Day 8: At the Brisbane Caravan Show


Wotta big event! 
The Brisbane Caravan Show
 The show was enormous by our Tasmanian standards. Hundreds and hundreds of exhibitors, some of whom had everything on display including the garden shed. (I didn’t actually see a garden shed, but then we didn’t see more than a third of everything) We looked at some of the spiffy UK/European design caravans and marvelled at how they could put so much  into a caravan and still come up 600-800 kg less than local designed and built caravans.

We didn't bother with this: too much to see!

We bought a shower tent, a cable tidy for the power cable, and a drying rack for the kitchen. More importantly, we came away with a hundred great ideas to make our caravan life easier, more pleasant, etc.
At nephew Hans’ suggestion we drove the car to a suburb called Eight Mile Plains from where we took an express bus into the city and a train from Roma Street station to the showgrounds. This worked out very well.
In the evening we had dinner with Hans and Alyssa and their children, Hannah and Caleb. It was really nice to catch up with them.
