Besides checking out the latest trucking gear on show, 2025 Brisbane Truck Show attendees will also have the rare opportunity to meet an impressive list of sporting stars from the AFL, NRL, NBL and Supercars Championship over the course of the four-day event – including the chance to shoot some hoops with Australian Boomers and Brisbane Bullets captain Mitch Norton.
Norton, who represented the Boomers in the recent FIBA Asia Cup 2025 Qualifiers, will make an appearance at the all-new The Depot careers and entertainment hub taking place directly across the road from the main entrance to the Brisbane Truck Show, on the lawns of the TAFE Queensland South Bank campus.
From 10:30-11:30am on Thursday and Friday the experienced guard will join the action to chat with attendees and shoot some hoops at the Scania Dunk Trunk – a Scania P360 6×2 curtain-sider featuring a full-size ring and backboard that magically emerge from the back of the truck, over the top of an awesome Dream Courts set-up.
