Are you ready for the 2019 Perth 4WD & Adventure Show? It's everything you need to get outdoors on your next adventure with 4WDs and accessories, caravans, and camper trailers plus camping and fishing gear all in one huge event. I'm going to be there for all 3 days so hopefully i'll see you there. 8-10 November at McCallum Park, Victoria Park , Perth.

Why ???? Unless you've got something to sell or want to buy something (price wise its cheaper online) , its a load of garbage imo . I've been to the Melbourne one twice and that was 2 days in my life I'll never get back .

I'd have to agree with @Bomber, I went to the Wauchope one and paid my $15 entry fee just to see people selling their products, could have gone to the shops/outlets/yards and saw the same products for free ! and like all venues the food is way overpriced.

G’day Bomber, yeah I don’t go there to buy stuff necessarily I go to meet the 4WD community (that is bloody awesome over here in WA.) It’s a good time to catch up with people I haven’t seen in awhile, have a chat and check out all the stage events. I don’t know if the Melbourne show is any different but I’ve always ended up meeting folks who have become my mates and we go wheeling together. I totally agree that it’s a bit of a marketing event (which is great for some people I guess) but for me it’s a great opportunity to meet with people who share the same passion for the outdoors as me.

I'm with @Bomber2012 and @2002GU3 - these shows are generally a waste of time. The few times I have been I haven't wound up buying anything as I could get it cheaper outside the show.
And useless in terms of trying to compare stuff - because you can't get to talk to anyone about a product as they're usually overwhelmed by a hundred other people trying to do the same thing.

I would go, to compare products, ask questions ...... yes I can buy from the net, get a cheaper hamburger at Ronalds, but, nothing compares to turning a product downside up and looking underneath it.:cool:

Here, there and everywhere mate, what time are you free? I’ll try to come and say g’day.

Not sure what time I’m free.

I think the test track is in a different spot to the Off road demonstrations

Just come for a test ride. Ask for Dave
I will be there most likely unless I can sneak away and look at the show.

Hoping to buy a itech 120 lithium battery

I'll be there too, Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately for some, I have to rabbit on for 45 minutes on the fourbie forum stage from 1130am on both days because I get around too much and have too much experience to share.....apparently. I cant say I'm looking forward to it.
