The Sanctuary Cove Boat Show wound up on the weekend after a huge 3 days that attracted nearly 50000 visitors through the gates coming from all parts of the world.

Reports have stated that $100 million in sales have been made with many more deals to be signed off in the coming weeks.

Boats of all sizes and forms where on display from local and international boat builders during the event.

Also on the weekend was the Blues on Broadbeach Festival which attracted a huge number of music fans to the popular area with free concerts from renowned artists. And I must also say a special thanks to the driver of the Gold Coast Council ute that tried to bowl me over in a fit of road rage, i'm glad my rates are spent on bull bars to enable crowd control!
