Bush Crafts and Vanishing Trades

Graeme Brumley ~ Whip Maker

The well known Caramut Whip Maker and Leather Worker will be plying his craft at the festival. Graeme has spent his working life shearing and farming, and much of this time working with horses in one way or another. In the early days leather work and other bush crafts were a necessity to keep harness and equipment in good condition, but over the years these bush skills have developed into a rewarding hobby. Graeme’s reputation for quality of workmanship is well known throughout the district.
