Trip Reports

Another clean up for DBCA, this time on the west side of the Avon Valley in Moondyne country. A small concentrated pile of domestic rubbish (including furniture and white goods) had been found by DBCA rangers. We have magnificent bush land areas to the east of Perth and it is disappointing that there are people out there who would drive kilometres into the bush to dump rubbish, rather than pay to dump at any of the refuse disposal sites around Perth. As can be seen from the f

Back in March, Dave F organised a pre-winter trip down to Brunswick for some exploring and an overnighter for some. My work was a little too far away to make it back for this trip (Sean, Ed'), however the following images and videos from BM Prado Adventures and Simon's Adventures clearly show how much fun was missed. This is a great area to explore, and "just add water" only ramps up the fun factor! The enthusiastic group of "All Trackers" that attended include: Dave - Pra

Back in March, an enthusiastic group of club members led by our club President, assisted the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions, with a clean-up at Red Hill. Part of John Forrest National Park, it is close enough to Perth's eastern suburbs to get rubbish dumped by persons too inconsiderate of the environment to take waste to nearby refuse facilities. Two stories were published back on the 8th of March about this clean-up day. Since then, club members who

Participants: Sean - Triton; Brandon - Jimny; Matt - Pajero; Dave - Prado; Jacob and Troy - Jimny; Shane and Tal' - BT50 Heading north up the Mitchell Freeway, quickly discovered Dave on Ch 80 only about a kilometer behind us, so enjoyed conversation for the 40 odd minute drive to the meeting point at Wilbinga Grove. With our group together from here, we headed north up to Greenwood Coast Road, our access route into Breton Bay. The day was full of surprises including one tyr

As a conservation area, Red Hill as part of John Forrest National Park is usually off limits to 4WD's. As much as we are all saddened by the closures of such awesome 4WDing locations, it is also very easy to acknowledge why DBCA does gate off so many areas. The selfishness of a few to many, too tight in the hip pocket to pay a fee at the adjacent Red Hill Waste Management Facility, who dump rubbish in the National Park instead. Reason enough to be installing gates (everywhere

On Thursday the 30th, Roger Don and Jane went for a wander to see what they could find for the night time trip on the 2nd Feb'. What they discovered looks like fun!

29 December 2019 Overnighter Participants: Dave F. - 120 series Prado, Gary - 80 series Land Cruiser, Shane and Brandon - MR Triton, Sean and Deb - Nissan MQ Triton With a terminally ill gearbox, Brandon's Jimny stayed home and he hitched a ride with Shane who graciously picked Brandon up from home. Shane's day got off to a great start putting his wire joining skills to work, reconnecting the power lead to his fridge after it was severed by the fridge slide. The new MR Trito

The upcoming trip to Breton Bay will be the first time I have towed a trailer behind the Triton off-road; the trailer for this trip simply being my 6x4 box trailer. Some minor modifications were made that included the toughest LT tyre I could get for its 14 inch rims, and a Tregg hitch. The hitch is by far the most important mod', as a standard 50mm ball hitch simply doesn't have the range of movement needed negotiating any sort of trail with steep ramp over angles and cross

Cover images from the club magazine, January 2016 With quite a few new members in the club, an insight into the post-Christmas trip to Wellington Dam follows. This trip report was written for the club trip there 4 years ago, and was published in the January 2016 issue of the club magazine. Not in the magazine back then are some links to a couple of videos. One being Rogers Hill, and the other, me, towing a Follow Me camper out. Sean, Ed'. Wellington Dam Trip 26 December 2015

Dave's spot on the beach Participants: Dave F (Trip Leader) - Mitsubishi Prado; Matt and Alyssa - Mitsubishi Pajero; Shane - Mitsubishi Triton; Sean, Deb and Luke - Mitsubishi Triton As with any White Hill Beach trip, the meeting point was the Miami Bakehouse at Falcon for good coffee, and anything else from a bakery that might be needed for a morning recharge or lunch later in the day. Recharge more likely today, as a meet up time of 7am meant a much earlier start for Deb a

A big thank you to every member who was able to come along and volunteer to help run the Test Track at the 4WD Show for the WA4WDA this weekend (8th to 10th Nov’). You certainly made a long weekend a heap of fun for me and I hope enjoyed it as well. Richard C.
