We were situated at Warneet, Victoria, overlooking Rutherford Inlet, French, Quail & Chinaman's Islands on Westernport for 29 years. But suburbia caught up with us, well it started in ernest when the dirt road was sealed until we found that the village (of reclusives!) atmosphere that we moved to was disappearing. So now we have embarked on a tree change with 15 acres North of Benalla on the Broken Creek.

The business is run by Peter and Carole Lewis in a factory on our farm. I have been a qualified book binder since 1991. I was employed for 10 years in the trade before completing my adult apprenticeship and for the 5 years prior I was involved and continue in Saddlery, so have an intimate, working knowledge with various leathers.
