Live at 2024 Australian Sheep & Wool Show

This special A Friend of Mine episode is a live roving interview from the 2024 Australian Sheep and Wool Show - the largest show of its type in the world. For three days in July, Bendigo becomes the epicentre of woollen fashion, fine food and beautiful fibre. At times you will hear the sounds of our surroundings whether it's some of the 30,000 people in attendance, machinery or a PA system. I feel like these sounds make you feel like you’re standing right there with us having a quick catch up.

Meet our three special guests.

Anna from The Woolly Brand, produces a range of Woolmark-certified kids’ knitwear made from 100% Australian Merino wool. The range is designed to be smart, sustainable and durable enough to be handed down through the generations.

Donna from Adagio Mills swapped city living for acreage in Hawksbury NSW. The brand produces raw alpaca fibre to finished garment all in one place. 

Rebecca from Leroy Mac Designs has been attending the show for the past 13 years. The brand is dedicated to crafting the best Australian Merino garments with a focus on ethics and sustainability. 

So let me introduce you to some new friends of mine.
