We meet at The Cricketer's Arms, Prospect. Come early and socialise. Check out the menu at the pub. Discovery Four Wheel Driving Club of Australia Inc.
Still interested? Then please read on. For various reasons many of the older 4WD clubs started running closed 4WD events on private land or worse still, dropped 4WDriving and camping trips to the bush, in favour of outings to the theatre or the Zoo etc. The founders of the discovery club remembered the excitement they experienced at their first 4WD outings and how it made them aware of the bush and the pleasure it brought. So, as the older clubs were moving away from that, there was clearly a need for a club that was dedicated to just 4WD and/or camping, and because we wanted our members to discover the bush and outback it could only be called the Discovery club. A club that would encourage people to discover the bush and desert regions by four wheel drive. All the clubs' outdoor events contain 4WDriving and/or camping. A club that can offer all kinds of trips. Anything from a simple one day, easy drive affair to a six week trip to the worlds most isolated track like the Canning Stock Route. We wanted to form a club that could show it’s members how best to prepare their vehicles, how to cook a fabulous meal in a cast iron oven over a log fire and have fun you never dreamed possible with great, like minded people. So The Discovery Four Wheel Driving Club of Australia Inc. was formed. Contact Details: Postal Address - P.O.

the club Christmas party trip report is here. My self The loneys and the Hulberts, all arrived at the lavis lanne servo with in 20 mins of each other, for what was to be a camp finding expedition, along the beach towards anna bay. All went well and we found a pe beaut spot about 5 k from anna bay, nestled in behind some smallish dunes with a little bit of scrub for securing the big trap.It was a hot day and we were nervous that it would be too hot. By the time we had erected the huge hulbert tarp it was about 3pm and things were starting to cool down, to what would be a wonderful arvo and night of fun. We put upo the signs so no one would get lost, both were so vissable it would be easier to get a poke in the eye with a blunt stick than miss them. LOL I wont tell you who but 2 people got lost. By 6pm we had 22 cars at the camp sight, it was like tent city, and i have to at this point make some special mentions. DOon loney in his new Gu which was a cross between blue and green, the barber rangie with shithouse in toe, slop slop. Andy vann raalt and donna who drove all the way from west Austraila for the weekend and also the streaker who turned up around midnight, to have the few brave soles still up, in hysterics. nice one sir.There was a very nice little dog running around and a few hot chicks. We had Photographers and we had star gazers, in fact we had it all The dunnny was a real hit with everyone, and proved to be priceless, well done team Barber, with special mention to Bronny for being the christening bottom. see you all next year don goldney There were just too many people there to mention them all We partyed into the wee hours and on sunday morning there were a few very poorly people, i do believe we even had some cooling rain Thanks to everyone for turning up it was a balll Posted by: DonG on Feb 14, 2009 - 09:37 AM

Phil Lehn, and Belinda. In the Double diff locks disco - Trip leaders Simon Ballard in the love box Zook Don the Pom Goldney. Big red fire truck (not so big these days). I set of from Westmead too early and arrived at the meeting place with 40 mins to spare, not to worry it was a glorious day for a 4 wheel drive and Little Wheeny creek is a great place to go, if you are of the more adventurous type.
