This camping and 4WD show is probably the biggest outside the major cities. It's run by the local 4WD clubs every two years, with about half of any profits going to charities and similar organisations.
This area has been in drought for years and every effort was made to minimise dust. With about 130 exhibitors and attendance expected to be 10000+, maybe double that, there were high expectations.
The dought had to break sometime!

In spite of 100+mm of rain, it was a great show.

Hi J & V also Scott & Matt
Yeah the show was a bit damp but productive all the same. I could not believe that so many would brave that weather to go and see the show, its a great testament to the shows popularity down there, a credit indeed to the combined clubs that present it, also to the volunteers that helped run the event, and not forgetting the SES that not only put on a fine display but also they still had to do their normal duties due to the flood down there,
well done SES.
TONI was on display with Total Care 4WD, the creators of TONI

Colin,
It was great to see the car, it looks great and I think that Total Care might be on to quite a good niche market there.
The rain doesn't seem to have deterred many people from going, but it was hugely welcome down here. The best rain for about 8 years and we have some full dams for the first time in a decade or so.
Still thinking about the $8K offer, think you need to come down a bit, but we should be able to reach a deal.
Cheers,
Matt.

Some of the poor campers came back to
camp after a busy morning and found that they were flooded out.
Great spirit, good people, and even the rain didn't totally spoil the weekend..Image Could Not Be Found
Not my site, the owner was ok and all smiles, he said the beds dry and thats all that matters...
This area was worse on Sunday morning....
P.S. Record breaking attendance dispite the rain....
