RV Friendlies & Events



Australia is built for the open road — and RV Friendlies is how we celebrate the towns and places that welcome you with open arms.


The RV Friendly Town™ program recognises councils that go the extra mile for RV travellers, with easy access, safe parking and welcoming facilities. RV Friendly Destinations™ do the same for specific sites within a community — perfect for towns still building their offering.


We also share events happening in these towns, so members can plan their next trip around a local market, festival or rally, not just a place to park.


Together, these programs connect our 60,000+ members with places that genuinely want them there. Because when a town says "RV Friendly," you know you're welcome.

QLD Westech Field Days
Westech Field Days

Date: 8-9/9/26

The Barcaldine Westech Field Day committee invites you to join us on 8-9 September 2026 to continue our tradition of providing an action packed two full days of covering the interest of all ages.

Since its inception in 1983 Westech has earned a solid reputation amongst exhibitors and visitors alike as one of the best of its type. Known by our return visitors and exhibitors as the friendly field days, its reputation for providing an extensive array of equipment, product and information specific to the grazing industry and remote area living is unquestioned by the increasing number of exhibitors and visitors to the event.

The exhibitors enjoy good exposure to a receptive audience and visitors are treated to a smorgasbord of relevant and useful technology and products.

The event is held every three years which contributes significantly to its success, allowing for advances in rural technology and to maintain on-going interest and participation from exhibitors and its growing audience.

We look forward to renewing old friendships and welcoming new exhibitors and visitors to this great part of Central Western Queensland and to experience our friendly relaxed country atmosphere at the Westech Field Days once again.
