Compare and Shop
Thousands of products will be on show from dozens of outdoor lifestyle brands and retailers, filling the halls of the Melbourne Showgrounds and adjacent outdoor precinct.
“Our event is a one-stop shop for everything outdoors, you could truly walk in with nothing and walk out with everything you would need for a lap of Australia,” said Event Director, Paul Mathers.
“The options and opportunities to maximise the enjoyment and experience of the outdoors are endless, so our event is the perfect way to see it all in one spot and compare.”
If you’re also looking to see a wide range of the latest caravans and camper trailers, this show is the place to do it, as a multitude of brands and models will be on show to suit a range of budgets.
Learn, Laugh…Eat!
More than just a shop, the National 4x4 Outdoors Show, Fishing & Boating Expo is also a great place to learn from experts in their respective fields.
The show will host special guests sharing stories, expertise and enthusiasm for everything to do with the outdoor lifestyle. Confirmed attendees include Mr 4x4 Pat Callinan who will talk all things action and adventure on the Waeco CFX Outback Stage. Colourful 4WD Action duo Shaun Whale and Graham Cahill will share behind-the-scenes tales from the making of their popular DVDs, while Jase Andrews from All 4 Adventure and Jamie & Alicia from the Offroad Adventure Show will also share stories. New attractions to the Waeco CFX Outback Stage this year will be off-roader and 4x4 aftermarket gear tester Barney Lewis and Matt Baker from Explore 4x4.
Cooking up a storm on the Catch & Cook stage will be a mix of bush tucker experts and fishing gurus, who will share recipes and offer fishing tips, with the chance to get a taste of their handiwork, too.
