Wielangta State Forest
Wielangta Road Forest Drive
This drive provides an alternative route between the Freycinet Coast and Maria Island Region and Tasman Peninsula. It allows visitors to drive through the Wielangta State Forest. A second walk passes the remnants of Wielangta - a once thriving sawmilling town. The Thumbs Lookout, located at the northern end of the drive, provides spectacular views of the East Coast and Maria Island.
This is a scenic 2WD road through the Wielangta Forest from Rheban (Grid Ref 737782) to Kellevie (Grid Ref 672635). The Sandspit Forest Reserve has picnic facilities, forest interpretation and scenic forest walks. The road also provides access to the Thumbs picnic area and lookout near Orford. Returning via the Tasman Highway from Orford completes an enjoyable round trip from Sorell. Though the recently built Wielangta Road doesn’t yet appear on all maps, it is signposted at both ends.
