Qld couple win $100,000 show prize

A Redbank Plains, Queensland couple are planning their next big trip after scooping the $100,000-plus major competition prize at the 50th Queensland Caravan, Camping and Touring Supershow held in June.

Scott and Carla Farr were the lucky winners of the biggest dollar prize ever given away at an Australian caravan show: a unique 50th anniversary Cub Camper Escape hard-floor camper and Volkswagen V6 Amarok.

Keen campers, the couple went to the Supershow only looking to purchase a basic 12V camper shower.

“We enjoyed the Supershow but until we got the call to say we’d won, we thought all we’d left with that day was a shower and some information leaflets,” Scott said.

“We already do a bit of camping, mostly in the bush out west around Stanthorpe and Rathdowney but now thanks to this prize win we’re going to be able to explore a bit further afield.

“It’s great timing because our son recently bought a 4WD so we’ll be able to take the Amarok and go camping together, or even let him borrow the Cub camper.”
