Bermuda Fire Trail

If you're seeking a gentle introduction to off-road driving in Tasmania's scenic southwest, the Bermuda Fire Trail delivers accessible adventure without the white-knuckle intensity. This short 2.6 km route near Geeveston offers the perfect opportunity to practice vehicle handling skills and explore beautiful forest terrain at a relaxed pace—ideal for newer 4WD drivers or those wanting a leisurely weekend outing.

You'll navigate a well-defined track that winds through native forest with minimal technical challenges. The completely flat grade means you can focus on enjoying the surrounding landscape rather than wrestling with steep descents or climbs. The terrain is straightforward and forgiving, making it an excellent confidence-builder for drivers still getting comfortable with their vehicles. Expect to complete the trail in about five minutes of driving time, leaving plenty of opportunity to stop, take photos, and soak in the Tasmanian bushland atmosphere.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good working order and carry basic recovery equipment—standard precautions for any off-road adventure. The track is suitable for standard 4WD vehicles, and with only four recorded completions, you'll likely experience the peaceful solitude that makes backcountry driving rewarding. Check current conditions before visiting, as Tasmanian weather can change quickly, and bring water and snacks for a comfortable outing.
