One of the most spectacular elements of the Fleurieu Coast is the proximity of its rolling hills and forested highlands to beaches, reefs and towering rocky cliffs. A few kilometres down the road from Yarnauwi is Second Valley, and beyond that Rapid Bay, both renowned dive locations and in Second Valley’s case, periodically voted as one of the “best beaches” in South Australia and Australia. This new lino print is a tribute to some of the many fish that make their homes among the caves and kelp forests of this region.

Each fish was individually carved and is hand-printed in acid-free, fade-resistant dye ink on Canson cartridge paper. The finished print includes a list of all of the fish depicted hand-written in pencil. The prints are now available online at our Etsy shop.

The "Bardi Gras" is ON! With a few good days of rain after a long dry summer, bardi grubs have surfaced emerging from their underground pupal cases as giant rain moths. #rain #bardi #grub #moth #rainmoth #bardigras #autumn #fleurieucoastmadebynature #fleurieucoast #fleurieupeninsula #farm #yarnauwi #seasons
Prototyping a new camp stool concept for our sheepskins, raised, grazed, butchered and tanned on the Fleurieu. Scroll across for the finished product, via pattern making and a test run in denim, the tripod base in Eucalyptus obliqua, then the final product, timber oiled, hardware tested, sheep hide in position. Perfect for warming by a winter campfire! #prototype #camp #stool #sheepskin #hide #pattern #stringybark #fleurieucoast #fleurieupeninsula #madebynature #fleurieucoastmadebynature #leather #fur #craft #handmade #farm #sheep #handmade #timber #leathercraft
Inspired by an idea in Maryanne Moodie's "On the Loom" book, we whittled some suitable forked sticks at Kuitpo forest to use as the loom for some experimental mini weavings, such fun! #naturalweaving #Kuitpo #naturecraft #whittling #kidscraft
Today's inspiring library haul, including: 'Grass, soil, hope', exploring land regeneration and tackling climate change through increasing soil carbon; 'Call of the reed warbler', looking at regenerative grazing and holistic management in Australia; 'The permaculture market garden' for its awesome illustrations and farm planning processes and 'Homecamp' for artfully styled outdoorsy excitement. Dewey numbers are included for your book requesting convenience. Much to ponder here for the next steps at Yarnauwi and beyond! #farm #bookstagram #dewey #deweynumber #onecardtorulethemall #permaculture #books #librarybooks #agriculture @home_camp @zachloeks @quiviracoalition @jcourtneywhite @adelaidecitylibraries #holisticmanagement #holisticgrazing #carbonfarming
Most of the farm is pretty dry now, but last winter we planted an embankment with Atriplex semibaccata and it's still growing, oblivious to the heat and dry. It's also covered in clouds of these tiny butterflies, a little island of habitat in the middle of a paddock! #yarnauwi #butterfly #saltbush #atriplex #revegetation #habitat #farm #fleurieucoast #fleurieupeninsula #madebynature
A morning spent at a Family Crabbing workshop with @natureplaysa and PIRSA Fishwatch inevitably leads to pre-dawn Sunday craft! Caught and released maybe eight blue swimmers, made and kept two cardboard crawlers. #crab #blueswimmercrab #natureplay #crafts #making
Second Valley market stall in progress, with first two sales made!
Yarnauwi will have our first stall at the Second Valley Market this coming Saturday 10am-3pm in the Soldiers Memorial Institute! Items for sale include these two new embroidered artworks (Ross the Tractor and The Topography of Second Valley), linocut art prints of local scenes, sheepskins from our sheep tanned by Southern Tanners, and our first 5 years commemorative publication. Head along if you're willing to brave the heat - a swim at Second Valley beach is thoroughly recommended post-market! #yarnauwi #fleurieucoast #madebynature #fleurieupeninsula #secondvalley #fish #embroidery #linocut #tractor @fleurieucoast @fleurieucoastmadebynature
Even though the baking heat of summer can feel like a time of dormancy, there's still plenty growing and preparations for the next tree planting season. Here we've got some dashboard seed collecting from the reveg area, amazing summer growth on a stone pine, a windbreak growing enthusiastically and a muntrie growing as a productive groundcover (donated by @laurafranceswills) amongst some of our fruit trees. #summer #trees #farm #revegetation #seed #pinuspinea #yarnauwi #muntries #fleurieucoast #fleurieupeninsula
