The Family Oriented Four Wheel Drive Club
Formed in 1969 by a group of four wheel drive enthusiasts we are primarily a family oriented club catering for 4WD trips to areas not easily reached other than by 4WD vehicles. We try to cater for different levels of driving skill from the beginner, to more challenging tracks for the more experienced, and even up to competition level.
The club runs day and weekend trips, night trials, charity runs, clean up days in conjunction with the regional council, and more, and we follow the DOC ‘Care’ philosophy.
We run at least one or two club trips per month, sometimes more. These vary from scenic touring day trips, more extreme day trips, camp-out weekends and extended holiday trips further field. We have designated trip leaders who are responsible for running each trip and ensuring that it is conducted in a safe manner. We are equipped with emergency safety kits for the unlikely event of an accident, including medical supplies, thermal blankets, emergency locator beacons and grid maps.
