Keeping our bush clean
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

Brunswick, March 2020
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

Red Hill Bush cleanup Videos
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

Breton Bay
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

Box trailer for off-road
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

Wellington Dam
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

A word from... The Editor
Early this year, we lost the use of a printer in a local organisation after a restructure, and since then the magazine has been distributed to members in a PDF format only. Richard has extended distribution via email through the wider WA4WDA community. Throughout the entire year, Jon and Sue have been putting in a huge effort to get a new club website up and running, delayed at one point by a server crash, however their perseverance has resulted in this fabulous new look webs

2019 4WD & Adventure Show - Volunteer Information
Firstly, a big thank you for volunteering your valuable time to help out this weekend with the running of the Test Track at the 4WD Show. Where is the test track this year? The test track this year is just a bit further up from where it was last year, the best bet is to access via Taylor Street off Canning Highway . Where can I park? Parking as usual will fill up fast , but it does extend up towards the Causeway and I believe there will be an exit from the parking heading wes
