Yellow Ochre 300g

Yellow Ochre – Light of the Land

Tradition, Healing, and Creation in Every Grain

Yellow ochre shines with warmth, strength, and sacred connection. Aboriginal people have used this powerful earth pigment for thousands of years. It represents the sun, spiritual protection, and the life-giving force of Country.

Carefully Collected on Ghungalu Country

We gather our yellow ochre respectfully by walking Country with care and intention. Our family chooses ochre sites that feel right. We never take more than needed. Each collection honours the land, the ancestors, and the cultural knowledge passed through generations.

Deeply Rooted in Ceremony and Identity

Aboriginal communities use yellow ochre during ceremony, song, and dance. It decorates faces, arms, and bodies with meaning. The soft golden colour symbolises energy, guidance, and renewal. When applied, it helps prepare for spiritual connection and grounding.

Healing Through Traditional Bush Medicine

Yellow ochre also plays a role in bush healing. Many Aboriginal people mix it with oils or animal fats. This creates a natural skin balm used to protect or soothe. On Country, it offers a remedy made with wisdom, not chemicals.

A Key Ingredient in Cultural Art and Design

Artists use yellow ochre to paint stories, Dreaming tracks, and sacred symbols. It adds light and contrast to artworks. We also use it to colour natural soaps, coolamons, clapsticks, and ceremonial items. Every item holds cultural purpose and ancestral presence.

Please Note: Each batch of ochre varies slightly depending on the earth and region it is sourced from. These variations are natural and honour the uniqueness of Country.
