Billabong
Off Road has been in operation since 1987. We have
been conducting Tag A Long Tours both locally and
Australia wide since inception.
The driver training section
of the company has been on going since 1992. In 1996
we received accreditation with local, state, and federal
governments to deliver a nationally recognised training
program developed by the Australian National Four
Wheel Drive Council. To enable Billabong Off Road
to deliver this course, all trainers were required
to achieve the necessary qualifications as specified
by the Australian National Training
Authority (ANTA).
Billabong Off Road has enjoyed the pleasure of training
numerous government departments including Emergency
Services, Queensland Forestry, Corrective Services,
Mining Companies, BCC, National Parks, QLD Rural
Fire Services and of course, private citizens.
Billabong
Off Road are the official driver trainers to the Variety
Club of Queensland. Our involvement is
very intense and our duties include safety, the environment,
and the responsible and correct operation of an off
road vehicle. We will be officiating and participating
in the upcoming events.
The
company uses four Toyota Landcruisers and a Nissan
Patrol Wagon. As well as being representative of our
business, each vehicle is optioned up fully. Whilst
they are working vehicles, each one in itself is a
show vehicle, used in all local and rural shows and
off road expo's throughout Queensland and Northern
New South Wales.
