The 4WD adventure track is guaranteed to deliver a thrill to those who just want to see how well their favourite ‘Off Roader’ performs; or for those who can’t stand watching and want a little taste of adventure.

4WD Extreme Show

The 4WD Extreme Show is a massively popular part of the 4WD Adventure Show, with huge crowds hording each year to see the spectacular. It is staged three times per day over the Show weekend, and fans are never disappointed! The Extreme Show features a purpose built track with a group of stunt drivers performing all kinds of jumps and stunts – extreme action not recommended for the family recreational 4WD.

The Engel Bush Camp

Don’t miss the Engel Bush Camp stage, with a full program of entertainment, demonstrations and presentations across the entire weekend. Expert presenters will demonstrate on all kinds of camping and 4 wheel driving topics, including camp oven cooking, getting the right camp cooking gear; 4WD tips such as trip preparation and travelling tips, vehicle preparation, recovery techniques and equipment, and suspension modifications.

This year, for the first time, we welcome well-known adventurer John "Roothy" Rooth from 4WD Action magazine. Roothy will be appearing each day to chat to crowds and tell his incredible stories. Don't miss your chance to meet this Aussie larrikin and have a chat!

If you've not encountered Roothy yet, this clip should give you an idea of what you're in for!
