Last Christmas, we published an article about how you could help Queenslanders in the bush while doing your Christmas shopping. Sadly, a year on, the drought has worsened and Outback Aussies need our help more than ever. Whether you are doing your Christmas shopping, buying for a new baby or a birthday, or picking up a gift just because, why not consider buying from a retailer in the West? Here are seven more bush businesses to support this year…

The Linen Cupboard is a gorgeous clothing and homewares store on Railway Street in Dirranbandi. The owner, Karena, also runs an online store for anyone who can’t make it out to South West Queensland.
Moble Liberty
Moble Liberty stocks a beautiful range of handmade scarves, hankies, bibs, bags and scrunchies, all sewn on the owner’s property in Quilpie. If you are looking for a relaxing Outback escape, you can even stay on their property, Moble Homestead.
