Medium Coolamon

A Cultural Tool for Gathering and Giving

The medium Coolamon holds deep cultural significance. Traditionally, Aboriginal women used Coolamons to collect bush foods, carry firewood, and grind seeds into flour. With its perfectly balanced size, the medium Coolamon offered versatility. It was light enough to carry on long walks and wide enough to hold important items needed for family life.

Practical and Powerful

This medium-sized Coolamon mirrors the form and function of traditional tools. Women often carried them on their heads, using soft fur or woven fibre as padding. This careful method showed the connection between utility and comfort. Whether gathering fruit or holding meat from a fresh hunt, the medium Coolamon was an everyday companion.

Crafted with Purpose

Each Coolamon is handcrafted from the sturdy Rosewood tree. At Yarbun Creations, our family walks Country to find the perfect natural bends in trees. After collecting the right timber, we shape, smooth, and polish it with care. The unique wood grain tells a story of strength, endurance, and growth.

Honour the Tradition

Bringing a Coolamon into your home connects you with ancient practices. Use it as a meaningful centrepiece, a ceremonial object, or a practical tray. With every curve, the Coolamon reflects the nurturing strength of Aboriginal women. It is more than wood—it is a vessel of culture.

Please Note:
Each Coolamon is individually handcrafted and shaped by nature. As a result, no two pieces are ever the same. The colour, grain, and final shape will vary—making your Coolamon completely unique.
