‘Tis the season
With the first big boat show of the year set to kick off at the end of the month, the unofficial ‘show season’ is just about upon us.
Over the next few months it’s possible to buy a luxury cruiser at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (May 24-27), hitch up a caravan or campertrailer at the Queensland Caravan, Camping and Holiday Touring Show (June 6 – 12) or pick a tinnie at the Brisbane Boat Show (August 23 – 26).
There are a couple of things I love about these big shows – for newcomers it’s a good opportunity to get a glimpse into the boating, fishing and caravanning lifestyle that so many of us enjoy.
I don’t know about you but our events calendar is filling up quick! We’ve booked our flights to the Weipa Fishing Classic (June 8-10), the Hervey Bay Seafood festival (August 12) and later in the year you’ll catch us at the Lake Moondarra Fishing Comp (October 26-28).
That’s all the big stuff covered, but let us know if there are any smaller events you think we might be interested in. Let us know the ‘who, what, why, where and when’ and we’ll put it straight up on our website. And because we’re such good blokes it won’t cost you a cent.
Either click on the events bar on the homepage or drop us an email on creektocoast@tpdmedia.com.au.
Who says you can’t get something for nothing these days?!
And don't forget our trusty Facebook page for all your behind the scenes info!

But a recent Maritime Safety Queensland Investigation revealed that this could be potentially disastrous, particularly for children, if there’s not enough ventilation. Carbon monoxide is an odourless, tasteless gas that can cause headaches, nausea, fatigue and slowed reaction times. Prolonged exposure can cause brain damage or even lead to fat...
