Advice for a New Member

I was hoping to benefit from the vast experience and knowledge of fellow members.
We are waiting the delivery of our off-road camper trailer, and until recently have done the long weekend/school holiday camping - not too far away/not too adventurous/in a Jayco on-road Hawk.
We are interested in finding a group to share camping experiences with - perhaps a bit more adventurous now - and I was wondering whether a 4WD club would be the way to go. We're not into extreme off-roading, just enjoying the countryside, sharing a campfire and good company.
From what I have seen while trawling through lots of websites, I feel that although we would love to learn more about travelling in remote areas, and participate in trips, are 4WD clubs too extreme for us?
I would welcome any comments and advice, and if anyone has suggestions for clubs in the Melbourne area, they would be very welcome.
Cheers All.
