What are the benefits of joining a 4WD club?

The sense of freedom and adventure that you get from off-roading can be like no other. But what if you’re not confident about the idea of a solo trip? The good news is that 4WD clubs are popping up all over Australia! Joining a 4WD club is great for meeting people who share your interest in off-roading, finding new tracks and gaining some valuable 4WDing experience!

We’re taking a look at some of the advantages of joining up to take on Australia’s world-renowned tracks:

Join a community

Joining a 4WD club opens up a network of people who share your interest and passion for adventure. Here you can keep up with everything that’s going on. From driver training and social activities to changes in legislation that affect off-roaders. Not to mention all the buddies you’ll meet to hit the road with!

Learn from the best

4WD clubs also provide an opportunity to hear first-hand from some of Australia’s most experienced four-wheel drivers. Learn from their experiences and soak up their knowledge of how to tackle certain tracks and types of terrain for an unforgettable, but most importantly, safe adventure!

Pave the way for the future of 4WDing

As part of a 4WD club, you become part of a driving force for the development of the sport. Members of 4WD clubs often work with each other and other clubs to negotiate access to restricted parts of land and new tracks to create more opportunities to explore.

Explore the great outdoors

The Outback provides endless possibilities for exploration. When you have a fleet of 4WDs behind you the sense of adventure is like no other. Travelling with your 4WD club means sharing the experience of discovering the most remote parts of the outback with the added bonus of having a support network around you.

The perks

And if you’re still not sold on the idea of joining a 4WD club, think about the perks. Clubs often work in partnership with local landowners, managers and governments to open up access to exclusive tracks that you might otherwise never know about!
