits with access to pristine coastal scenery and the satisfaction of navigating a lesser-travelled path. While the track presents a manageable driving experience, you should prepare for variable ground conditions typical of Tasmania's northwestern coast—expect sections of rough track, potential mud, and the kind of uneven surfaces that make 4WD capability genuinely useful rather than merely convenient.

The drive itself takes you through authentic outback landscape where you'll experience the raw character of this remote region. You'll encounter a mix of terrain that keeps you engaged behind the wheel, with views opening toward Burgess Bay itself. Before heading out, check your vehicle thoroughly and bring appropriate recovery equipment; this is genuine backcountry driving where assistance isn't immediately available. Mobile service may be unreliable, so plan your route carefully and inform someone of your intended return time. The track's unrated status reflects its wild, undeveloped nature—bring detailed maps and consider using navigation tools to stay oriented. This is the kind of trail that rewards preparation and caution with an authentic Tasmanian 4WD experience far from the beaten path.
