Broome In Bloom! Laja Season 💐

Broome is totally in BLOOM at the moment in Laja Season. As we drive around town we can see the flamboyant explosion of life happening before our eyes. Gubinge are flowering madly, trees have lost their leaves giving way to bright new lime green foliage, mangos are almost ripe, poincianas in bright orange look like flames as they bloom, and cassias in their beautiful golden flower. The heat pushes this life force through to everything we see. It's an amazing spectacle! We have nature so on our doorstep here in the tropical Kimberley.

Most visitors have left town now after the peak of the dry has passed. Now there are car spaces galore and the delicious wet season heat builds. Lots of pool time, gatherings under the shade of the tall town beach rain trees (Samanea saman) as the hot breezes blow. 🌳

🥭️ What is Laja Season? 🥭️

Laja is a season of Yawuru - it's the hot time from late September to November

The Yawuru people, are the Traditional Owners of Roebuck Bay. For thousands of years our ancestors lived along the foreshores of Roebuck Bay, across the pindan plains, as far inland as the Walan-garr, the Edgar Ranges, and along the fringes of the Great Sandy Desert. Our country is land and sea, moulded by the cycle of seasonal change. We live by six seasons, reading the changing signs and temperature, to know when and where we should go to harvest the riches of our country.

Building up to the wet, winds strengthen from westerly to north-westerly. It is a good time for collecting and eating girrbaju (bush honey). Birndany (stingray), reef fish and shellfish are fat. Girlibil (turtles) are mating and nganarr (dugong) are calving. Towards the end of Laja, people would build manggaja (paperbark shelters) in readiness for the coming of the rains.

🌿Who are we?

We’re a small, family-run business with a big heart, nestled in the peaceful, rural surrounds of beautiful Broome. Everything we create is inspired by the natural beauty of Broome and the Kimberley, handcrafted with care and a deep respect for community and country.

🌿What's Our Purpose?

Our purpose is to spread love and positivity through our products, the way we live, the connections we make along the way and how we give back to the place that gives us so much. This business is a true celebration of the land we’re lucky to call home — from the red earth and golden light to the spirit of the people and the place. Our hearts lead the way and we trust that abundance flows.

🌿How are your products made?

Every bar, balm, and bottle is made by hand in very small batches, using pure, natural ingredients infused with spirit and loving intention. We’re conscious consumers too, which means we only create what we’d be proud to use ourselves. Each ingredient is carefully chosen for its purity, purpose, and proven benefit — sourced from trusted suppliers and blended with over 30 years of knowledge and experience. Our formulations are simple, honest, and clean, with minimal preservatives (and often zero preservatives) and only the highest-quality natural ingredients. You can trust that every product has been thoughtfully crafted, tried, and loved — by us, long before it reaches you. We hope to not just nourish your skin, but to help restore balance, radiance, and a sense of calm from within.

We love sharing a touch of Kimberley magic with you.
