Did you catch us on Sunrise this morning? Paul Burt from Step Outside took viewers on a special behind-the-scenes tour of the Show before the gates opened.

Visitors enjoyed a huge lineup of entertainment and expert demonstrations today, including cooking with Paul Burt from Step Outside, Maritime Safety Queensland safety sessions, more crowd-favourite prawn peeling competitions, and Garmin Live Scoping presentations on the Anaconda Main Stage.
Next door at the Berkley Supertank, Cookie's live fishing show kept crowds entertained throughout the day, while plenty of action unfolded across the Marina with Island Gypsy Boats selling their impressive 480 model, a modern classic 15 metre motor vessel, alongside The Yacht Sales Co, who successfully sold their long-range cruising FP44 catamaran.
