About

Purpose of the Gathering
	This Bi-annual event brings together four wheel drivers from across Australia to participate in four wheel driving, the opportunity to meet new 4x4 friends and enjoy a brilliant long weekend in the Sunshine states natural beauty.
	The main aim of the gathering is to give four wheel drivers a place to get together to foster friendships and exchange trip information, but most importantly to raise money for our nominated charities, the Royal Flying Doctor Service (Qld Section), VKS-737 4WD Radio Network and the local Pomona community.
	Whether you are in a club or prefer to travel alone or with friends, you are invited to be a part of this memorable event in South East Queensland.
	OPEN TO ALL FOUR WHEEL DRIVERS

History
	The Australian 4X4 Gathering has been held every two years, in every state and Territory so far except Queensland. The 1st Gathering was organized by a group of friends from various 4WD Clubs in South Australia (majority of the input and manpower came from the 4WD Adventurers Club) and held at Allandale Station via Oodnadatta in 1996 and was attended by 130 people. The beneficiary was the local Aboriginal Community. The 2nd Gathering in 1998 was organized by the Toyota Land Cruiser Club of Victoria, held at Ross River Homestead via Alice Springs. The 4WD Club of WA was selected to host the 3rd Gathering at Mt Augustus in WA in 2000. The 4th Gathering was held at Tillmouth Well in the NT. In 2002, the Rotary club of Broken Hill hosted the 5th 4X4 Gathering. The Independent 4X4 Club of Tasmania hosted the 6th Gathering near Hobart in 2006. Each of the Gatherings has attracted a large number of 4 Wheel Drivers from across Australia and the last gathering the 7th which was hosted by the Toyota Land Cruiser Club of Victoria in Mitta Mitta in March 2008 was also a huge success with 395 people attending.
