Yesterday I set off for the Caravan and Camping Show in Brisbane. I had been to a caravan show some time in the past, but didn't realise it was so popular! I went by train, which is the easiest and most economical way to go, especially as the train ride between the city and the showgrounds is FREE.
I sat beside a huge guy that had two friends sitting opposite. They were hilarious. Obviously good Aussie blokes with a typical sense of humour for country blokes. One was a pumpkin farmer. I was trying to read, but they had been in fits of laughter that I saw no sense in trying to continue and put my book away.
I was looking for ideas, information and perhaps some product for my proposed trip at the end of the year.
There was so much to see - and so much that I was not really interested in. Mind you, I did step into some amazing caravans, but my little Mitsubishi Lancer would not be able to pull anything like that. Saw one little van, which was a lottery prize and bought some tickets. Would the Lancer manage that?
I did make some purchases - a neat fold up table, which I will collect from a store at Capalaba next week (didn't fancy struggling on public transport with it!), and some neat graters which will make nice Christmas gifts, and some Mammino Icecream. I had the macadamia and ginger icecream, as I walked around the exhibits. Wonderful. It is worth going to their webside to learn about the wonderful macadamia nut! "Australia's only native plant to be cultivated as a food crop." It was very yummy!!!
Also I spoke with Michael Leyland, one of the famed Leyland Brothers who had a stand there promoting his many shows that he did on television all those years ago. Luckily his name was everywhere, otherwise I might have looked at his face and wondered if I had met him sometime in my life. No such thing, but watched his show so often, it is as if I knew him.
I was only walking around for a few hours, but soon, had had enough so headed home.
