Wether Hill Road

Wether Hill Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a unique opportunity to explore the rugged backcountry near the Wallace Takitimu Community in Southland. While this is a short route, it provides access to remote terrain that showcases the distinctive landscape of New Zealand's southernmost region. You'll navigate through varied terrain typical of the area, with the gentle grade making this suitable for drivers looking to familiarize themselves with local tracks or access nearby exploration routes.

The drive takes you through countryside that reveals the character of rural Southland, where pastoral landscapes meet native New Zealand bush. You should be prepared with a capable 4WD vehicle and carry essential supplies, as this remote area lacks readily available services.

This trail is perfect for those wanting to discover lesser-traveled routes in the region or as a waypoint on a larger backcountry adventure. Using the Newtracs app, you can easily locate this trail and plan your route through Southland's extensive network of 4WD access tracks. Whether you're a local or visiting from further afield, Wether Hill Road provides a genuine taste of exploration in one of New Zealand's most remote and rewarding regions.
