Didgeridoonas

Didgeridoonas was founded in 1995 by the husband & wife team of Leigh & Barbi Hemming. Longtime creators of high-quality wool outwear and bedding, Leigh & Barbi began exploring other applications for the many strengths of Australian Wool. Knowing that pure Australian wool is one of the greatest natural insulators, they asked themselves: If wool can be used to keep people warm, can it be used to keep things cold?

Starting with a concept, two sewing machines, and a casual seamstress, the Team combined the benefits of rugged, weatherproof Australian oilskin canvas, with the insulating power of pure Australian Wool, strong leather straps, and the toughest stitching they could find. They thought they were creating a cooler which would keep ice frozen longer. Instead, they discovered they had created a cooler that does not require ice.

In 2005, we brought Didgeridoonas to America, where the brand has grown a loyal following. When the Hemmings retired, they sold Didgeridoonas to David & Bronwyn Rodgers, another family business long rooted in crafting high-quality Australian oilskin products. From the Didgeridoonas family in Australia, through our family business, to families across America, we proudly introduce you to the Didgeridoonas collection.

  1. Aus Cooler Bag - 6 Bottle Divider (Front)

    Australian Cooler Bag - 6 Bottle Divider

    $30.00

    Developed with the help of wine distributor reps who name the Australian Cooler Bag and Cooler Bag w/ Pouch as their wine bag(s) of choice, the 6 Bottle Divider creates up to 6 insulated sleeves which isolate, insulate, and protect your precious cargo.

    The folding wing design allows you to shape your divider to accommodate whatever you may be carrying on any particular day. More than just a bottle divider, turn your divider on its side to separate the contents in the lower portion of the bag from those in the upper portion of the bag.

    Being removable, when not in use, you can take out the divider, or you can simply lay it on its side to add a little more insulation to the top or bottom of your bag. The 6 Bottle Divider makes a great addition to your Original Australian Cooler Bag, or your Cooler Bag w/ Pouch.
