C718 is an extremely short rural route, connecting Frankford Main Rd (B71) with Winkleigh Rd (C717) in the West Tamar hinterland. It is signed at both ends of the route, however, up until 2008 the southern end of the route was signed only with the route marker. When signage along Frankford Main Rd was upgraded in the second half of 2008, Winkleigh was added as a focal point for C718 traffic.

C718 is unsealed for most of its short length.
