CLUB DRIVER EDUCATION DAY

HAPPY 38TH BIRTHDAY
A brief history of the Club, written by Jeff & Jan Doyle (foundation members).
The image of four wheel drive owners as “road hogs or bush tearabouts” was one a group of ardent Albury four wheel drive owners hoped to change, hence the formation of the Albury-Wodonga 4WD Club, at a meeting held at the Lavington Sports Club on 18th April, 1988. The major aims of the club were to promote safe and responsible four wheel driving in a family orientated arena. The club was also formed to become involved with local community activities.

A REVIEW OF 2025
As 2025 draws to a close, we reflect on what has been a truly fabulous year of four wheel driving trips and activites, full of fun laughter & camaraderie.
There have been trips ranging from one day to four & five days. Some of these have been purely social gatherings.
Members have been in the mud.
