Jordan Lockett is a musician and musical storyteller who lives in the small coastal village of Port Fairy. His creativity is fuelled by a rich local history and welcoming community in this breathtaking spot.

Sisters and self-described earth lovers Em and Kel Sommerville are the creative duo behind successful ethical clothing brand Terra the Label. Their designs are infused with the deep history and stunning landscape of Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park.
Growing up in this special part of Victoria has instilled a love of land in Em and Kel, and nurtured their adventurous spirits. We were really fortunate to grow up at the foot of the Grampians (Gariwerd), close to Mud-dadjug [Mt Abrupt], which we can see from our parents property, Kel says.
Much of the sisters inspiration for Terra comes from the Grampians (Gariwerd). Their print designs draw from colours in the local fauna and natural landscape. Most of our design ideas are birthed while were walking on one of our local trails. It gives us a clear mind to think and dream and really make decisions in a connected way. We feel most grounded while doing that, Kel says.
Its makers like Em & Kel that are ready to reignite that sense of adventure and connection that happens every time you travel. The Grampians is a thoroughly impressive place to visit, so its high time to plan a trip. Beauty in your backyard | Em & Kel, Terra the Label](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dB148I8j_Rs/mqdefault.jpg)
