1 X 1 HR |  2013 | PRODUCED FOR NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC

How has this happened? We’ll look at the culture, the processes, the innovation and the community that make Bundaberg Rum unique.

It’s more than a mega factory, it’s an Aussie icon, and is now one of the top tourist attractions in Queensland. And, like the lives of the people who live there, it’s a story of ingenuity, grit and determination.
