Objectives and Purposes

To encourage and promote the pastime of caravan, motorhome, and camping touring Australia wide.
To promote the spirit of goodwill and fellowship amongst club members and fellow travellers.
To encourage affiliation and closer relationships with other clubs of similar interests.
To act with similar bodies in any manner affecting their mutual interest.
To do all such things as are incidental or condusive to the attainment of the said objective or any of them.
To enjoy and help other travellers enjoy their travels.

In the beginning there were many requests from travellers, or some care to be called Nomads, for a club which would provide them with support, information, regular newsletters, and also allow them to attend National and State rallies if they so desired. After much thought it was decided that the time was right for a club such as the ATCM & CC to be formed for people who didn't wish to be tied down to normal type RV clubs, to be a member of a club with all the benefits, and be free to follow their dream. So the club was set up and soon letters arrived from around Australia asking for information. We now have members in every State and Territory of Australia. Our growth program has been controlled to allow us to put into motion the things that we said we would do, and now we feel that the time is right to promote our club more and take the next step. We arrange two National Get Togethers a year where members can come together and make everlasting friends as has already happened at our past Get Togethers.

We will push for the improvment of rest areas, road conditions, safety in Caravan Parks, proper amenities for the disabled, and all things that can make travel safer and more enjoyable for our members and all travellers. We are also a member of the Association of Caravan Clubs of Victoria as well as being affiliated with VKS 737, the 4WD Radio Network for the benefit of members. We are also part of a lobby group of Australian RV Clubs promoting and helping fellow travellers to have safe and enjoyable travels.

We fully support the drive for a CB channel for travellers whether they are towing a van or steering a motorhome. This has been talked about for many years and always placed in the too hard basket. Our club has sent over 2,000 CH. 18 stickers Australia wide with very positive feedback from the truckies. As part of the proceeds of the sale of these stickers, the Royal Flying Doctor Service receives donations. If by our efforts we can save one truck and caravan smash, then it has been worthwhile.

We will be pleased to have you join us.
