WA bound

Submitted: Friday, May 02, 2003 at 09:44

Thommo

Hello all,
I am relocating from NE Vic to WA, and I am keen to meet with people that 4WD out of Perth. I understand there are a couple of clubs and lost to see and do, however personal experiences are the best.
I welcome any suggestions from Perth based 4WDer's.
(I have checked out the trek listing on this great site)
Thanks,
Thommo.

Don't have to have a campertrailer to join. Emphasis is on camping, 4WD and travelling in WA. Lot of members in SW WA getting together for day trips and weekend get togethers.

You have to remember (and this is important) that you are never, ever, EVER, allowed to tell the folks back on the east coast what a great place it is over here in the west.

Enjoy your stay here !
