Hi i am thinking of going up to the 4wd show on next weekend, wondering if anyone else is also going up, carpool? if going same day.

excerpt from the flyer.
The 2011 event, will again be run in conjunction with the Brisbane Tinnie & Tackle Show from March 8 - 10 April, 2011.

The dust will be flying at the RNA Showgrounds on 8 - 10 April, 2011, with organisers of the National 4x4 and Outdoors Expo announcing an all-new lineup of Action Arena attractions at the leading towing, touring and camping event.

Truckloads of dirt will be brought into the RNA Showgrounds to construct the Action Arena which will host a range of demonstrations including the crazy Loveday Extreme 4x4 Show, the 4wd TV All Terrain Challenge and the Browns Grafix Mini Moto display.

The track will double as a testing area with manufacturers providing test rides in their latest models and four wheel drive clubs conducting sessions to teach individuals the correct technique to use when negotiating some common obstacles confronted whilst on the road less travelled.

I will probably be going on the Friday arvo after work. The advantages of midday finishes on Fridays. Say hi, if you see me there.

G'day Phil, we're going up friday (less crowded) morning to make a full day of it. We had been considering travelling by train departing Helensvale station. What suburb are you in ??

I will be there on the Friday too but the Gold coast would be a bit of detour

Phil, here's the plan -
At this stage we'll catch the train departing Helensvale Station at 8.04am,
arriving at Brunswick Street Station at 9.13am.
Then it's an 870 metre walk:(arriving at the RNA Showgrounds at 9.26am.
Which is all good because the gates open at 9am.
