This is a very special rug design, in collaboration with 'Cungelella Art'
"The title of this piece is kalkatungu country. We paint our traditional homelands heavily focusing on the landscape because it is very special to us, this country is where our father and our mother call home, we were raised here and its where we are raising our children also. I remember as a child always being surrounded by Aunties and uncles and now reliving fond memories of our numerous bush trips piled into the back of our 11 seater troop carrier, camped under the stars, eating bush tucker, and listening to family sing around the camp fire.
This country is very rough and rugged, the heat has twisted and folded back on itself and the ochres have been pushed up from the depths with gold and silver and many other minerals which gives us the most unique mineral belt in the world. The peach covered skies mixed with the blues pinks and purples, paints us the well known kalkadoon sunsets.
The harsh Spinifex that covers the hillsides, the ghost gums that flourish among the intense red dirt where our Kalkadoon Warriors quarried famous green stone axes that were traded from the gulf to Adelaide to the west coast and the Daintree forest.
On my mothers side of the family we have connections to sand-over river in central Australia NT where our great great grandmother Myrrdah was born. Our father who
is a strong kalkadoon man and being the first chairman of the kalkadoon nation lead the fight to win native title rights for the kalkadoon people. We draw inspiration from these connections and vivid memories in our lives which also allows us to use traditional shapes and symbols and an unrestricted palette to develop a modern contemporary interpretation of our traditional culture."

Spot clean when possible. Hand wash in cold, soapy water and hang to dry. Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softness. Avoid machine washing, but If its necessary use a delicate cycle. The rug may shrink 10% once washed, but will expand again after use. They soften with each wash like other throw blankets. The rugs are woven, so be careful when using around sharp objects (pointy rings, car keys etc) so you don't pull any threads. Some people use them on the ground to brighten up their room, however please don't vacuum the rugs.

introducing
Loved by thousands over the past 6 years, our 100% recycled throw rugs were the first of its kind. Back in 2018 we designed the first boho throw in Australia with nice earthy colours, and had the idea to use them at the beach and on more adventures, not just at home. Since then, they have become a staple item for every Roadtrip, with thousands of travellers using them daily. With over 40 unique design being made.
Use them to style your home, add a layer of warmth to your bed, for picnics, beach days, lap rugs and more
