THE HOSE DOWN AUGUST 2025

The Monthly Wrap-Up
Team Taipan smashed Coastrek, raising funds for Beyond Blue with a personal best time on the 50km trek. Highlights from the first half of 2025 include our Testing Facility move, Head Office branching out, and big Field Day events across the country.


Crushin’ Coastrek
Last month, Team Taipan laced up their walking shoes and tackled Coastrek’s 50km course for the fourth year. This year, Coastrek partnered with Beyond Blue to raise funds for their vital 24/7 Support Service.
Now experts in blister prevention and 4am alarms, our Coastrek team smashed the trek from Noosa to Mooloolaba in a personal best time of just over 9 hours!
See you next year, Coastrek! We might have something special cooking for our fifth anniversary.
Mid-Year Rewind
With the first half of the year well and truly in the rearview mirror, we thought we’d recap our three biggest moments of 2025… so far.
- Our Testing Facility moved up the road
Just like a child leaving home for the first time, our R&D team didn’t go far, and they still pop in from time to time (usually when they want something). Most importantly, our product testing capabilities are going from strength to strength.
- Head Office and Caboolture Branch amicably separated
Best divorce ever! At this stage the key difference is that Head Office has its own phone number, but the potential for further growth is super exciting.
- Field Days for days
We’ve been to Tassie for AgFest and Toowoomba for FarmFest, and both times we’ve had a blast. This month we’re off to Perth for Dowerin, and the only thing we’re hopeful for is slightly warmer weather. Turn it on for us, WA!
You’re up next, Dowerin! See you from August 27-28.

Amy and Allan Sandilands, 20km into their staggering 50km walk for Coastrek, 2025!

Can’t take these two anywhere without some kind of silly goose behaviour. At least they’re having a good time to compensate for the blisters!
