Joining the Townsville & District 4WD club is easy and provides you a great opportunity to have fun with a group of people who have a passion and willingness to share in adventures in the great outdoors.
Enjoy 4WDriving and camping, gain new friendships, and the experience of our great social events. Members come from all walks of life and many have started out with limited experience in 4WDriving. Many members just enjoy the experience while others have a desire to conquer the elements with gadgets and their machines.
We treat safety as a priority and by enjoying the 4WD experience in a group of like-minded people it ensures that if there are any concerns with experience or safety, or unfortunate breakdowns, you are supported by fellow club members. Whether you are new to 4WDriving or have experience you will take comfort in the knowledge that members of the club are happy to help and share their expertise.
