About Me

ABOUT ME Townsend

Background
I started 4WDing in the late '90's with an old Triton twin cab and a long handle shovel as my recovery gear. In 2005, I commenced 4WD training and spent many weekends learning the skills to Australian Standards, required to be a competent 4WD Trainer and Assessor through the Driver Training Unit 4WD SA training and assessing 4WD Club Members.

​In the same year, I worked for the Department of Transport as a Rider Safe Instructor teaching and assessing learner Motor Cycle Riders until my retirement in 2015.

After retirement, I began my Training and Assessing in the 4WD Industry with SA 4WD Training, Off Road Training Australia, Pindan Tours and 4WD Training, Australian Driving Institute, Australian Off Road Academy (QLD) and Eurkea 4WD Training (WA).

Also, I conduct 4WD Club Training for the Mount Lofty Ranges 4WD Club and various other 4WD clubs.
