At the recent Snow Peak Way our large Ivory Land Station Shelter became the focus point for some of our fun workshops - including learning to make Cocktails and Mocktails.
A huge thank you to Robyn and Dale for a couple of very enjoyable hours learning how to make some delicious drinks and how to present them properly.
