If you’re a new or novice 4WD driver or perhaps been an owner for a while and want to learn more, then this is the place to properly start your future adventures! First Time Out is the nexus for any adventurer wanting to acquire the best 4WD knowledge and then apply those newly learnt skills in a challenging off-road environment with our guidance.

We deliver First Time Out in a single day in the field at our property in the Barossa Valley, designed to build confidence in new drivers in readiness for tackling trails that are way Beyond the Bitumen. You’ll understand the importance of using the gearbox and 4WD range, engine braking and throttle control as well as vehicle positioning on the track, all whilst having a great time with your fellow attendees.

With confidence and with some skills emerging, we’ll venture into more challenging terrain, practice common vehicle breakdown and recovery methods and tackle other challenges with holiday safety in mind.

At day’s end you’ll have learnt tricks and techniques that would normally take years to accumulate, making you a competent and aware driver both on and off the road!
