There is internet dating but is there a way of meeting other like minded people with similar interest in caravaning, 4 wheeling etc. oversea's trips. Kids have left
home.
Certainly needs to be better then just taking who ever responds?
Something to talk about!

I will be looking to this site for some fellow travellers in the next 2 - 3 years .. My Jeep doesn't have the necessary safety and rescue gear yet and I certainly don't have the skills or knowledge that most of you have .. However am doing a "soft" cruise to Alice ,
Tennant Creek and
St George for the meet and back to
Melbourne in August - September - October over 8 weeks ... Hopefully this will show me what other things I will need for a bigger trip ...
Looking forward to meeting the people behind the forums ...
Cheers
Mandrake

Lots of different clubs around. They may not suit everyone, but if you
shop around you'll probably find a couple of clubs that suit you. Lots of people in 4wdclubs have caravans too.
I travel with a 4wd club, a couple of "Friends of National Parks" groups and organise private trips with friends from work and elsewhere. I've been to a couple of Exploroz things too. Lots of people with grown up kids doing the same in clubs and lots of retired people in the Friends groups.
I prefer not to travel with just anyone who wants to come along. They need to have done 4wd training and have a good
well prepared vehicle and be self-sufficient for trips I organise.
Not sure where you live, but in SA, you can get a list of 4wd clubs
from
4wd SA and for the Friends groups:
