4WD Recreation Course & Driver Education
What is the Experience?
If you've never taken your 4WD off the bitumen, but would like to get off the beaten track, join us for a learning journey in off-road driving on a recreational course! Bring your own 4WD or use ours to help improve your skills by putting them to the test on our exclusive, purpose built 4WD circuit!
Four Wheel Driving is the heart of Australian culture, especially in the outback. Now you can get off the beaten track in your 4WD without having to drive thousands of miles to the middle of nowhere!
Four Wheel Drives have special capabilities, but it takes skill to use these features safely and correctly. On the day, you will be taught how to drive a 4WD safely and confidently without incurring damage to yourself, your vehicle or the environment.
Our unique 4WD circuit has been specially designed to include a wide variety of terrain and obstacles such as declines, inclines, soft sand, side slopes and hills. The practical training provides familiarisation in actual off-road conditions, gradually progressing to more difficult and challenging terrain during the day.
You will learn how to drive a 4WD and negotiate all the different types of obstacles and terrain you might encounter when four wheel driving in the country. It is a comprehensive 4WD course catering to all levels of experience. Get the best from your vehicle by:
- Understanding the characteristics of 4WD vehicles
- Learning vehicle recovery techniques
- Correctly negotiating mud and sand obstacles
- Knowing ideal wheel placement
- Handling rough terrain
- Selecting the right gear and also when and how to engage four wheel drive
- Experiencing stall out and stall recovery
- Completing ascents and descents
- Negotiating humps and ditches
- Responding to transmission wind up
You are welcome to have up to one passenger in the 4WD with you on the day.
