The loyalty and camaraderie of producers and patrons to the Beef Australia event is well recognised, but what about the volunteers? There’s about 150 people that give up their time to assist attendees to find their forums, get on their tour bus or find the perfect place to get a bite to eat and they adore the event just as much as the ticketholders.

Alice Kelly and Don Bellert have volunteered since the first Beef in 1988 mainly to keep in touch with old bush friends and over 30 years later they are just as excited about the event and are counting down until Beef24.
