Welcome to the Nissan Patrol 4WD Club
of NSW & ACT Inc

The Nissan Patrol Club of NSW & ACT Inc ("NPC") is a Sydney based 4WD club open to members of all ages and drivers of all vehicles. If you are from interstate, you might like to look at the web-sites of Nissan Patrol Clubs in other states.

We are a friendly club with a membership that includes young singles, families and retirees. Drivers range from absolute newcomers to 4WDing as well as thrill-seekers willing to compete in events such as the Nissan Trials. One thing binds all our members - a love for the bush and the enjoyment of "getting out there" with others who share that passion.

The NPC organises driver training, regular camping trips and social outings as well as providing a forum to meet and discuss 4WD issues at our monthly General Meeting.

Check out our calendar to see what events are coming up in the near (and not so near) future. You can also browse through our trip reports to see what we have been up to, and where.

If you are already a Member, you can visit our members' only zone to access the detailed calendar of upcoming events; committee member contact lists; minutes from past meetings as well as book onto club trip or get other club information.

If you would like to join us, simply complete our membership form, print it out and forward it to us by fax or post. Or better yet, come along to our next General Meeting. Visitors are most welcome at our General Meetings, so come check us out and decide if our Club is right for you.

Why join a 4WD Club?

Sure, you can do a 4WD course at any number of commercial organisations and yes, they are very good, but what happens after that?

As a member of a 4WD Club, you get your driver training but where you get your value and enjoyment is what comes after that.

Your driver training course is followed up with the opportunities to go on trips with other like minded people (not those who have paid money to follow someone else).

On those trips, you get mileage, which is how you really develop your 4WD skills. You also benefit from sharing experiences and forming new friendships.

4WD Clubs also assist in providing a united voice in our fight to maintain access to this great country.
