Hi Pisshead, I did a few beach drives when I was there. The Seven Mile Beach turn off is a few k's to the west of the turn off into Stanley. Lovely long, wide beach that is legal to drive on. Another at Strahan. Head out of town towards Hells Gate / Ocean Beach. At Ocean Beach you can drive down onto the beach and drive as far as Hells Gate. There is a road from Hells Gate back to Ocean Beach and then Strahan. The road is a disgrace and will give your suspension a real workout. Easier to come back along the beach. On Bruny Island there is a mountain track from Adventure Bay to the other side of the Island. Not "hard core" 4wd, but a great drive with a little low range 4x4 required. You can come back on a bitumen road or turn around and drive back. I did :) Bruny Island is south of Hobart and accessed by a ferry. >> Any recommendations for 'must see' tracks in Tassie? >> [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > drive back. I did :) Bruny Island is south of Hobart and accessed by a > ferry. Thanks mate. I know what you mean about the Strahan road. I ventured along that on the Harley and had to turn back and go find a pub for the kidneys to recover! Did you have any trouble with these sand sinks they talk about and are they easy to spot (like a wet sand depression)? SignaturePete ....who needs a winch for the wheelchair too. The journey IS the destination. >>> Any recommendations for 'must see' tracks in Tassie? >>> [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > they > easy to spot (like a wet sand depression)? Sand was hard in both places. Tyers had 50 psi for towing and didn't think to drop the pressures :) Both places had lots of traffic- 4wd's, quad bikes, motor cycles. > Any recommendations for 'must see' tracks in Tassie? > > Any recomendations for 'don't bother' ones? Take a winch extender up the Jeffries Track. Biggus' mates with their lift kits and muddies have dug it up pretty good! Don't bother to pay the ferrymen at Brunie Island or Corinna. Ronn at the Tulla Tavern has good info on west coast tracks, cold beer and stays open late! The track from Granville Harbour to Pieman River is a bit of fun. You need a key for the Mt McCall Track (ranger dude in Queenstown hides out near the mine) but Bird River has some nice rainforest. Beaches are firm, only found one small sand sink.
