The annual event celebrates our region’s boating heritage with a display of vintage wooden ski boats and vintage and classic cars.
It was a hot and sunny day with the cars and boats gleaming in the sun.
Winner of the Best V8 category was ‘Miss Lyndy’, and winner of the Best 6 Cylinder went to ‘Touchwood’ whose owners both took home $200 cash.
One of the many standouts of the boat show was Noel Palmer’s 1971 model, the ‘Conquistador’.
Noel has owned this boat for 52 years and still loves taking it out on the water.
Following the show and shine activities, the celebrations continued at Tattersalls Hotel.
The evening catered for the whole family with an undercover playground for children and live music from Rick Gauci Music.
Event organisers thank the community and their event sponsors for their support of the Boat Show and look forward to doing it again next year.
