First random patrol

Second random patrol

What do Dandenong South clients say about Bluestone?
Two Dandenong South clients on what changed after their patrols and gatehouse cover started.
Our yard used to get hit every few weeks. Since the patrols started we have not lost a pallet, and the reports land before we open.
