Trip Attendance - New Member Information
Driver Training and Trip Participation.
For the safety and enjoyment of all participants the club requires all drivers to be at a minimum training
and skill standard on all 4x4 trips. Except for our Easy rated trips, drivers must have completed MJOC Basic Driver
Training or show documentary proof of completion of a similar approved course. Our MJOC Basic Driver Training is Jeep
specific and includes club rules and procedures, driver skills, correct vehicle recovery process, and vehicle control.
If you have not completed these requirements you will not be able to attend trips other than Easy rating. Even experienced drivers will benefit from our course. Participants must be current members to attend any training course.
Bookings
Only current MJOC financial members can attend trips so make sure your membership is current before you book, or
your booking will be removed. All bookings are on a strictly first come, first served basis. Convoy sizes are strictly enforced. Please check the attendees list to see if you are "booked". If there is insufficient space in the convoy then your status will show as "standby". When cancellations occur, you will move up the list. If there are significant over bookings then additional convoys may be added so do not hesitate to put your name down, you may end up on the trip.
Booking Cancellations
Please respect other members by letting us know if you have booked on a trip and for some reason cannot attend.
If you cannot make the trip, please email operations@mjoc.org.au as soon as possible to give someone else a trip
opportunity. It is preferred that cancellations are made at least 48 hours prior to the trip.
Trip Leading
All MJOC 4x4 trips are led by trained Trip Leaders who have completed the MJOC Trip Leader Training Course. If you are interested in becoming a trip leader you should see yourself as having adequate experience and skills that would
enable you to lead fun and adventurous trips into remote areas. To attend a MJOC Trip Leader Course you will need to have completed MJOC Advanced Driver Training course prior. Watch out for upcoming Trip Leader Training Courses on the training pages.

Huts and More Huts 15/05/2021 - 16/05/2021 |
| |
This is a bit of a High Country Huts weekend with a camp in the middle. We will be camping either at Bindaree Hut, Pikes Flat Campground or Jamison Upper Hut depending on time. This will be mostly a senic drive on logging roads with a few steep tracks in between. Pack for all weather possibilities as it is the High Country but plan on it being chilly. There will be easy outs if you are only interested in a 1 day trip.
Please bring a bag of firewood and some appetisers to share at the campfire.
A chainsaw is also a good option as trees have a bad habit of falling on the tracks at the worst spot.

MJOC MUSTER CAMPOUT
A weekend of wheeling and camping in Jambo country. This trip is planned to have a base camp and run different trips each day. Set up from Friday night or come up Saturday morning. You can spend Saturday and Sunday and some of Monday wheeling some of the Jamboree trails in the Rubicon Forest, Big River, Eildon, Narbethong areas. Points of interest along the way may include 15 Mile Hut, Keppells Hut, Rubicon power station and more. If we get multiple Trip Leaders we can run multiple trips each day.
Most day trips will be either Medium or Difficult but we could run others if we get some other Trip Leaders coming.
Campsite details will be sent out prior to the trip and will be Camper Trailer friendly if you come up early. The meeting place will be the base campsite or another spot as advised.
Directions will be sent to each member booking
Come along and set up camp and socialise around the camp fire or just come up for a day if you wish.
The number of attendees will be determined by the number of Trip Leders who book. So book on and we will try and run additional trips as required.
New Trip Leaders can use this event to run their first trip. Trail details can be supplied. Non-Trip Leaders can also run Easy rated drives in this area.
This is a great opportunity to get out in the fresh air and go Jeeping.
