I absolutely love Australian baby brands like bonds and there’s a specific high chair from k mart similar to the ikea version, but with a 5 point harness. Obviously would be willing to pay for shipping, products, and troubles. Also willing to offer products to be shipped that may be unavailable in Australia???
Hi All,
Want to give this local brand a shout out. They take old used rock climbing ropes and harness and recycle them into bags, belts, placemats, coasters, dog leashes and other custom made things.
We bought a bag and a belt as presents for 2 separate people - and both were delighted in them. Ended up buying belts for ourselves.
The owner is lovely. We did the belts and bag custom - as in we chose the colours/size/style and she helped us every step of they way, showing what colour ropes/harness/thread she had in stock and the different combinations they could go in. Highly recommend supporting this small business. Even think for present for Christmas ideas. Picture is from the internet.
OH! should mention the name of the business!!! Here it is:

Hi everyone. Bit of a random one, I really love the way the mr Winston ‘college’ crew neck jumpers fit as well as their overall feel.
Apart from being relatively expensive, I don’t exactly want to be plastered with the same brand all the time - as silly as that may sound.
The composition is 75% cotton 25% polyester. Quite heavy and plush. Have added some photos for reference.
Essentially I am just wondering if anyone knows where Mr Winston manufactures their jumpers or where I can find very similar jumpers? I’ve looked into Gildan but am struggling to find any images that truly depict what they look like.
Any help would be appreciated!
For those who have stopped shopping at Coles and Woolies completely, where else do you go for items outside of fresh produce/meat?
I am over supporting these companies that make huge amounts but are dumping Aussie jobs for India.
One thing I kept running into with money tools: they were good at showing what happened last month, but not at answering the next practical question—after the next payday, bills, savings and debt, what is actually safe to spend?
I’m building Harbourline around that question. It’s a visual payday planner for Australian households paid weekly or fortnightly:
Add income, bills, savings goals and debts.
Look ahead across the next 13 weeks.
Use the payday view to see what needs to be set aside and what needs attention.
I’m designing it to be ADHD-friendly in practice: fewer competing screens, a calm forward view, and one next decision at a time.
The Free Starter is now live: no payment card, local planning on one browser/device, and Excel/CSV/PDF/JSON exports. If the workflow proves useful, Household adds cloud sync, sharing and multi-device access at the current A$2.50/week introductory price.
I’m the builder, so this is self-promotion; sharing it transparently. I’d value feedback from other founders on the onboarding and activation path—where would you expect a first-time user to hesitate?
Recently wanting to expand my style a little and thought I might look up some aussie made options. All the brands im seeing being posted list shirts and pants at like $350-500 😵
Can anyone recommend something thats financially a bit easier to swallow? Flux clothing is basically the only one I could really justify the cost
Was just thinking, every post on BuyAussie should also be posted on ‘Australia’ and city groups (Melb/Syd/Perth etc) and even maybe ‘AussieFrugal’ (and any other you can think of) to capture a larger audience.
Many would not look here, but if they saw it, then maybe they would hope on the bag wagon? Just a thought. And if anyone that is more computer savvy is up for it, or when putting new info out there to also put it on the others.
What do you think?
