Johns Road

Johns Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a chance to explore a lesser-known route near Raminea in Tasmania's rugged backcountry. While this short 1.0 km trail remains unrated and relatively undocumented, it presents an intriguing opportunity for those seeking to discover and map new driving experiences in the region. You'll navigate through authentic Tasmanian terrain that showcases the raw character of this remote area, with the gentle gradient making it accessible for various skill levels.

The driving experience along Johns Road takes you through natural bushland with mixed vegetation typical of Tasmania's inland regions. You'll encounter a landscape that rewards careful observation, revealing the geological and ecological features that define this part of the state. The relatively short distance makes this an ideal addition to a longer 4WD expedition, allowing you to explore local routes without committing extensive time to a single trail.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained and equipped for remote driving, as services and assistance are limited near Raminea. Carry plenty of water, a full fuel tank, and navigation tools—the Newtracs app can help you track your journey and contribute data about trail conditions. Check local weather conditions beforehand, as Tasmanian terrain can change rapidly. This trail represents an opportunity to help build the community's knowledge of the region's 4WD potential.
