THE HOSE DOWN FEBRUARY 2026

The Monthly Wrap-Up


Christmas may feel like ancient history, but you won’t want to miss our recap. Plus, we’re opening our Taipan footy tipping pools to customers!

Christmas Recap

We admit that Christmas feels like forever ago, but there’s still so much we haven’t caught you up on! 

Lleyton, our Branch Supervisor over in Perth, took out our Christmas dress up competition. Much debate has raged over exactly what he dressed as, but there’s one thing we all agree on: he deserved the win. That hat was too magnificent to overlook. 

Not to be outdone, Claudia, our P&C Assistant at Head Office, won our Where’s Wally comp, guessing a whopping 74% of our team correctly! There were claims that she was at an unfair advantage given it’s literally her job to know everything about everyone, so to avoid further controversy we’ve disqualified her from all team competitions moving forward. It’s for the best, Clauds. 

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones and enjoyed some well-earned time off! 

Lleyton takes the win in our national Christmas dress-up competition!

Get Ready for Taipan Tipping! 

Footy heads, rejoice! The AFL and NRL seasons are just around the corner. We had fun with our internal comps last year, but this year we’re opening up the pools to any of our customers who may be interested in some top-shelf banter, friendly rivalry, and, if you’re good enough, maybe even bragging rights. 

We’ll be following up with an email closer to the beginning of the season with details on how to enter, so if you’re keen, keep an eye on your inbox! 

Not sure if you’re on the mailing list?

The team down in Adelaide finish up for the year with good ol’ BBQ. No reports of food poisoning from Matt’s cooking, so that’s a win!
