TWENTY YEARS OUTBACK AND STILL GOING STRONG. The Prairie Hotel, located half way between Adelaide and


the Simpson Desert is owned by Ross Fargher, who said during recent filming at the property, “I replaced the roof with


COLORBOND steel well over twenty years ago and the place still looks great.” We’d have to agree! It’s stories like this that


bring a smile to our research and innovation teams. They’ve been conducting real-world outdoor exposure testing and


accelerated laboratory testing to COLORBOND steel for almost fi fty years. Indeed, as part of the assessment program,


there are over 12,000 panels on exposure across Australia, ranging from moderate to very severe marine environments, and


from tropical to industrial locations. This ongoing research, combined with our own scientists continually innovating in areas


such as metallic coating and paint technology, all help to ensure that COLORBOND steel is as strong as it is beautiful!
