TOUGHEST BUGGERS IN THE BUSH 💪

The festival Main Event saw the return of crowd favourite the Tough Bu**er Competition, were our teams of 4 battled it out to take home the crown and title of Toughest Bu**ers in the Bush 2025 👑

It was a tight competition but only one team could win the glory - congrats to the BASO Constructions team Emily, Luke, Dalla, and Josh - your 2025 Toughest Bu**ers!
