Australian Makers | MiniJumbuk
Located in the country town of Naracoorte in South Australia, MiniJumbuk first opened its doors in 1975. The inspiration for the business came when local sheep shearer, Don Wray, began carefully selecting and experimenting with the best wool varieties from local farms to create MiniJumbuk’s first quilt. Applying his unique understanding of wool’s incredible properties, Don succeeded in creating a design that was light, warm, comfortable and hard wearing.
Since that time, MiniJumbuk has grown to become a global leader in the design and manufacture of premium Australian Made wool bedding products, including quilts, pillows and mattress toppers. “We love the fact that we can put on an Australian Made logo that confirms all the hard work that we do here in Narracoorte,” said MiniJumbuk Managing Director, Darren Turner. MiniJumbuk’s local workforce individually handcrafts every product with care – which ensures their customers can enjoy a comfortable night’s rest on a locally crafted sleep system that will stand the test of time.

Exploring Australian approaches to producing cotton, timber and wool
This unit encourages students to investigate new and existing production practices used to produce cotton, timber and wool products. Students are given an insight into ways primary producers in the cotton or wool sectors and foresters in the wood sector produce; process and bring their products to consumers.
It includes sections on fibre production, what it is, what it comprises, what it affects, its potential impacts on living things in a variety of ecosystems, and who and what produces cotton, wood and wool products for people in Australian and overseas.
