Today the Bara Barang Team hosted a Community, Business and Industry Preview tour of our on country facility Raspberry Fields located within McPherson State Forest in Mangrove Mountain.

We were greeted with a beautiful winters morning and enjoyed a guided walk and talk led by our General Manager, Andrew Malloch with a visit from maliyan (Wedge Tailed Eagle)

A big thank you to the group of the 70 plus leaders of Community, Business and Industry for joining us for this exciting occasion.

A key takeaway was the palpable excitement for the activation for the facility and the opportunity to bring Culture and Business together for the benefit of the Central Coast Community.

We look forward to engaging further as activity ramps up at Raspberry Fields in the coming months.
