Our Beginnings

In 2017 we started something small that unexpectedly grew into something amazing.

We had no idea that when we started that we would touch so many people, that we would start conversations about what it meant to be a community, and that we would make a little pocket of our town feel alive again.

But let’s back up. Urunga, if you don’t know it, is a sleepy Australian coastal town – the type that is almost forgotten now as similar places rush to build McMansions. Urunga feels like the place where time slows down. It’s not a pretentious place – it’s a good place for families, and retirees. It sits at the mouth of a gorgeous river and it feels like a place on the outskirts.

The locals call it a tourist town. On a Saturday night you could throw a rock down the main street and you wouldn’t hit anyone… but you might hit a bunny. (In the carpark behind the main street, which is only 4 blocks long, live several tiny wild bunnies, that once upon a time used to be pets.)
