Title: Wandin 4X4 Show Vic, anyone going?
Post by: GU Rich on February 14, 2011, 09:51:05 PM
The Wandin 4X4 show is on this coming Sunday. Is there any swaggers heading there for a look, I usually go every 2 years so I'll be there. I'm looking at getting there first thing with everyone else.

If you're going to Wandin in your 4x4 make sure you remove easily stolen items from your vehicle. There have been entire winches, winch ropes, lights, antennas all stolen at previous events.

I have been most years and have a good mate works both at the show with a stall and with the CFA in the carpark and he has never mentioend that before. I'm not saying it hasn't happened but that could happen anywhere.

Might head down for a look myself. Last time I went I ordered a CT, so might leave the chequebook at home this time!

We're the old grey Prado Getaway with skinny wheels and a Myswag sticker.

I got there early and had a good look around for over 3 hours with Blackstump and his wife. I met up with GXL4X4 (Chris) and popped in and said Gday to Mandrake (Steve). Thanks for the Stubby holder and LED Keyring.

I dropped in on the Trackabout boys, Great bit of gear there Johnny  ;D
We also crawled over the Camel Campers, very impressed with them.
I also said Gday up with XTCT, Sam from Xtrail Campers. It was good to check these out too. Nice trailer!
Then Myself and Blackstump proceeded to walk in and out ever camper in the place!! It's a goood chance to see what is out there. There are some great ideas coming out.

Then the rain swept through with some good carpark boogging action, but I'll let Blackstump fill you in on that!!

Great to see ya today Rich. Thanks Mandrake for the stubby holders and light..top stuff.
As Rich has said, had a good look around bought the bush cook book, called in and introduced ourselves to John at Camel. Nice set up mate, love the new canvas color and walkway. Had a poke around theTrackabout stand, more nice stuff there, and then the good lady wife saw the new Campomatic and took a shine to it. Nice bit of gear.
The best bit was watching everyone get bogged trying to get out. That made up for the 16 bux to get in. Cross country through a vacant paddock and over a flag fence saw us out of the turmoil.

Australia's longest running outdoor 4wd show, the Victorian 4WD Show,  run by the Land Rover Owners Club of Victoria, will be held at its new home of "Lardnuer Park", at  Lardner near Warragul in 2018.

The traditional date of the Show on the third Sunday in February, will be maintained, as it is being held on Sunday, February 18, 2018.

Lardner park is a dedicated event venue, so we can now offer a greater variety of site choices, including indoor sites.  Power is included with most sites.

Another of the venue's advantages is, that we will have the Adventure Circuit within walking distance from the rest of the show. As a 4wd Victoria affiliated club, yo can show off your 4wd's doing what they do best, but not be far away from all the other action, with lots of spectator viewing possibilities.

With greater display space,  we also plan to run a 4wd swap meet. Modern facilities has allowed us to provide online pre-purchased ticket sales for faster patron entry.
