Wielangta Forest Drive

An interesting and scenic alternative route between the east coast and the Tasman Peninsula, this 35km drive links Orford with Bream Creek and Copping.

The good gravel forestry road through tall eucalypt production forests and passing the Sandspit Forest Reserve on the Sandspit River, with its pockets of relict rainforest.

Enjoy a picnic at the Thumbs Lookout just south of Orford or the Sandspit Forest Reserve. There are several lookout points with spectacular views of the coast, islands and ocean. Roadside signage explains how the areas working forests are being managed.
