In the lead up to Christmas and New Year’s Day Daniel Ward was very busy delivering alcohol to numerous outlets in the Townsville area.
Daniel works for Lillywhite Group which owns the Riverview Tavern, Stuart Hotel, Bohle Barn and Bushland Beach Hotels in Townsville; the Sovereign Tavern in Charters Towers; and the Grand Hotel in Mareeba.
He also keeps Celebrations bottle shops supplied with beer, wine and spirits.
I saw Daniel and his offsiders Zac Madonald and Luke Waters beside their MR Isuzu ready to stock up a bottle shop at the Annandale Shopping Centre in Townsville.
“It is very hectic just before Christmas and New Year. We pick up the alcohol from our company depot at the Bohle and deliver it around,” Daniel said.
He added that the most popular brand of beer was Great Northern which he had many cartons of in the truck, ready for drop off.
They also get to travel 130km along the Flinders Highway to deliver to the Sovereign Hotel in Charters Towers.
But they never have to make the trip to the Atherton Tablelands to deliver to the Grand Hotel there, as it’s supplied from Cairns.
It was hot and humid the day I saw the lads and they were looking forward to having a break and enjoying a few amber fluids themselves.
