The C221 route (Back Line Road) terminates at the Bass Highway in Wiltshire. It runs south and then west through Forest before rejoining the Bass Highway at the western extremity of that locality. The B21 (Stanley Highway) and C219 (Mengha Road) routes each terminate at the Bass Highway at the Wiltshire / Forest / Stanley tripoint. B21 runs north to Stanley, while C219 runs south through Forest to Mengha, from where it provides access to many localities on the west coast of Tasmania.[4]
