Jefferys Track

Jefferys Track offers 4WD enthusiasts an accessible yet rewarding introduction to Tasmania's rugged backcountry near Lachlan. This medium-difficulty route proves that you don't need extreme terrain to enjoy an authentic off-road experience—instead, you'll discover a perfectly balanced drive through varied landscape that showcases what makes this region special.

The 3-kilometer track takes you through diverse terrain combining graded sections with rougher ground that demands steady vehicle control and attentive navigation. You'll encounter rocky patches and undulating surfaces that keep you engaged without overwhelming less experienced drivers. The scenery rewards your efforts with views of native bushland and the surrounding Tasmanian countryside, making this as much a nature drive as a technical challenge.

Since there's no steep climbing involved, you can focus entirely on reading the terrain and enjoying the experience. However, you should prepare for variable ground conditions—bring proper recovery gear and ensure your vehicle has adequate clearance. Check conditions before heading out, as Tasmania's weather can change quickly and affect track quality. The relatively quick 14-minute average completion time makes this ideal for combining with other local drives, and with 23 vehicles having successfully navigated it, you'll have confidence this is a well-established route worth exploring.
