The Australian 4x4 and Marine Expo, which incorporates the
iconic Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle Show and Explore Australia Expo will take
place at an all-new on-water location this year from March 6-8 at Manly Harbour. "The new on-water location will allow us to showcase the
Marine Industry in its natural environment with the perfect backdrop of the
Manly Harbour,” Marine Queensland’s CEO, Don Jones said. "We are able to
deliver a hands-on event, with interactive displays, educational platforms and
a range of on-water demonstrations," he added.
The 2015 program includes the popular Engel
Fishing stage with a panel of well-known industry experts, the Downtown Toyota
On Water Demo Zone, the Yamaha Supertank, a seafood cooking station and for the
first time, free introductory sailing lessons for children thanks to Yachting
Queensland and the Discover Sailing Program.
This free activity will be positioned on the water of the
Manly Harbour precinct, giving children the opportunity to learn the ropes of
sailing in a safe environment with experts.
