UNOFFICIAL - Defender 4WD group - Sydney

[Photodude]

Hay all, hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Years.

For the past several years i have been searching for a 4WD club that does outings both day trips out of Sydney and overnight further afield trips. To date i have had not luck.
So i thought i would see if anyone would be interested in creating a group of like minded Defender owners, to get together while exploring our great country. The trips will be all family based with kids ( and wives ) welcome, open to any Defender owners and we will try to get out there every 4-6 weeks or so. I do not want to lead all the trips and would like to draw on the knowledge of others to go to different area that my family and i have yet to discover.

At this stage i am just looking to see if this is something that maybe of interest.

I take it you haven't found the LROC(S) yet? Whilst there aren't trips every weekend there are day trips, weekend trips and week plus length trips all year round.
Planning a day trip for the 12th of December is even further in advance than most week long trips are organised!

I will definitely be interested later in the year once my truck is finished.

Thanks,

Sorry it was a typo, was ment to say 18th Jan ( now been fixed )
Many many years ago used to be a member of the land rover club Sydney branch and was trip leader for a few years. Will look into it again thank you.

I'm in, Photodude.

I tend to go away about once a month with my mates who drive a Hi-Lux and two Land Cruiser's respectively, but I'd love to go away with a few other Defender owners.

Should be able to get Damo along as well now that he has Big Red.

I'm very keen to find out where other people go on their weekends away as I love exploring new places.....and of course I'm very happy to share a few of my favourite spots too.

I'm not sure if I'll be allowed on the JC trip as SWMNOBABFAR is having a double foot operation next week and will need me to don the slave outfit....but we'll see!

Would you be open to possible tag-along by Canberra based defenders if you venture south? My roster varies, so not always free on a weekend, but would like to maybe sneak along on the odd trip.

Not a problem at all, i would like to do a few overnight trips. That way we can get further out of Sydney.

Starting a 'proper' 4WD club is a nightmare trust me.

Just meet Defender owning fellas here on AULRO, post an event in the upcoming trips forum, enjoy the trip and post a report in the trip reports forum when you get back.

I'd be keen to head out with other fender owners! Currently on the last leg of a two week trip with the missus and the amount of LR bashing from jap owners ive encountered is driving me insane! Even had a police office take a dig at me yesterday while sitting in his pootrol! Arrgh... So.. to head out with like minded individuals would be a breath of fresh air!!

What's the saying... "Haters gonna Hate".

They just don't want to admit they are driving cars with all the character and charm of a fridge.
