BEHIND THE BRAND

We can all feel there is a “Bush Renaissance” happening right now - and it has been brewing for some time...

As our cities are becoming more challenging to live in and our daily lives are becoming increasingly chaotic more and more people are looking to the wide open spaces and simple ways to feel more connected to the heart of the Australian bush.

The Australian bush culture epitomises real authentic living. It takes us literally back to earth and makes us appreciate and experience raw beauty, tastes, culture and people.

Here, at The Bush Exchange - we will take you there. Through sharing inspiration f rom photographers, writers, brands and creatives in an artfully curated way you’ll be able to connect to the Australian bush like never before.

From Art, Food, Homes, Travel, Life and Style we’ll have something just for you.

Whether you’re f rom a remote cattle station or an inner-city terrace you’ll be surprised how many ways there are to connect to the Australian bush in everyday life.

BEGINNINGS

From little things big things grow

The seed for the Bush Exchange was sown in 2015 when our founder, Bridget Coulton, as a young first time Mum, started dreaming about how she could share her passion for the Australian bush in a way that could transcend the barriers between the city and the country. In early 2018, after several plays on brand names, The Bush Exchange was born and trademarked.

With the intention of becoming a lifestyle movement brand we set out to create an all-encompassing Website, Blog and Online Store. Whilst the last several years has seen Bridget focus primarily on raising her young family on the farm, she has used the time to build her brand vision and heart through sharing inspiration on Instagram whilst building relationships in the online community.

Bridget further hopes to use her communication and legal problem-solving skills via this platform to strengthen the bond between the city and the country through sharing stories, ideas and creativity inspired by an authentic bush lifestyle. Whilst initially focusing on building relationships with our Creators and Contributors we hope to eventually launch an Online Store to more deeply connect people with the Australian bush aesthetic.
