Kelli Willmer, Iress Head of Commercial Office, is an avid camper who recently partnered with Hipcamp Australia, an online marketplace where you can list, discover, and book campsites and accommodations. Kelli has been using her Iress Long Weekends to enjoy different camping experiences with Hicamp Australia by staying on some beautiful properties across NSW. Most of the properties have no phone service so there are no distractions - just 3 whole days to unwind and relax. Kelli has strategically booked all her Long Weekends throughout the year to enjoy more camping trips.
