Also interested.
Just moved to the area and bought our first camper trailer to make camping easier with our 2 yr old daughter (or more comfortable for SWMBO!).

Personally the only true way to find out is going on a trip or going to a information night. That being  with any club,  his say her say can be VERY different  from your say.
 If you do get a chance go in VERY open minded,  EVERY club are different in some way.
I would think of what you want out the club. Eg more experience,  friends or drinking buddies.
Question  i know I  would ask or observe to see how they deal with "stuff" would  be.
Alcohol,  when can i start drinking. Some clubs are ZERO alcohol.
Experience,  do i need accreditation  or tickets to go on the better trips. Can be a little annoying once payed up to find out sorry we'll need to tick you off (all about insurance ) before you can do that trip...
How many members.
Average  age group.
Type of 4wds. Gives you a idea on what style of cruising they do.

and i could keep going.

Its really about trial and error.  Just because 1 club is good for someone doesn't mean it'll  be good for you.

I was in a 4wd club (Southern Cross) for 17 years.....
Great club, great people, we just don't have time now with the farm, but I highly recommend a club.
Great way to get out and about with like minded people. We made a lot of good friends that I'm sure we'll have for life.
Once things settle down again, we'll go back for sure.

Best way is to try before you buy.
Go on a trip or two and see if you fit in.
If they won't allow it, just try another club. Plenty of them in Sydney.

Cheers

going on trips alone is something clubs usually advise against, they prefer members to show up to their events which is the whole point I guess - but they will usually be happy enough to be measured friends and impart advice. when I lived in the macarthur region I was told that club was a good one, it has been twenty years since I moved away but if its like the one down here half my work belong to it will be fine
