Day 2 ✔️
Early start hitting the road to Rocky, with our first stop at Teys for an incredible behind-the-scenes tour of their processing facility from start to finish 👏🏼

Always grateful for the opportunity to learn from industry leaders.

Quick reset with a chill at the park and a few retail ids before kicking off our first day of conference; ice breakers, a motivating interactive workshop, and plenty of team energy.

Wrapped up the day settling into our accommodation and topping it off with the best slow-smoked Brahman hump for dinner 🤌🏼🥩

Hit the road and made our way up to Bundaberg, finishing off the day with a great team dinner at the pub 🍻

All set and ready for Day 2!!
