A major battle when displaying a large amount of gear is to create order. We achieved this by using bark to delineate the space and the fence wraps to create a backdrop. The contrasting bark enticed visitors into the air-conditioned marquee where they escaped the February heat & were given complimentary coffee & doughnuts.

The race car driver, Jim Richards, left his Porsche on the stand & the Australian Sand Scultpture Champion, Leo Vamvalis, was positioned near the front creating a masterpiece of Wacker Neuson machines breaking through a wall. This work in progress gave visitors a reason to return.

“Thanks for the sheer hard work you put in. The end result was everything we hoped it would be, and more. One small, technical drawback is that the bar has most definitely been raised on standard of presentation – a real Pandora’s box. The challenge ahead will be to continue to innovate and impress without it costing a bomb!”
