Had an awesome weekend away in Rotorua / Taupō for our End of Season trip. This is one of the big events we work hard for all year! Great to see the crew enjoying themselves and having some fun before the new season starts!

We started the day with some white water rafting at Rotorua Rafting before heading down to Taupō for the Wai/Bop Regional Young Farmers Ball!

Thanks for the great weekend guys!
