Are they not the same thing? Does and all wheel drive apply to vehicles with more or less than 4 wheels?

In Australia there are a lot of warning signs to tell stupid people that the following {road, beach, whatever} is high clearance 4×4 only and not suitable to AWD.
This is because a lot of morons get stuck and go “but my car is AWD” – there’s a difference, 4×4 used to mean “off road” but because you get latte sipping wine connoisseurs arguing that AWD == 4×4, you get a lot of stuck people needing a rescue out on the trails or on the islands.
