"The Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle Show and National 4x4 and Outdoors Expo together make the largest show of its kind in Queensland," Plant said, "The event caters for all levels of boaties with the latest tinnies, alloy plate boats, recreational fishing gear and outdoors products on display." "Since first collocating with the National 4x4 and Outdoors Expo six years ago, the event has gone from strength to strength and last year 31, 644 people attended the show. "This year will see the return of some of the successful aspects of the Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle Show including the Bream Fishing Tournament and the Kids Fishing Clinic which will both be improved to cater for larger audiences." National 4x4 and Outdoors Expo Event Manager, Mark Petersen said the off-road component of the event will also have a number of improvements including the Off-Road Action Arena which will feature some new attractions. "We've been working hard to find some new attractions for the Off-Road Arena and will be making an announcement in the New Year about an all new 4x4 Show which will be making its debut at the Brisbane event," Petersen said. "This year we have also expanded the footprint taken up by the four wheel drive aspect of the event and as a result there will be an additional 1,500 square metres dedicated to exhibitors who will be showcasing the latest developments in the off-road market. "A number of the exhibitors who have signed up for the event have already indicated that they will be offering some massive discounts at the show so it will definitely be worth coming to the show if you are in the market for a new 4x4, accessories or camping equipment." Individuals will receive entry into both the Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle Show and National 4x4 and Outdoors Expo for the cost of one ticket with adults $12 and children under 15 free. |
