Camping and caravan expo on again

If you’re planning to hit the road for a getaway, there’s no better place to start than Caravanning Queensland’s Let’s Go Sunshine Coast Caravan & Outdoor Expo from Friday 19 August to Sunday 21 August at the Nambour Showgrounds.

Following a hiatus in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid, one of the Sunshine Coast’s largest caravan, camping and outdoor events will return with more than 80 exhibitors showcasing an enormous range of caravans, camper trailers, motorhomes, campervans, gadgets and accessories for your next big road trip or weekend getaway.

Sunshine Coast Council Division 10 Councillor David Law said caravanning was a terrific way to explore the region and venture further afield.

“So I encourage everyone to get along to the Nambour Showgrounds from August 19 to August 21 to get some ideas and inspiration for your next holiday – whether it’s within our wonderful region, another part of Queensland or interstate,“ he said.

Caravan Trade and Industries Association of Queensland chief executive officer Jason Plant said the Sunshine Coast had become one of Australia’s top destinations for caravan and camping visitors over recent years.

“In addition to this, caravan sales within the Sunshine Coast region have doubled over the last 12 months,” Mr Plant said.

The Let’s Go Sunshine Coast Caravan & Outdoor Expo is a family-friendly event that will include free activities like sheep dog trials, face painting and campfire cooking demonstrations with a side of bush poetry and ballads from Ranger Nick.

The popular weight and towing masterclasses will be back again, providing travellers with vital information and tips from industry experts to ensure everyone hits the road on their next adventure safely and with confidence.

Tickets: adults $14, concession $12, accompanied children free. For tickets or more information, visit caravanqld.com.au/events/sunshine-coast-caravan-and-outdoor-expo/
