The Northern Territory will feature prominently in Adelaide’s biggest outdoor leisure event this weekend.

Eighteen NT tourism operators will showcase a plethora of adventures and experiences on offer.

The action will centre around ‘The Waterhole’, a traditional outback pub.

The NT delegation comprises accommodation providers, fishing tour operators, caravan park operators, safari tour operators, regional visitor information centres, crocodile and snake wildlife centres covering the entire Northern Territory. 

Operators will be able to help visitors plan their journey through the Territory by helicopter, floatplane, fixed wing plane, fishing charter, 4WD vehicle or hot air balloon.

The Club Marine SA Boat & Fishing Show and the Adelaide 4WD & Adventure Show 21-23 October, attracts approximately 17,500 outdoor enthusiasts.

A fishing lure casting competition, bush tucker tastings, gold panning demonstrations and of course The Waterhole pub will be big drawcards.

Visitors will be able to handle snakes, crocodiles and reptiles and look eye to eye with camels. Darwin singer-songwriter Joshua Tarca, performing as Ben Evolent, will have the chance to perform to interstate audiences after he won the inaugural Tourism NT sponsored Territory Song Award at the Music NT Awards earlier this year.

Minister for Tourism and Culture Lauren Moss said “Visitors can sample what we have to offer at the show, then hopefully come and do it for real in the Territory.

“We want to reinforce the message about the huge range of activities on offer that is shown in our new advertising campaign. Specifically, we want to highlight our great fishing – and attract more people to enter our Million Dollar Fish competition.

“We also want to showcase the type of activities and products on offer from our operators and wow visitors with the variety and quality of the food we have.

“It’s all about ‘stop guessing, start doing the NT’.”

The show will take place at the Adelaide Showgrounds from today, Friday 21 October to Sunday 23 October.
