THE ESSENCE OF THE SNOWY MOUNTAINS

Celebrating resilience, diversity, ingenuity and fragility of life in the Australian Alps, the wildflowers and trees that grow within the Australian Alpine region remind us that hope and beauty can be found in harsh and uncertain times. Bring the beauty of the Snowy Mountains Australia into your home with our signature collection - The Essence Of The Snowy Mountains.

Whilst many of the wildflowers in the region look delicate and fragile they have evolved to withstand dramatic downpours of rain, unpredictable frosts, gale-force winds, unforgivable blizzards, spring floods and summer droughts.

Not only are the Alpine trees and wildflowers beautiful to look at, their ability to cope and endure an unpredicted weather pattern is what makes them so alluring.

In summer, the delicate wildflowers grow amongst the carpet of snow grass. As the sun warms up the earth, the woody scents of snow gums, eucalyptus and black cypress gently releases and melds with the more floral scents of flax-lillys, mint-bush and the woolly tea-tree flower.

An energetic burst of birds, insects and animals eat, sip, dig, snap and buzz about their daily business in the all to short growing season before the harsh frosts and blizzards rollover.

With such dramatic conditions in the Australian Alpine region, many of the plant life only has a short matter of weeks to come into full bloom, meaning many people miss out on experiencing the colourful cinematic show of the wildflowers. The inspiration behind the Essence Of The Snowy Mountains Collection is to have an appreciation for the alpine botanicals all year long.
