Australian Made week that celebrates Australian makers & manufacturers. We are proud to be Australian Made since the beginning! In 1993 Kerrie helped start a local woolgrower group, Matilda Merino, which grew out of woolgrowers frustration with the low prices of wool and the effects of drought in the early 1990’s. Members wanted to know what happened to their wool once it left the farm gate and what it was actually used for. Kerrie initiated a number of projects including following wool through the value adding chain to the end product and also promoting Australian Merino wool locally.

Owners of Merino Country, Kerrie and Mal

Merino Country started on the family Sheep Station, "Clareborough" in Western Queensland value adding to the family Merino enterprise. We are very proud that our Merino wool is Australian Grown - the best in the world; our fabrics are knitted and dyed in Australia and all our garments are made in-house in our own factory in Brisbane – our customers are welcome to come and visit us and meet our team who make their clothing.

Clareborough Station, 1993

As an Australian owned, family business,  when everyone else was going off shore years ago, we made the conscious decision to keep our production and manufacturing in Australia. 

With our fabric and garments made locally we work closely with Australian woolgrowers, processors and manufacturers and have input into the specifications of not only the raw wool, but also yarn types, fabric construction, design and manufacturing of garments. Natural underwear and clothing that is good for you, our animals and our planet... Naturally!

Merino Country is a licensed user of the Australian Made trademark and Ethical Clothing with all fabric processed in Australia and garments manufactured in Queensland, supporting local jobs, families, communities and industry. It means we’re flexible with quick turn around and just in time production meaning we don’t have to wait on products from overseas and can deliver a quality product quickly to large organisations or individual customers.
