Areas available include Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales and Queensland, encompassing areas such as Cape Byron, Whitsunday Isles, Cape York and Cape Howe.

Also on offer at Boat Books is the Magellan Triton Range of handheld GPS units, including the Triton 1500, which is being hailed as the world’s first touch screen handheld GPS.

Boat Books has a complete range of nautical books, charts, navigation equipment, gifts, navigation software and DVDs at Show, including a special Boat Show price of $119.95 for the Cruising the NSW Coast and Cruising the Coral Coast book set.

Other special Boat Show attractions include boat license training and testing sessions conducted by the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard at 10.30am and 3pm daily, with additional sessions on Friday July 4 and Saturday July 5 at 6:30pm.
