Port Hunter 4x4 Club is a fun, family-friendly club based in the Lake Macquarie/Newcastle region of NSW. We enjoy various events throughout the year, such as day trips, weekend trips, overnight camping, social days and extended trips (usually annually).
- Our trips range from those suitable for standard 4WDs with low range through to harder trips for the more adventurous
- Get peace of mind and safety by travelling with experienced and supportive, like-minded enthusiasts
- We grade our trips so you can choose trips that suit your level of ability and vehicle
We hold Driver Training days for our members during each year through the DTU (Driver Training Unit of 4WD NSW & ACT). Many of our members are accredited in basic driver training through to advanced driver training. Driver awareness courses are an integral part of the club's objectives with a strong focus on the safe and correct use of your vehicle and recovery equipment.
Port Hunter 4x4 Club is affiliated with the 4WD NSW & ACT.
4WD NSW & ACT is the peak body representing 4WDrivers in NSW.
4WD NSW & ACT affiliation with 4WD Australia & the Australian Confederation of Motor Clubs (ACMC) brings strength in numbers when representing the interests of the 4WD community to government departments and land managers.
An added benefit of being a member of the Australian Confederation of Motor Clubs (ACMC) through our affiliation with 4WD NSW & ACT, qualifying vehicles can be registered under the conditional registration scheme. Through these affiliations we are kept up to date with vehicle modification rule changes.
We meet regularly with other 4WD clubs in our region as part of the Hunter Region Four Wheel Drive Council, to discuss issues affecting 4WDriving in our area, and to plan combined activities - which are primarily aimed towards community service.
Port Hunter 4x4 Club has a proud history of working with land managers in our area.
Working with local staff of both National Parks & Wildlife Service and Forestry Corporation, we have participated in tree planting, sand dune rehabilitation, noxious weed and rubbish removal.
The Memorandum of Understanding between 4WD NSW & ACT and National Parks & Wildlife Service establishes a framework to guide 4WD Clubs and NPWS in the creation and participation in approved volunteer activities.
