Brisbane Caravan Show

Spent the day wandering around the Brisbane Camping. Surprised by the absence of many regular exhibitors. The weather was good and there were very few surprises. Usually there are an excessive number of new and innovative products to marvel at. Apart from a few caravan design differences we did not enjoy the show as much as usual. There were actors in costume walking around. Musicians with loud instruments. Why?  I wonder how much of the $18 admission fee was dedicated to this unnecessary distraction. Did we get value for the admission price? We don't think so. Many people were complaining about the admission, parking and food. There was a very good variety of caravans, campers and slideons but the camping side was quite limited. Many times information gathering and conversations were interrupted by a one man band, a town crier and Wild West cowboy and cowgirl. Among other 'clowns' this was a Caravan Show not a circus. The little lass selling ice creams had a beautiful well

Priced product but unfortunately was situated out of the way of the main show.   A number of comments were overheard by people wanting to find the 'gadgets' and camping accessories so popular at the events. They simply weren't there. Unless you are serious about buying a new caravan or camping vehicle you will probably be disappointed too.
