The Didgeridoonas® Story

Didgeridoonas® began in 1995, with just two sewing machines, the two of us, and a casual seamstress. After initially directing our business towards the retailing and manufacture of clothing, we were inspired by woolgrower friends in Western Queensland to design products that utilised the numerous strengths of Australian wool.

Our successful bedding range was the initial focus of our new direction. Yet our thoughts soon turned to other products that could benefit from the use of wool. There is no better natural insulating material than pure Australian wool. And soon our faith in wool was vindicated when our signature product, The Australian Cooler Bag, was created.

Our products are designed to last a lifetime. By using the very best materials such as pure Australian wool, a durable oilskin fabric, strong leather handles and the toughest stitching we could find, we’ve created an extensive range of products which we are truly proud of. Indeed we have received various awards for them, including the Reed Australian Gift Award in 2001, 2003 and also in 2004.
