Post by: rkl71 on October 04, 2016, 12:23:42 PM: Going with a mate on Thursday, I still enjoy a wander around looking (drooling at some things) at what is available. I also find some bits and pieces there that are hard to find in any one shop.

Post by: Merts on October 04, 2016, 01:15:45 PM: I was intending to go to compare a couple of different campers I was interested in, but then I came across a used one which was too good to pass up.

Now I've not so much reason to go to the Melbourne leisure fest, but I reckon I will get along to the one in Bendigo in November. I will probably need some cooking gear and maybe one or two other bits and pieces. It's usually good value just to have a sticky beak at what's available.

Depends on where in Melbourne you live, and you haven't helped us by including a suburb or area in your request or details in your forum id.
