Roland is the driving force behind Emu Parade, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to cleaning up Australia's beaches in exchange for free coffee.

Roly makes his coffee out of Trish, a retired fire engine that's been converted to run on used deep fryer oil instead of diesel, and she also recharges her batteries while she drives. Roly collects waste oil from restaurants, filters it in his garage, and then runs it through modifications to run Trish's fuel system.

Using hospitality to address pollution, powered by community and an abundant hospitality waste stream, Emu Parade stands as an extraordinary initiative that we are proud to get behind. As well as being a major sponsor, we've also equipped Trish with top-of-the-line machinery, including two La Marzocco GS3s, ensuring a steady stream of cafe-quality coffee at all times.

With 14 years of barista experience, Roly bears a capable set of hands and can cater for hundreds of people at a time. Roly won't be using any single-use packaging, so be sure to bring your own cup, or he has some spare Coffee Supreme ceramics on hand, too.
