Sanctury Cove 2011, the largest boatshow in OZ could be the last one!

Heard from a grapevine that this year's show could have been the very last one as sales and attendance figures have dropped through the floor!
Last year was bad but this years stats are woofull apperantly!
Who to believe as different reports are filtering in
One Riviera (50ft) sold to a WA person.
Bad times for the people that make their living from floating movable objects of passion it seems.

Less than half the boats on
Less than half the boats on display and attendance down to only a quarter of last year. And last year was down as well..
New laws are in action to stop imports but may be too late for many..
