Getting into the great outdoors

Explore the latest outdoor vehicles and equipment as the Geelong Outdoor Living and Caravan Expo returns to Geelong Showgrounds.

The annual event will return this weekend and run from 10am to 5pm on January 17 and 18 and from 10am to 4pm on January 19.

Expo manager Chris Ball said close to 140 of Australia’s leading caravan and camping companies will exhibit during the event, with many displaying their 2025 product ranges for the first time.

“There’ll be quite a broad and vast variety of offerings… There’s all sorts of bits and pieces going on, so it’s a really good way to spend the day,” he said.

“We have a cross-section of different areas here. We also have caravan trailers, camping accessories, four-wheel drives, and some outdoor living elements.

“Most of Australia’s leading brands are all here and we have a significant number of manufacturers, dealerships, and everything from your campers all the way through to your motorhomes.”

Mr Ball said the show would be a great way for people to get a start on their caravan and camping journey.

“It covers off a lot of what you need to get up and running and or, if you’re already caravaning, there’s all the accessories and everything you’ll need,” he said.

“I’m looking forward to having solid numbers through the gate, great sales with the exhibitors and everybody having a great time. It’s a fun day out.”
