Collette’s Amazing Race Adventure at Bimbadgen Estate

Collette’s Amazing Race: Team Bonding in the Heart of the Hunter Valley

Recently, we had the privilege of delivering a truly memorable team building event in the Hunter Valley for the dynamic team at Collette Travel. From the very beginning, the vibe was electric. With the sun beaming over the beautiful Bimbadgen Estate, and thirty-five excited participants ready to go, everything was in place for a high-energy afternoon of connection, competition and corporate fun.

Right from the starting horn, the race was on. Teams charged into our signature Corporate Amazing Race Hunter Valley challenge with full enthusiasm. The first task, our ever-popular barrel roll challenge, saw groups working together to guide barrels around a winding course. Laughter echoed through the rows of vines as strategies emerged, coordination was tested, and friendly rivalries kicked into gear.

As teams gained momentum, the journey led them deeper into the estate. There, nestled beneath the olive trees, the next round of challenges awaited. Participants tackled the running mat relay and the block stack, both designed to put communication, balance, and timing to the test. Each wobble brought a burst of laughter, while every win brought cheers and high-fives. Through every misstep and success, teams strengthened their bonds and sharpened their collaboration.

Then came the challenge everyone talks about, Pipelines! Set between the grapevines and fuelled by adrenaline, this task demanded teamwork at its finest. As each team carefully passed a ball through a series of halfpipes, the pressure mounted. One wrong move could send the ball tumbling, but clever teamwork kept things flowing. This was a true highlight of the day and a brilliant reminder of just how powerful cooperation can be under pressure.

By the time teams completed the final checkpoint, the transformation was clear. What began as a group of colleagues quickly became a network of stronger, more connected teammates. Laughter, shared challenges, and support in every task had brought them together in a way no ordinary day at the office ever could.

Above all, the event showcased the magic of team bonding in the Hunter Valley. The combination of unique challenges, outdoor adventure, and a stunning vineyard backdrop created the perfect environment for growth and connection. Moments of silliness blended with strategic problem-solving, creating a balance that engaged every type of personality.
