Glitzy and Sexy - Sanctuary Cove Boat Show

by Sail_World on 18 Apr 2006
Sanctuary Cove SW
One of the most glitzy life-style villages in Australia will be home next month to the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show. In a resort that has long revered itself as the Ozzie version of 'Dallas', last year’s show was a stunning success. The visitors were able to promenade in the glamorous surroundings, the weather held, and the sales for the exhibitors were more than satisfactory.

This year a non-stop programme of events will again make the show a draw-card for roving boat enthusiasts.

Opening hours daily 9am to 5pm. Thursday, May 18 to Sunday, May 21.
Official opening Thursday, May 18 at 10am, Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove.
Official opening by Queensland Deputy Premier the Hon Anna Bligh MP.
