If you’re going to be in or near Sydney next weekend and love all things related to the outdoor lifestyle — including 4WDing, camping and caravanning — you must check out the epic National 4x4 Outdoors Show held at Sydney Showground (Grand Parade, Sydney Olympic Park). 

Held over three days (Friday 14 June–Sunday 16 June 2024), there will be a massive range of the latest products on display from the industry’s leading outdoor adventure and lifestyle brands. There will be countless opportunities to explore offroad camper trailers, caravans and tents, new model 4WDs and aftermarket accessories, camping gear and so much more. They’ll also be plenty of activities for both adults and kids so the whole family can enjoy a day out. 

This is one of the biggest shows of its kind and one we love returning to each year. And this year is particularly special for us as our Hema Tours partner Adrenalin Offroad Centre has a coveted spot on the Outback Stage. Keep reading for more information on this daily presentation, plus details on where to find the Hema stand and what new products you can expect to see.
