River crossings are the star attraction of Climies Track Alt, making this short West Coast route a perfect playground for 4WD drivers wanting to test their water fording skills without committing to a lengthy expedition.

The terrain remains manageable throughout—no steep grades to worry about—allowing you to focus entirely on executing smooth water crossings and reading the riverbed conditions.

The driving experience here is intimate and rewarding. You'll traverse through Tasmania's characteristic West Coast landscape, where native bush meets flowing waterways, and the relatively quick 4-minute completion time belies the technical satisfaction you'll gain.
