Karlu Karlu
This design is inspired by the first morning-light colours of Karlu Karlu (The Devils Marbles). Not far from the Stuart Highway, about an hour south of Tennant Creek, enormous, rounded boulders rest balanced in piles, like a giant’s discarded marbles. Karlu Karlu means ‘round boulders’ in the local Aboriginal languages and it is a significant sacred site.
Having spent a couple of days exploring the area with my family when my children were younger, Karlu Karlu is still a favourite place to visit on a trip ‘down the track’. Very early morning and last thing in the evening are the best times to view Karlu Karlu, when the light turns them a vibrant orange-red.

About our cushion covers
- Our cushion fabrics are designed by Boo at Susurrus Studio in Darwin River and printed in Australia. Boo uses a variety of techniques to design the fabrics including painting, drawing, lino prints and digital photography and drawing.
- Boo makes all the cushions in her studio and is registered with the Australian Made campaign.
- Cushions listed on this page are made from polyester upholstery fabric, making them super durable in most environments and very easy to wash.
- They come in a range of great designs with vibrant colours to match any decor.
- All cushions are double-sided. Some cushions have a variation of print (usually scale) on the other side - unless two different images are shown in the display above, both sides of the cushion will be identical.

Handmade with love
Every fabric used in our cushion covers is designed by Boo at Susurrus Studio in Darwin River, located an hour south of Darwin in the hot tropics of Australia. Boo draws much of her inspiration from her bush environment, especially the birds and flora of the Top End and across Australia.
The fabrics are printed with care in Sydney. When they arrive, Boo steps away from the design table and leans into the sewing machine to hand craft each item.
