The Veronicas - In My Blood

This was one of the songs I listened to when I was in Australia. Catchy. Pop-ish and The Veronicas are back!

To Creswick Woollen Mills We Go

Some of Creswick Woollen Mills’ luxurious products manufactured at the mill include Alpaca throws, blankets and accessories woven into sophisticated modern designs. Other natural fibre products designed by Creswick for optimum comfort include merino, cashmere, cotton and bamboo. Other innovative products produced at the Creswick Mills include the Personal Protection Blankets for The Country Fire Authority (CFA) Victoria and the Rural Fire Service (RFS) New South Wales.

The Creswick Woollen Mill has over 65 years of history to draw upon, and is now the only remaining Woollen Coloured Spinning Mill of its type left in Australia. It is the Mill’s high quality of its products that has allowed it to survive in this now dying Australian industry.

Creswick offers luxurious, high quality natural fibre products designed with Australian conditions in mind. Unique products created at the Mill include Alpaca blankets, throws, scarves and much more.

Visit the comprehensive knitwear store and see a great selection of natural-fibre fashion for men, women and children. With factory outlet prices, you can save up to 70% off recommended retail prices.

Conveniently located between Ballarat and Daylesford, the Mills is a perfect destination for daytrippers, holiday makers and tour groups, both large and small.

A typical visit to the Mills can include alpaca viewing deck, an information and history tour of the working machinery and a chance to have your photograph taken while feeding their friendly alpacas. Why not browse through the Ryzowy Gallery and take home an Australian made alpaca product made right here at the Mill.
