All trips are graded from 1 to 5. See the Trip Leader/Coordinator for further information about the difficulty of each individual trip.  Details as follows:

	Grade 1 = Bitumen & Dirt
	Grade 2 = Dirt & Easy 4WD
	Grade 3 = Medium 4WD
	Grade 4 = Hard 4WD
	Grade 5 = Extreme 4WD.

When members are participating in trips involving Sand Dunes, Sandy tracks or high Mallee type tracks, and visibility is restricted, each vehicle must be fitted with a red flag, situated at least 1 metre above the roof level.

The club has some of these "Sand Flags", with universal fittings to suit all vehicles, available for loan if required.

Communication between vehicles whilst on club trips normally takes place via UHF CB Radio, using Channel 16 Simplex. Other channels may be used depending on conditions and frequency usage in particular areas.

Members are encouraged to monitor UHF Channel 5 (Emergency Channel) and UHF Channel 10 (National 4WD Channel) where possible. Members may borrow a Club UHF Radio/Antenna kit on a trip-by-trip basis, until they acquire their own UHF Radio.
