Our club was formed to bring South Australian Range Rover owners together, to share a love of four-wheel driving in South Australia and beyond and a passion for a unique, iconic vehicle. Since 1986 membership has been open to owners and principal drivers of the Land Rover Range Rover & Discovery vehicles, and in 2012 membership was opened to all 4 wheel drive vehicles.
We are affiliated and liaise with the South Australian Association of Four Wheel Drive Clubs (Four Wheel Drive South Australia) and get representation and feedback on the wider issues affecting 4WDers, e.g. access to pastoral lease tracks etc. With this affiliation of the FWDSA, members are covered for substantial public liability insurance during participation in all Club events, including trips.
Each Easter for the past few years we have stayed at Melrose and supported the Land Rover Register Club’s Jamboree. Click here for more information on the Jamboree. When at Alpana we invariably join a tag‑a‑long tour in reasonably challenging terrain. (Take a look at our Photo Gallery for some shots of the recent Alpana trip)
It is not necessary to drive a Land Rover vehicle to become a member of our Club. All other 4WD types are encouraged to join our club and pride ourselves on being a casual, friendly and social club. We understand the demands of life and don't foster projects which would make huge demands on members’ time, rather focusing on a range of interesting activities, including the following:
We have a trip committee which has conducted trips to the Gawler Ranges, Coopers Creek and Coongie Lakes, a Simpson Desert crossing, Victorian High Country, the Blue Mountains, the Kimberleys, Cape York and the Grampians etc.
Members are encouraged to make purchases from advertisers in our magazine and request our Club discount rates, and we also have basic safety equipment for hire.
Club members are able to access true off-road vehicle insurance at a discounted rate. The SAAFWDC wrote its own policy statement, then sought insurance to cover it. This policy is 4WD specific without fine print escape clauses. This is much sought after by many members and cannot be accessed unless a member of a SAAFWDC affiliated club.
We welcome new members so you are encouraged to attend a monthly meeting and meet some like-minded enthusiasts!
See you at the next meeting.
