Track information

Brushy Lagoon lies 20km north of Westbury via the B72 and C714. This 4WD track Tasmania takes you from Biralee Road Westbury (next to Westbury Hotel) through Egmont Reserve, the Western Shore of Brushy Lagoon, to Brushy Lagoon Dam, Brushy Road, Dolerite Road and Frankford Road ending at a T-junction with the Bass Highway. Fishing is popular at Brushy Lagoon; Brushy Lagoon is a family fishery with easy access making it a popular year-round fishery. Brushy Lagoon is stocked regularly to maintain populations, meaning your chance of catching fish is increased – the dam wall is a popular location with shore-based anglers and this fishery is well-suited to small boats.
