G`day all, I fly into Melbourne on Saturday morning and notice there is the "National 4x4 Show" & Fishing show on at the Exhibition Centre this weekend. I was thinking about heading there on Sunday for a while, any one been before, is it any good and worth going, or not really worth the effort.

It's been several years since I've been but I too am flying down to Melbourne and going to the show on Friday. It was very commercial and I'm sure it is even more so since the last time I went. But it's a good place to pick up ideas, what's new in camping and fishing and offroad stuff.

I noticed in the exhibitor list that Land Rover doesn't have a stand as such, though Overfinch does. I suppose that further highlights the direction of LR to the Toorak Tractor market. But Subaru and Holden are both there:confused:

If you're wanting to go, book your ticket on line and if you are a 4WD club member there is a discount of 50%. This way you don't have to queue for a ticket, just pick it up on the way in.

I havent been before either....only had Disco for about 2 years etc.

Whats the go....ok just to lob at the LROCV stand and say "Do you know me from the forum"????? We will be there on Sunday from about 10:00.

Im hoping to catch up with some of the members from the forum but......some I dont even know there real names.

So is name tags with real name and forum name a good idea? :confused: :p :p

Its just good to catch up with some "Real" LR owners as I dont get to "The Big Smoke" often.....most LR owners out this way are....well lets just say not to sure about talking to me about there LR.........its a shame when you cant even go up to a LR owner without getting the "What the hell do you want" look :( or they think Im going to offer them a "Great Deal" or even ask them to charge phone server etc :( :mad: :twisted:

I just dont get it........

Anyway if I speak to you on Sunday, say Gday on the forum , but make sure you remind me who you were....."You know me, I was wearing the Red jumper" :)

G'day Andrew,

Not sure if anyone from this forum will be at the show on Sunday morning.

I am working on Saturday night for the Land Rover Owners club - We have a stand there connected to 4wd Vic.

We'll be handing out info about the Victorian 4x4 show at wandin.

www.victorian4wdshow.com.au (http://www.victorian4wdshow.com.au)

and info about club membership of LROCV etc...


I'm not sure who's working on Sunday... but a few here are LROCV members.. feel free to drop in.
We have plenty of members in country Vic as well as Melbourne..

Cheers,
Mark

The Adelaide show was just on. And it was a heap of crap.
Certainly not worth the $15.00 Entry, other than for the Hill Billy Camp Oven I bought with the Upside down gas contraption as an option to fire and beads.

Bloody neat idea actually.

I will be there Friday morning as we are off the Gold Coast on Saturday for a week. Dont know why I bother going to these shows as there is rarely anything new and I have more than enough gear for 3 people!
