OUTBACK TRAVEL FEATURE
T here's a saying: ‘Do what you love, and you'll never work another day in your life.’
This adage could certainly apply to Hema Maps’ National Retail Sales Manager, Justin Gill, who wears many hats within the small company. One that he wears proudly is that of a 4WD outback adventurer.
