ABOUT THE CLUB


The Toyota 4WD Club has no affiliation with Toyota Motor Corporation and you don’t have to own a Toyota to be a member of the club. We welcome all four wheel drivers and have a wide range of vehicle makes within our membership. Our only requirement is that vehicles are maintained to a road worthy standard and are capable of participating in the events the club runs.

The membership is made up of people from all age groups and all walks of life. Club trips are encouraged to cater for the differing needs of our membership. These range form extended Outback trips with moving bush camps for those with a love of the great outdoors and the time to “get away from it all”, to base camping in caravan parks with all facilities which suit families and those with a penchant for a touch of comfort.
