Hi guys … can we please get a mention under “4WD groups/clubs”? We are nearly 450 members running stock and modified Subaru’s including Outback, Forester, Brumby, L Series. We have regular day trips (less since COVID) and occasional overnighters including Julimar Forrest, Wilbinga, Lancelin, Captain Fawcett, Mundaring (e.g. Powerlines & Nockine Rock), Wellington Dam, D’Entrecasteuax National Park (including Lake Jasper, Jasper Beach, Black Point & Calcup Hill), Dwellingup, Pinjar Pines etc. etc. We are a Facebook only group. Safety share at the start of every trip and Civil Liabilities Act clearly communicated to all members to make liability clear. We have a ‘no dickheads’ rule.
Hey Mike,
I reckon the place to find someone would be on Facebook – there’s lots of 4WD groups in Perth and WA that would have people keen.
All the best
