Cooks Track

Cooks Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a rare opportunity to explore a lesser-known route through Tasmania's scenic Florentine region. This 1.7 km trail delivers an intimate off-road experience where you'll navigate genuine backcountry terrain without the wear of heavily trafficked tracks. The drive takes you through diverse Tasmanian landscapes, from forest sections to open areas that showcase the region's natural character.

You'll encounter variable ground conditions typical of Tasmania's remote areas, so come prepared with recovery gear and ensure your vehicle is in good working order. The track's unrated status means conditions can be unpredictable—recent weather may have created washouts or rutted sections that demand careful line selection and solid vehicle control. Check local conditions before heading out, as seasonal rainfall significantly affects driveability. The lack of previous Newtracs data makes this a genuine adventure rather than a well-established route.

What makes Cooks Track special is its isolation and authenticity. You won't find manicured trail conditions here, but rather a genuine backcountry drive through beautiful Florentine country. Bring navigation tools, adequate fuel, and a full tank of patience. This is off-roading in its purest form—challenging, rewarding, and perfect for drivers who relish exploring Tasmania's hidden tracks.
