no need to pay to park, i've never paid for any show i've gone to. Park in Brookes St (there's about half a dozen parks between the cop shop and St Pauls tce) or even down in Prospect St. there used to be a few parks right outside the gate on St Pauls Tce near Exibition St, but i don't think you could park there on Saturday just Sunday. it's only a very short walk from Wickham St to the ground, have parked across from the Valley cop shop a few times and walked to the show from there rather then pay some exhorbinant amount to park a touch closer.

i have no interest in going, i'm over the whole 4wd show scene these days.

$18 entry plus maybe $12 parking plus fuel for the 4 hour round trip, so need to save $70 on any specials being offered just to break even.  Think I'll stay home  :D

Grizzly, can you put up a link for the exhibitors, I can't go into their web page much, not sure if it's because I'm on a tablet. Might try for Sunday. Ta

went to the show today found it disappointing not worth entry price $18 and the 2km walk for a carpark because rna parking was full I would hate to see what is going to be like tomorrow with parking! the highlight  of show the was seeing the boys from all 4 adventure. And the new building was good to walk around in with aircon! oh well bring on the caravan & camping show in june

We went in yesterday. Arrived about 9.30. There was plenty of parking. Didn't seem too crowded walking around.
Food prices were a disgrace!
Spoke to one of the very small stall holders, said it was costing him $2500 to be there.

Got a few good deals on tyre repair kit and rhino bars. Saw the same compressor at about 7 stands ranging in price from $139 to $254. They must think people don't walk around.

Checked out the roo systems cars, they lead very hard lives. One of the guys there was trying to get me interested in their Patrol that is coming up for sale. Wasn't happy when I have told him their cars have too hard a life and look beaten up ;D

All in all a good day out and worth the trip.
