Dead Horse Link

Dead Horse Link delivers a satisfying off-road experience near Oldina without demanding extreme technical skills—making it perfect for drivers building their 4WD confidence. You'll navigate a compact 0.8 km route that packs genuine variety into a short timeframe, completing the drive in around 18 minutes. The trail's moderate difficulty rating reflects manageable terrain that challenges your vehicle control without the intimidation factor of steeper grades, as there's no significant elevation change to contend with.

The landscape around Dead Horse Link showcases classic Tasmanian backcountry character, with natural vegetation and interesting ground features that keep your attention throughout the drive. You'll encounter mixed surface conditions that test your line choice and vehicle handling, requiring steady concentration but not exceptional recovery equipment. The terrain demands respect for ruts and obstacles, but nothing here will trap an adequately prepared 4WD.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in solid working condition and carry basic recovery gear—high-lift jack, shackles, and a shovel are sensible precautions for any off-road venture. Check weather conditions beforehand, as Tasmanian trails can deteriorate quickly after rain. With only two vehicles previously documenting completion on Newtracs, you'll enjoy a genuinely remote experience while accessing a trail that's accessible enough for intermediate drivers ready to venture beyond established tracks.
