With their 14 children in tow, Richard and Catherine Whillas ventured into crafting their own oilskin cloth using local resources.
This durable material shielded them from Australia's harsh elements and served as a foundation for their venture.As the family's expertise in outerwear grew, "Kakadu Traders Australia" emerged as a brand synonymous with quality, comfort, and durability.
Today, under the continued guidance of the Whillas family, Kakadu Traders Australia supplies rugged, reliable products to a global audience, built with strong canvas, refined oils, waxes, and rugged cowhide for enduring performance.
