Hand-plaited kangaroo belts



Stockman have been sitting around the bush-fire hand-plaiting kangaroo leather leather belts and stockwhips for over 100 years. Badgery belts have been making them since the 1930's the same way , the Queenslander belt, being the tradtional style, using martingale rings is certainly the most popular....now adding to the range is a hand-plaited hat band....

AUSSIE SLANG



Aussie slang.....we all love to hate it, but where would we be without it.......stubbie holders, aprons and tea towls, as much a part of an Aussie BBQ as a gum tree is to the landscape.......these are just the thing to educate our overseas guests on Aussie culture, while they enjoy our hospitality.
