The Greater Sydney Caravan Camping Leisure Roadshow is coming to the Hawkesbury Showground !

A popular annual event originally started at Penrith Panthers before moving to the Penrith Showground . Due to work happening at the Penrith Showground , it successfully found it ’ s new home at the Hawkesbury Showground last year . The event will take place over three days on the 17th , 18th and 19th November from 9am - 4pm . If you are an outdoor enthusiast , then this is the opportunity to see all your favourite outdoor activities in the one place .

The caravan industry has boomed in recent years and continues to do so . The show will offer both indoor and outdoor displays and have all the latest in caravans , campers , 4x4 accessories and bicycles on display . It will give you

the opportunity to shop and compare a large range of camping and leisure equipment and then buy on the same day taking advantage of any factory backed manufacturers discounts , and some brands will be available for immediate delivery .

The expo will be a great family outing for all ages , and you can even bring your dog who is welcome on a leash .

The expo will be offering great entertainment over the three days with the Australian Traveling Fishing Show Super Tank , and the Reptile Show snake man , with a huge array of snakes and other reptiles , including a taipan .

The Snake Man will be educating spectators on different species of snakes and what to do if you need to administer first aid after a snake bite .

There will also be a range of food

trucks on site to keep your belly full . A spokesman for the show , Peter Rhodes , says , “ we ’ ve seen the increase in caravan ownership rise over the last couple of years , and as we speak , the caravan industry has never been more buoyant . This comes from a couple of factors .

The first is the change in the leisure dollar . It seems now that more people are looking at holidaying in Australia . People want to explore their own backyard , get out of the cities with their families , and see Australia .

Free camping is another strong reason people are turning to caravanning and camping , it affords more economical travel .

A lot of smaller towns are now being bypassed by travellers now because of new freeways and highways , and many

caravan parks are becoming extremely expensive , so in an effort to help both travellers and struggling towns many local councils are opening up local park land and sports grounds and , in some cases , even providing electricity and water for a small nominal fee for overnight stays .

Travellers then return the favour by spending in the local township bringing revenue to the town , this has become a boom to the caravanner because it cuts down on expensive overnight stays and gives you the opportunity to see different places you wouldn ’ t normally visit .”

The Caravan Camping Leisure Roadshow has something for everyone , of all ages , who love the outdoors .
