Brisbane Show

With a "blast" is one way to describe the start and finish of the Brisbane caravan and camping show in the heart of Brisbane, at the RNA showgrounds. With ten vans and two motorhomes set up for all to see the response was incredible. It is clear to see that weight and fuel economy is the prime thought in peoples minds at the moment. Honeycombes Caravans and Motorhomes in Townsville, Johnnos Camper trailers in Maryborough and Geist Direct teamed up to put on a fantastic crew to show the huge 80,000 plus crowd that arrived over the 7 days. We also had the continuous crowd puller, the Volkswagen Touareg and Viking kayak. In no time flat we had good sales coming out of the Brisbane show, in fact Australia wide over the last two weeks we have had record sales for Geist caravans and motorhomes. Mostly attributed to Geist Direct's online presence and of course the Brisbane show. Whilst at the show Tania Kernaghan was performing so I took Rachel's new books in from Rachael Treasure and had Tania sign them. It was great to meet Tania and have a quick chat on the quality of the books Rachael is putting out and my Rachel is thoroughly enjoying (reading the Stockmen at the moment). Also caught up with David and Judy Muller who own an XK 630. These people have a great new invention for packing your hoses away when travelling in your caravan. Go to www.thehosebag.com.au to see more on this great little invention. David and Judy gave me a ride to the show each day whilst the Volkswagen was on the stand. Also caught up with David and Di who are nearly at the point of buying a Geist. I first caught up with them in Melbourne and really enjoy there company.

Well all the big shows are over for the year and Brisbane and Sydney were the best shows for Geist. There are some regional ones in NSW but the next one you will see me at will be in August for the Mini Adelaide show over three days 1,2 & 3rd of August.
