“It means that all our hard work over the years has been justified, as we by no means did it the easy way. This has been such a good opportunity to showcase what brilliant workplace achievements we have had up here over the years, as Cape York Peninsula has largely been forgotten about over the years. We are very humbled and grateful to you for your consideration. I must admit, I am still trying to work out if we have really won it or, have I dreamt it.” – Trevor Meldrum, Environmental Operations Manager, Cape York Weeds and Feral Animals Incorporated
