National 4x4, Off Road, Fishing and Outdoors Expo

The dust will be flying at the RNA Showgrounds on March 19 - 21, with organisers of the 2010 National 4x4 and Outdoors Expo today announcing an all-new lineup of Action Arena attractions at the leading towing, touring and camping event.

The track will double as a testing area with manufacturers providing test rides in their latest models and four wheel drive clubs conducting sessions to teach individuals the correct technique to use when negotiating some common obstacles confronted whilst on the road less travelled.

Mark Petersen from the National 4x4 and Outdoors Expo said it will be the first time that the Loveday Extreme 4x4 Show and 4wd TV All Terrain Challenge have been conducted in Brisbane.

"We've made some significant changes to the format for the Action Arena and this year it will provide four wheel drive enthusiasts the opportunity to see some of the products and services that are on display in the exhibition halls in action," Petersen said.

"We will be constructing a purpose built four wheel drive track at the showground which will feature a number of jumps, crossings and other obstacles. The track will be used for the Loveday Extreme 4x4 Show which was a major attraction at our Melbourne event with thousands flocking to see 4x4's of many shapes and sizes in action conducting crazy stunts.

"The 4wd TV All Terrain Challenge will see vehicles from all over Australia take to the purpose built course to see who can skillfully negotiate the track in the best time.

Petersen said that the show is shaping up to be the biggest yet with a bigger footprint of exhibition space then previous years indicating they will be offering an amazing array of show specials and discounts. Exhibitors at the show will showcase everything from four wheel drives and accessories, camper trailers, outdoor & adventure equipment, camp cooking, kayaks and more.

One of the attractions at the Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle Show will be the Sport Fishin' Simulator which will return in 2010 after proving to be extremely popular with fishing enthusiasts last year.

Jason Plant from the Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle Show said The Sport Fishin' Simulator provides anglers the chance to test their technique against the simulators advanced digital scoring system which caters for all levels using the different specifics of fish and casting environments.

"The Sport Fishin' Simulator caters for all fishing levels and will allow people to put into practice some of the tips they obtain whilst at the show," Plant said, "Not only can participants choose the type of fish they are trying to catch they can also choose the environment which they catch it in be it on the beach, riverbank or on the stern of a boat."
