The History of Wandillah: Tradition Meets Merino Wool

Meet the 'Wandillah Top' - Wandillah is where Tom, Sam and myself live - it is just out of Burra in the Mid North of SA.
The beautiful stone homestead was built by Edmund Bowman in 1845 - the man who built the iconic Martindale Hall. Wandillah has always had horses on it, I am often finding old horse shoes scattered around the property. I continue this tradition with my three horses Magic, Wolfie & Lord Aspen! Much to Tom & my father in law's dismay!!! 🐎

Wandillah is looking rather dry at the moment but in 'normal' seasons this is where we do our cropping program 🌾and finish off our sheep 🐑ready for market. Across the road we have some magnificent rolling hills that provide fabulous views. 

The Wandillah Top was named after Wandillah as it has many different aspects to the way you can wear it, much like the property it can produce🌾 crops, graze sheep 🐑 and of course is the home of my family and horses!!! This top can be worn with a high neck also and with or without the ties and for that added warmth you can layer it with the Murkaby Cami - much like our farming program - the Murkaby ewes are trucked down to Wandillah for shearing and finishing the lambs off! They work perfectly together! #irisandwool
