Four Wheel Driving is a great way to experience nature at its best and can easily be achieved with a young family. We have two boys, 3 & 1 who absolutely love four wheel driving, or as my son says, "up and down hills". Because the kids will be in the saddle all day, our secret is matchbox cars, snacks, drinks and making the most of the breaks you have along the way.
Our latest trip was to Enfield State Forest in Victoria, shown on the map below.
This trip was taken with our local club,
City West 4x4, who offer day trips around Melbourne and interstate throughout the year. Although we do go out four wheel driving with friends, clubs are a great option for families who want to take kids along. Because my kids are so young I leave the hard and extreme tracks to my husband while my kids and I watch along and take photos with other club members.
This was the clubs first time to Enfield so we weren't sure what we were going to find, but we found some great tracks. The weather the week before we went had been really wet which made very long and deep bog hills and slippery tracks. It was great to see that some drivers were unable to accomplish some of the tracks, requiring a winch to pull them out. This is what four wheel driving is all about, pushing your car to its extremes, while being safe, and seeing what you can and can't do.
We entered the forest from Victoria Road and soon found some great tracks. I highly recommend exploring the area. You can see from the photo's attached some of the great fun we experienced along the way.
