Butler Street

Butler Street offers 4WD enthusiasts a unique opportunity to explore a rarely-driven route near the historic mining town of Mathinna in Tasmania's Central Highlands. While this is an unrated trail with minimal traffic, you'll find it presents an intriguing short-distance challenge that could serve as a supplementary route for those exploring the broader region. The 0.1 km stretch provides a chance to test your vehicle's capabilities in Tasmania's distinctive terrain, where you may encounter typical highland conditions including potentially soft ground, rutting, or debris depending on seasonal conditions.

The drive itself is straightforward given the minimal grade, but you should approach this trail with appropriate preparation. As an area with no recorded traffic history on Newtracs, conditions may be unpredictable—bring recovery gear, ensure your vehicle is mechanically sound, and consider bringing communication devices given the remote location. The surroundings showcase the rugged beauty of inland Tasmania, with native vegetation typical of the region's cooler climate.

This short route is ideal for adventurous drivers looking to document lesser-known trails or those using it as a connector while exploring Mathinna and the wider Central Highlands network. Track your experience on Newtracs to help build community knowledge about this undocumented route.
