Hi Prattie,
Not sure who's around down there - Google is good. Maybe join one of the 4WD clubs down there.
We just got back from advanced
driver training with Great Divide Tours at their
Braidwood training ground (fair drive for you), but these guys are great. We learnt so much over the past two weeks, and had the great time doing it. We really put the Cruiser thru its paces.

Prattie,
Welcome to the fun world of four wheelin'.
I agree with some of the earlier replies and recommend joining a club. Many clubs' instructors are members, but also run 4WDriver training courses/schools professionally. The standard of training in Clubs is usually excellent, and if you do a few trips, you'll find your competancy and confidence will develop very quickly, rather than doing a day or weekend course and then trying to remember what to do when you meet a difficult situation alone on ther track.
Other club benefits are - good networking for technical stuff, like where to get cheap parts, respected mechanics, useful vehicle upgrades to your model ..all sorts of
information.
Plus, clubs know all the best tracks locally, often with access to areas where civvies aren't allowed.
Have a look at this site ..
4WD Victoria.
