Four-wheel driving started as a way for Madelyn Holmes to get to better vantage points for photos and turned into a lasting passion. But people still do a double-take when they learn of her hobby.
Help keep family & friends informed by sharing this articleWhen Madelyn Holmes started four-wheel driving, she saw it purely as a means of getting more adventurous photos.
But a young woman trying to find a vintage vehicle to restore raised a few virtual eyebrows, even in 2021 when Ms Holmes started searching. Ms Holmes sought out this 1972 Land Rover to restore so she could keep improving her mechanical skills. Ms Holmes never imagined her four-wheel drive would be one of 30 selected for a showcase at Brisbane's national 4x4 expo.
Ms Holmes admits the world of four-wheel driving was intimidating to start with — and would have been more so without family support."Women are equally capable and can be equally enthusiastic about this kind of community."It wasn't until later that Ms Holmes found women-centred four-wheel driving communities like Chics Off Road.
