Bush Track

Bush Track offers a perfect introduction to off-road driving near West Takone, with minimal technical demands but genuine backcountry exploration. You'll navigate a short but genuine 4WD route that takes you away from main roads and into Tasmania's natural bush environment, making it ideal for those building confidence in vehicle handling or simply seeking a quick adventure.

The terrain here is relatively forgiving, with no steep grades to challenge you as you progress through the 0.7 km route. You'll experience typical Tasmanian bush scenery—dense vegetation, natural tracks, and the quiet isolation that makes off-roading rewarding. The driving experience is straightforward enough to complete in around a minute of actual driving time, but don't rush; take time to appreciate the surroundings and practice smooth vehicle control on the natural surface.

As with any bush track, you should be prepared for changing ground conditions depending on recent weather. While this trail presents minimal hazards, standard 4WD preparation remains important—ensure your vehicle is in good working order and carry basic supplies. The short length makes it accessible for day trips, and the low difficulty rating means you can focus on enjoying the experience rather than worrying about navigation or technical obstacles. Using the Newtracs app's offline maps ensures you won't lose your way in the remote setting.
