Origin Goes Pear Shaped
Date: 29-Jun-2017
Unfortunately Queensland not only lost Game 1 on Wednesday night but we also had to relinquish the State of Origin Taste Test trophy to NSW. Delegates at the WIOA Queensland Workshop at the Gold Coast conducted a blind test of the samples from last year’s Orica Australia best Queensland water (Ayr, Burdekin Shire) and this year’s best NSW drop (Mid Coast Water). The result was close, with Queensland going down 42 votes to 35.
Disappointed qldwater A/CEO Dave Cameron said that the event had been good fun except for the last bit (and the football).
“The WIOA events are well run with excellent presentations and trade displays and for the last few years it’s been a great opportunity to raise the profile of the Directorate and get people behind initiatives like our skilling programs, the taste test and our qldwater On Tap campaign.
Unfortunately not all of our ideas go to plan and I am gutted to see the trophy going South – the rematch can’t come soon enough.
Thanks again to Burdekin for providing the sample and the 35 delegates who knew what they were doing,” Mr Cameron said.
