Wongaling Beach hosted the second Homemakers Swap on Sunday 30th August, and despite strong winds and intermittent drizzle, locals turned up in impressive numbers.  

The swap was created as a way for locals to connect and showcase home-grown skills, following a simple format: each participant brings five handmade items and leaves  with five different creations

This month’s tables were packed with baked goods and pantry stables - cookies, butter, kombucha and flavoured syrups - alongside plants, dried spices and candles.
