Dear Honourable Members,
We are delighted to extend to you an exclusive invitation to the first Parliamentary Friends of Caravanning Event, a celebration of the spirit of exploration and innovation which is the Australian caravanning and camping industry.
Event Details:
Date: Wednesday, 20 March 2024
Time: 5.00pm to 8pm
Location: Dame Dorothy Tangney Alcove, Parliament House
The evening promises an exciting showcase of what Australian’s quintessential industry is all about, bringing together great food, entertainment, inquisitive spirit and a strong sense of community – the hallmark of an evening happy hour around the campsite.
We acknowledge there are many within the Parliament who enjoy caravanning and camping – but the Australian caravanning and camping industry is much more than a recreational activity. From the $27+ billion dollars it contributes to the Australian economy, to the jobs it supports, the manufacturing and export excellence it generates, the affordable housing it provides, through to the memories and educational opportunities it creates.
The caravanning and camping industry is much more than you may first think.
To complement the cocktail event, from 1pm onwards, in front of Parliament lawns will transform into a showcase arena, displaying some of Australia’s most innovative and high-end locally manufactured recreational vehicles. This will be a unique opportunity for you to get up close and personal with the best of Australia’s vehicle offering, highlighting cutting-edge technology that sets our recreational vehicles apart on the global RV stage, and which is at the forefront of international design of RV manufacturing and global transition into a low emissions environment.
The Parliamentary Friends of Caravanning Event is more than just a gathering; it is a testament to the vibrant community spirit and the pioneering advancements in the Australian caravanning sector. It offers a moment to celebrate the contributions of this industry to our national economy and lifestyle, contributing to the health and wellbeing of the consumers who use our industry product and the communities they touch.
We warmly invite you to join us for this celebration, to connect with fellow advocates of the great Australian outdoors, and to explore the latest in caravanning excellence. Your presence would be greatly valued as we come together and share knowledge and friendship – qualities which underpin this great Australian recreational industry.
Please RSVP by Wednesday 13 March 2024 to confirm your attendance. We look forward to welcoming you to an evening of cuisine, innovation, and caravanning.
Warm regards,
Senator Helen Polley and Hon Scott Buchholz MP
