KRISTIAN COULTHARD - CO-FOUNDER

I’m passionate about sharing my culture with others because it helps to break down barriers. When we look into it, you’ll realise that we’re not that different.

 

 

 

 

Wadna

Starting as a hobby for Adnyamathanha man Kristian Coulthard and his wife, Gabby, Wadna is now a beloved home of Aboriginal art in the Flinders Ranges and Outback.

Seeing the March 2020 lockdown as an opportunity to make their dream a reality, Kristian and Gabby built their shop in Blinman and were ready to welcome motivated visitors once lockdowns lifted.

Watch our Tourism Trailblazers episode to discover how Wadna went from strength to strength.
