4x4 Only

Get ready to test your 4WD's capability on a technical challenge that punches well above its modest length. The 4x4 Only trail near Coles Bay demands respect from experienced drivers, with tight rocky sections and demanding terrain that'll keep you focused for every one of those 24 minutes. You'll navigate through obstacle-heavy passages where precision driving matters more than speed, with natural rock formations creating a genuine puzzle that separates casual weekend warriors from serious off-road enthusiasts.

The Tasmanian bush surrounds you as you work through the trail's technical sections, offering glimpses of the natural beauty that makes this region special. Despite its short 0.6 km distance, you shouldn't underestimate the concentration required—the hard difficulty rating reflects genuinely challenging driving conditions rather than length. Before you attempt this one, ensure your 4WD is in excellent mechanical condition, your tyres have solid grip, and you've got recovery equipment on hand. The trail's design means mistakes are costly, so take your time and use the Newtracs app to track your progress through each obstacle.

Only seven vehicles have successfully completed 4x4 Only, which tells you something about the selectivity of this challenge. It's not a trail for beginners, but for experienced 4WD drivers seeking genuine technical driving in a beautiful Tasmanian setting, this is exactly the kind of memorable adventure you're after.
