THE HOSE DOWN SEPTEMBER 2025

The Monthly Wrap-Up


The Taipan team had a great time at Dowerin Field Days, catching up with familiar faces and meeting new ones, with the prize wheel proving a crowd favourite. Next stops: Henty and Yorke. In the footy tipping comp, some staff are flying high while others are fighting to stay in the game, with a few surprise leaders shaking up the leaderboard.

Gettin’ Down at Dowerin

They say West Coast is the best coast, and our experience at Dowerin Field Days proves it’s true. Thanks to everyone who swung by over the course of two awesome days. We loved meeting some new faces and saying hey to familiar ones. As always, our prize wheel was voted Undisputed People’s Champion for entertaining kids and grown-ups alike. Christine and Wayne, in particular, were big fans after walking away with a new Weber barbeque! 

Until next time, Dowerin! Henty and Yorke, we’ll catch you real soon! 

Footy Tipping Update

It’s been a hot second since we’ve updated you on our internal footy tipping comp, and now that we’ve reached the pointy end of the season, we figured you might be interested to know how some familiar faces are faring. 

Branch Manager Battle 

In the West Coast corner, Mitch from Perth is dominating, all but securing a podium finish in the AFL comp. Meanwhile, over here on the East Coast, Zeph is repping the Caboolture branch… slightly less successfully. He’ll be lucky to sneak into the Top Ten in our NRL comp. 

Customer Relations Clash 

After starting off strong in our NRL comp, Anthony, our Perth CRM, has fallen from grace spectacularly. There is a bright side: he’s smashing Joe, one of our Caboolture CRMs, who’s coming dead last. Unfortunately for them, they’re both being left in the dust by Maddie, our Caboolture Customer Relations Team Leader.  

Step right up! Spin the wheel and win big: either you’re cooking on a Weber, or you’re cooking in style with a Taipan hat!

Ant and Mal from Perth are kicking off Dowerin Field Day! It turns out that the only thing disappearing faster than the rain is their excuse to wear cool gumboots.
