Avalon Air Show Success 2023

👏🏻 What a night! A wonderful Defence Industry Networking event held in Melbourne.

Para Bellum Solutions' Principal Consultant and Veteran, Mark Nicholson, his team and our colleague Ned Laurie served up Mark's signature slow cooked Pulled Pork & Brisket Burgers out of his restored LAND ROVER 6x6 GMV and customised Texas Smoker Trailer. So many smiles, chats and burgers. With not a crumb left our bellies and souls were happy! 🍔

Special thanks to Mark for the hours of cooking and preparation that went into this event. It was also a treat to share complimentary Whiskey Tastings with the champions from Wet Canteen Bottling Company! 

Co-sponsors Para Bellum Solutions and Towers Group Pty Ltd thank everyone who came out in support.
