Powerline Trk

You'll discover a straightforward yet rewarding off-road experience on Powerline Trk, a compact trail that delivers genuine 4WD adventure without overwhelming complexity. Situated near Tullah in Tasmania's rugged backcountry, this medium-difficulty track offers the perfect introduction to off-road driving or a quick exploration for experienced enthusiasts looking to tick off another destination.

The trail winds through native Tasmanian forest, following an old powerline access route that cuts through undulating terrain with surprising character. You'll navigate a mix of firm and loose surfaces that keep you engaged throughout the 1.0 km journey—short enough for a quick outing but long enough to test your vehicle's handling and your driving skills. The lack of steep grades makes this accessible for a broader range of vehicles, though you should still ensure your 4WD is properly maintained with good ground clearance for the occasional rut and rocky sections. The forest scenery provides an immersive experience as you weave between trees and discover what this corner of Tasmania has to offer.

Before heading out, check weather conditions as Tasmanian forest trails can become slippery when wet. Bring the essentials: water, a basic repair kit, and a charged phone. With an estimated six-minute drive time, Powerline Trk is ideal for combining with nearby trails or as a scenic break from highway driving.
