Every day on the road is a fresh adventure, with its own distinctive story waiting to be told. What makes this journey special are the people, like Cargo Crew, who play a vital role in supporting the small business ecosystem along the way.

Just a short drive from Neighbourhood Wine in Cargo Crew’s Vito is the inspiring team at The Beautiful Bunch, not-for-profit florists who specialise in working with young women from refugee backgrounds.

Their bouquets are made by participants in their training program, helping them showcase their creativity while setting them up for success in future workplaces. The Beautiful Bunch wears Cargo Crew’s customised ‘Beautiful’ Bomber jackets, so they can look as polished as their posies.

Down to the Bellarine Peninsula is where we round off the journey at Bellarine Distillery, whose award-winning gins and whiskeys are admired across Victoria. Sporting custom Cargo Crew ‘Banjo’ shirts, the team looks (almost) as good as their drink offerings.

Other than hosting ‘The Whiskery’, its distillery door, the farmland property supplies botanicals used to create an impressive line-up of unique gins.
