The inaugural Australian 4x4 and Marine Expo at Manly Boat Harbour is open now and all weekend (March 6-8) with a full program of entertainment and interactive activities for the whole family to enjoy.
Brisbane's first on-water Marine and 4x4 exhibition will include an on-water demonstration's area and marina for test rides as well as a purpose-built Adventure Track that will host racing, demonstrations, entertainment and for the first time, test drives.
There are rafts of keenly priced boats on show and all the big Queensland tinnie and fibreglass-boat builders will have boats for all budgets rigged up and ready to roll. As we're coming into the peak boating and fishing season in Queensland, this is a timely Expo to grab a bargain, get afloat and go fishing.
The On Water Demonstration Zone will feature jet skis, boat launches, jet pack entertainment and a range of safety demonstration with industry professionals while Yachting Queensland and the Discover Sailing program will offer free sailing experiences for children at the event.
Visitors with a passion for getting off the beaten track will be able to immerse themselves in a range of activities at the Adventure Track presented by Oricom. From daily demonstrations featuring tips and techniques on safety, recovery, vehicle setup and traction boards to test drives and test rides on a special course, designed to simulate off-road terrain.
Consumers will also be able to participate in a range of seminars and workshops at the Briz31 Seminar Hub and Engel Fishing Stage. The Briz31 Seminar Hub will present a selection of industry experts with real 4wd and adventure experience, providing tutorials and workshops on areas including GPS navigation, map reading, photography, new vehicle electronics, towing and solar.
Over at the Engel Fishing Stage show goers will be invited to take part in talks, demonstrations and activities with some of Australia’s most respected names in recreational fishing including Ernie Dingo, Dave Hodge, Matthew Hubbard and Paul Burt.
Australian 4x4 and Marine Expo Event Manager Paul Morgan said the expo provided entertainment and activities for the whole family. It is hoped the fresh and unique style of the expo will breathe new life into the old, uninspiring type of consumer exhibitions.
Located on the shores of Moreton Bay, just 20kms from the CBD, ?the new location ? provides a scenic backdrop which compliments the 120 plus exhibitors, entertainment and activities that's truly the one stop shop for all your outdoor recreational needs.
