Mount Lorymer Track

Mount Lorymer Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a genuine test of vehicle capability and driver skill in Tasmania's rugged high country. This challenging 3 km route near Riana demands respect and precision, with a punishing 20% grade that will have you carefully managing throttle and brake through some seriously technical sections. You'll navigate steep, rocky terrain where every meter requires concentration and vehicle control—this isn't a scenic cruise, it's a legitimate off-road challenge.

The landscape unfolds dramatically as you climb, revealing the raw beauty of Tasmania's moorland environment. You'll encounter exposed rock faces, deeply rutted sections, and tight switchbacks that test your line choices. The sparse vegetation gives way to expansive views across the highlands, rewarding your effort with genuine wilderness scenery. Weather can change rapidly at this elevation, so you should check conditions before heading out and ensure your vehicle is in peak mechanical condition.

This is a trail for experienced drivers only. You'll need excellent ground clearance, low-range capability, and genuinely competent vehicle handling skills. The Newtracs app provides detailed route tracking so you can navigate the complex terrain with confidence. Only two vehicles have successfully completed Mount Lorymer Track, which speaks to its difficulty—but that makes the achievement genuinely meaningful.
