In its second trip to Melbourne Showgrounds, the 2016 Victorian Caravan, Camping & Touring Supershow was a spectacular success.

Over six days, more than 50,000 people were inspired to ‘Go Make Some Memories’ as they saw the best that this industry has to offer.

Visitors also enjoyed informative seminars from a range of expert speakers, great live entertainment and cooking demonstrations on the What’s Up Downunder centre stage and exciting attractions like the D-MAX Iron Summit, Yamaha Supertank and the Tourism NT Watering Hole.

The Go Make Some Memories Passport to Freedom competition was as popular as ever, with C.Christmas of Bright taking home the major prize: the Franklin 1970 Series caravan valued at over $35,000.

“Congratulations to all of our prize winners and especially to Mrs. Christmas on winning a brand new caravan! We hope it brings you years of happy memories with your family,” said Rob Lucas, CEO of the Caravan Industry Association Victoria.

The show organiser, the Caravan Industry Association Victoria, was also pleased to welcome the Victorian Minister for Tourism & Major Events, the Hon John Eren, to open the show and discuss the importance and growth of the caravan industry in the state of Victoria.
