TASMANIA was the perfect setting for Season 7 of the 4X4 Adventure Series, with the Apple Isle trip beginning on a cold and wet summer’s day at the iconic Jacob’s Ladder.

In this series we venture to Bridport; air down for beach fun on the run to Bellingham; stop by Derby; tour the historical Blue Tier Forest Reserve; have a brew at the Pub in the Paddock; and tackle the Peron Dunes in pursuit of the Friendly Beaches.

Down south we explore Hobart and its surrounds; head to Australia’s southern-most point at Cockle Creek; and then head back up to Strahan via Queenstown, cutting through iconic bush tracks.

We dawdle through the town of Zeehan, before getting back in our 4×4 convoy with Montezuma Falls on the itinerary. It was then on to Granville Harbour, the small fishing town of Temma, and a Sandy Cape run to Sandy Cape Light.

MSA 4X4 and MAXTRAX tagged along in their respective 6WDs, with the MAXTRAX 6×6 encountering some drivetrain gremlins en-route to Montezuma Falls.

A 4×4 trip to the small but beautiful state of Tasmania should be on every off-roader’s bucket list.
