Welcome to Ausemade… coming to you from the ‘heart of Australia’.
Our website is undergoing a complete revamp.
We are still writing about select tourism destinations, as well as covering topics that interest us such as Art and Culture, Festivals and Events. And for a more personal touch, we will be bringing our thoughts, our musings, our experiences… through articles and blog style ramblings…
As we are based in the heart of the continent, we will be bringing you much more content from Central Australia. Like the region’s local Western Bowerbirds, we will be bringing nuggets of treasures, places we have been to, things we have seen, and other items that catch our interest.
Don’t worry, we will be retaining some of our popular content, including many of the photos and images, fauna, flora and Aboriginal art and culture… all the things that make Australia home…
Take a stroll through our site, as we ‘showcase Australia’… See the places we have been, share our interest in flora and fauna, festivals and events we have experienced, and learn about ‘the living heart’…
Flora and fauna is close to our hearts at Ausemade… indeed what a poorer world we would live in if there was not the beautiful diversity. In Australia there is an amazing array of life from the smallest of insects to the huge whales that swim up and down our coastline. Even in our own backyards, we can be surprised and delighted by what grows and lives there.
New content include Parrtjima Festival, Waratah, Thorny Devil, Spinifex, Spinifex hopping mouse, Spinifex Pigeon, Rainbow Bee-eater, Kaputar Pink Slug and Kangaroo, Wallaroo, Euro, Wallaby.

I had Henry (who doesn’t name their car) fitted out with new Cooper tyres and boy did he stand out big time. With his new treads he performed marvellously, especially… - Backyard Wildlife
Memories of our dad… I am not sure when my interest in flora and fauna began, although I do have childhood memories of gardens with carnations, and cabbages and a neighbour who had a golden peasant. Whilst my memories of my childhood are few and scattered, with the advent of digital photography I have been… - Treasures of our Western Bowerbird
We at Ausemade are privileged to have enjoyed over the last eight years the presences in our backyard of the Western Bowerbirds and in particular the bower of a male Western Bowerbird. There underneath our magnificent olive tree, we witnessed a young male bird building and furnishing his bower, year after year. We actually first…
