Home

We are a small friendly club which share a common passion for off-road four wheel driving.

We welcome new members, and you don’t even need a Hilux to join.  Many of our members have started with a Hilux and have moved onto a variety of other vehicles.

We are affiliated with Four Wheel Drive Victoria and we are proud members of the Victorian High Country Huts Association

The Hilux Club hold our meetings at 8pm on the third Wednesday of each month (except December) at The Commercial Club Hotel, 344 Nicholson St, Fitzroy VIC 3065
Please feel free to come along and have a drink and a chat. Please ask at the bar if you cant find us.

Upcoming Trips

Christmas Trip – O’Toole’s Flat – 29th Nov – 1st December

Hi Folks, Another year has passed and we are now rapidly approaching our next Christmas trip. It’s the biggest trip of the year with a huge turnout by all members and their families. This year will be at O’Toole’s Flat on Donnellys Creek Rd, Toombon, near Thompson Dam.

Santa will be coming on the back of a Hilux to deliver presents to the children of the club members. The club will be putting on a big spit roast of Pork, Beef and Lamb along with roasted vegies.

O’Tooles has plenty of room for Caravans and camper trailers. If you are towing, you will need to follow Donnelly’s Creek Rd from Walhalla Rd. The descent into the valley for O’Tooles can be a bit slippery if wet so keep that in mind if you considering towing something in.
