💙 12 SLEEPS UNTIL FATHER’S DAY — AND SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL IS HAPPENING ON THE TABLELANDS 🎶

One of the things we absolutely love about living and doing business on the Atherton Tablelands is the extraordinary people who choose to call our region home.

People who have travelled the world, built incredible careers, raised families and accumulated a lifetime of knowledge and experience — and then you discover they’re living just down the road, contributing to the same community we all call home.

One of those people is the wonderful Don Winsor.

Don and his beautiful family have been wonderful customers and supporters of Winter & Mann, and we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know them over the years.

What many people may not realise is just how extraordinary Don’s international career has been.

An American-born actor and baritone, Don has performed internationally across musical theatre, symphony concerts, television, film and concert work. His stage career includes more than 300 performances as The Beast in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, along with major roles in Les Misérables, Chicago, Mamma Mia!, Chess and Jesus Christ Superstar. In Australia, he was principal cover for Henry Higgins in the Julie Andrews-directed 60th-anniversary production of My Fair Lady.

And now we have someone with that depth of talent and experience living and contributing right here on the Atherton Tablelands. How fortunate are we?

On a personal note, Stu has recently had a few singing lessons with Don. He simply wanted some guidance to reconnect with a talent and passion he has always had, and Don has been incredibly generous with his knowledge and encouragement. It has been wonderful to see Stu rediscovering something he genuinely loves.

And there couldn’t be a better opportunity to hear Don perform than Father’s Day weekend.

🎶 ATHERTON PERFORMING ARTS PRESENTS
DON WINSOR’S FATHER’S DAY CONCERT

📍 Silo Road Theatre, Atherton
🎵 Saturday 5 September — 7:30pm
🎵 Father’s Day, Sunday 6 September — 2:30pm

Featuring Helen Snelling, Linda Mott and Louise Anderson-Clemence, with accompanists Sean Bennett and Danielle Cahill.

Tickets: Adults $35 | Concessions $30 | Children $15

It’s a special fundraising concert supporting Atherton Performing Arts and such a wonderful opportunity to experience this calibre of talent right here in our own backyard.

And with only 12 sleeps until Father’s Day, things are certainly happening at Winter & Mann too!

Deliveries are rolling through the doors as we replenish favourites and bring together plenty of thoughtful options for Dad.

🧼 Waterfall Soapworks — Tolga
Fresh handmade soaps have arrived, including Beer, Aventus Creed Beer, Ginger Beer, Liquorice Allsort and Lynx Africa.

🌿 Wild Vanilla — Atherton Tablelands
Locally grown vanilla beans, beautiful vanilla extracts, sugar-free and alcohol-free options, pure vanilla powder and more have been replenished.

🫖 Daintree Tea
Another beautiful delivery has landed with plenty of options for the tea-loving Dad.

🧄 Cypress Ridge Caramelised Garlic Balsamic
Four boxes have just arrived — and this one sells fast!

A gorgeous combination of caramelised white balsamic and home-grown garlic. Beautiful for salads and cooking and, as Cypress Ridge says, “Wow for the taste buds!”

We actually started stocking this after one of our wonderful local customers came in and told us it was one of his favourite discoveries from his travels. We listened, tracked it down and brought it into Winter & Mann — and it has become a firm favourite that we now make sure we keep replenished.

And that is only the beginning. We have so much more for Dad throughout the store — gourmet food, men’s fashion, locally made products, books, art and thoughtful gifts.

So perhaps this Father’s Day, make a day — or even a weekend — of it.

Come up the hill, find Dad something special, have breakfast or lunch at one of our wonderful local cafés, explore our independent businesses, enjoy dinner somewhere beautiful and head along to see Don and this wonderful group of performers.

It really does remind us how much we have right here.

Extraordinary people. Talented producers and makers. Artists. Independent businesses. Wonderful events. Families choosing to live, work and build their lives here.

That is our Tablelands community — and it is something very special. 💙

🌿 WILD VANILLA | FROM THE RAINFOREST CANOPY TO OUR SHELVES

One of the things we love most at Winter & Mann is being able to share the incredible produce grown right here in our own region.

Wild Vanilla has just been freshly restocked, grown at Malanda on the beautiful Atherton Tablelands.

There is something quite extraordinary about seeing these vanilla vines growing under the natural canopy of the rainforest — winding their way through the lush tropical environment where they are carefully tended and the delicate vanilla flowers are hand-pollinated.

From flower to bean and finally to the beautiful finished products, it is a wonderful example of the time, skill and care behind locally grown produce.

Freshly arrived in store:

🌿 Long Vanilla Bean Twin Packs
🌿 Pure Vanilla Powder
🌿 Vanilla Extract
🌿 Sugar-Free Vanilla Extract
🌿 Alcohol-Free Vanilla Extract

We absolutely love knowing the story behind what sits on our shelves — knowing where it is grown, the people behind it and being able to share that story with our customers and visitors.

Grown in Malanda. Made in North Queensland. Available in Yungaburra.

Another beautiful taste of The Best of North Queensland & Beyond.

A heartfelt thank you from Winter & Mann 🌿

What an absolutely beautiful weekend in Yungaburra — sunshine, our wonderful Yungaburra Markets, the Book Fair, gallery openings and community events bringing our gorgeous village to life.

We’ve welcomed locals, visitors from across Australia and travellers from overseas — enjoying a meal at one of our beautiful cafés or restaurants, wandering through the markets, visiting our galleries and independently owned stores, and simply soaking up everything that makes our little part of North Queensland so special.

And personally, we have been incredibly touched by the number of local customers and members of our community who have popped into Winter & Mann over the past week to congratulate us on our recent Cairns Business Women’s Club — Small Business Owner of the Year Award. Your kind words, messages and genuine support have meant more than you know.

We’ve also loved hearing your beautiful comments about the store, our flowering hanging baskets and the collection we continue to build inside.

At Winter & Mann — The Best of North Queensland & Beyond, everything is carefully curated. From beautiful garments, art and jewellery to exceptional gourmet produce from our own region, across North Queensland and further afield in Australia, we choose pieces with provenance, quality and a story behind them.

Our aim has always been to offer more than simply a shop — we want every visit to feel like a complete boutique retail experience, delivered with genuine care.

One of our strongest values since opening has also been consistency. We are proudly open seven days a week, with reliable trading hours, a fully stocked store and a team ready to give you the very best experience we can. We want our community and visitors to know they can depend on us.

Awards are incredibly special, but the greatest recognition is seeing our local customers continue to walk through our doors, recommend us to others and support what we are building.

Thank you, Yungaburra and the wider Tablelands community. We are incredibly grateful to be part of this beautiful region. 🌿

With love,
Anna, Stuart & the Winter & Mann team

🍫 WHY FNQ CHOCOLATE IS SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL

What a fabulous write-up in the Cairns Post celebrating Far North Queensland cacao and chocolate — and congratulations to Chris and the Charley’s Chocolate team for helping shine a light on this incredible little industry growing right here in our backyard.

What fascinated me most was the research behind the story.

University of Queensland researchers have been studying cacao grown at Fishery Falls, Mount Edna and Shannonvale, and what they are discovering gives us another reason to be incredibly proud of our region.

It isn’t only about the cacao tree itself.

The natural environment and fermentation process play an enormous role in developing the flavour and quality of the cacao. The naturally occurring microorganisms surrounding the beans help drive fermentation and contribute to the individual flavour characteristics that eventually come through in the chocolate.

Researchers identified around 90 different volatile compounds, with our cacao capable of producing everything from beautiful traditional chocolate and roasted characteristics through to buttery and tropical notes.

That is extraordinary.

And perhaps my favourite part of the research is the recognition that Australian chocolate doesn’t need to compete with mass-produced chocolate.

Our opportunity is premium chocolate — distinctive chocolate with provenance, place and a story behind it.

That sums up everything I love about working with our North Queensland growers and makers.

We have this extraordinary agricultural region around us, and the more I learn about what our farmers grow and how they turn it into beautiful finished products, the prouder I become.

With Charley’s, that journey is quite literally TREE TO BAR.

Growing the cacao.
Harvesting the pods.
Fermenting the beans.
Developing those incredible flavours.
Making the chocolate.

And all here in Far North Queensland.

That connection between farmer, environment, maker and finished product is something we should be shouting from the rooftops.

We are enormously proud at Winter & Mann to have so much North Queensland chocolate sitting on our shelves and, even more importantly, to know the people and stories behind it.

Congratulations Chris, Charley’s and our entire FNQ chocolate-growing and chocolate-making community.

Our backyard really is extraordinary. 🌿🍫❤️

A LITTLE TASTE OF NORTH QUEENSLAND 🍯🥭🍫

Peak season is in full swing in beautiful Yungaburra, and we’re busy keeping the Winter & Mann pantry filled with the flavours and local favourites you love.

🍯 Our beautiful local Tablelands honey is back — one of our most-loved products and something visitors regularly take home as a genuine taste of our region.

🥭 Fruitessence freeze-dried mango, made right here in Yungaburra from locally grown mangoes, has also been freshly topped up. Pure tropical goodness with that incredible concentrated mango flavour.

🍫 And for the chocolate lovers, our North Queensland artisan chocolate is rather hard to resist. Beautiful rich dark chocolate paired with ginger or coconut — simple, sophisticated flavours that celebrate tropical ingredients and make a gorgeous little indulgence or gift.

🍪 Our baskets are also full again with Andibel’s handmade Italian-style biscuits — lemon almond, crunchy wine biscuits and fig & nut. Beautiful with coffee or tea, perfect for a hamper… or simply something special for your own pantry.

Then there’s locally grown coffee, teas, preserves, condiments, native flavours and an ever-changing collection of small-batch goodness.

What makes it special for us is knowing so many of the growers, makers and small businesses behind the products on our shelves. There is a story, a person and often a little piece of North Queensland behind what you take home.

If you’re exploring the Atherton Tablelands, come and wander through beautiful Yungaburra and discover a delicious taste of our region.

YOU ASKED FOR GOLD… AND WE LISTENED ✨

We are incredibly excited to introduce a new Australian jewellery designer to Winter & Mann.

Welcome, Alana Douvros Jewellery.

When we curate Winter & Mann, it is never simply about finding more. It is about finding something that adds another layer to what we already love — another maker, another story and another reason to discover The Best of North Queensland & Beyond.

We are incredibly proud of the relationships we have built with our existing jewellery designers, including the beautiful work of Hirani and Liz Galley. Their distinctive sterling silver, pearls and individual designs remain an important part of our jewellery story.

But we have also been listening.

Again and again, customers have asked us:

“Do you have anything in gold?”

So rather than simply finding gold jewellery, we went searching for an Australian designer whose work, values and craftsmanship would sit beautifully alongside the makers we already represent.

And we found Alana Douvros.

Alana is an Australian jewellery designer currently living and working in Sydney, Australia, where she designs and handcrafts her jewellery.

She studied her craft at California College of the Arts, completing a BFA in Ceramics alongside a focus on Jewellery Metal Arts.

Her inspiration begins with the earth itself — raw gemstones, natural pearls, seashells, coral, fossils and beautiful organic forms.

Much of Alana’s lapidary work — the art of cutting and polishing stone — is undertaken by Alana herself, maintaining that wonderful connection between the artist and the material.

Her jewellery is handcrafted using natural gemstones and recycled precious metals, with a philosophy grounded in thoughtful production, individuality, sustainability and an appreciation for materials in their natural state.

For Winter & Mann, we have deliberately curated Alana’s beautiful 14k gold-filled collection, introducing the warmth of gold our customers have been asking for while complementing the wonderful jewellery already represented in store.

Our first collection includes:

✨ Natural Mabe pearl earrings, with the pearls remaining in situ in mother-of-pearl
✨ Real limpet shell earrings
✨ Sculptural mushroom coral earrings
✨ Raw aquamarine studs
✨ Natural muscovite studs
✨ Raw turquoise necklaces
✨ Luminous white freshwater pearl necklaces

Because these are natural materials, their variations aren’t imperfections — they are part of their story. Each stone, pearl and shell carries its own shape, markings, texture and character.

And that is exactly what drew us to Alana’s work.

For us, this is what Winter & Mann — The Best of North Queensland & Beyond is all about.

We celebrate the extraordinary makers of our own region while continuing to search beyond North Queensland for Australian designers and artisans whose work complements them and brings something genuinely special to our little store in Yungaburra.

Hirani. Liz Galley. And now, Alana Douvros.

Different artists. Different materials. Different stories.

Together, they create a beautifully considered collection of Australian jewellery — and now, at last, a touch of gold. ✨

Alana Douvros Jewellery has arrived and is now in store at Winter & Mann, Yungaburra.

We cannot wait for you to see it.

With heartfelt thanks,
Anna, Stuart & the Winter & Mann team

A little sneak peek of something beautiful arriving later this week… 🦋

We are delighted to be welcoming another beautiful collection from Jillian Zamora of ZaMama Pottery to Winter & Mann.

Jillian’s work has such a distinctive, earthy quality — beautifully handcrafted, organic and tactile, with every piece carrying its own individual character. Inspired by earth, water, air and fire, her ceramics feel grounded and wonderfully connected to the natural environment of Far North Queensland.

What we especially love is that these are pieces made to be used, loved and enjoyed — a favourite cup for your morning tea or coffee, a beautiful bowl for something nourishing, or a special piece that simply brings a little beauty to an everyday moment.

These photographs are just a sneak peek of Jillian’s newest collection, arriving a little later this week. We feel very fortunate to showcase the work of such a talented local ceramic artist and can’t wait to share it with you.

If you’re visiting Yungaburra this week, make a day of it — enjoy one of our beautiful cafés or restaurants, wander through our unique village stores and perhaps visit the magnificent Curtain Fig Tree while you’re here. 🌿

What a beautiful Saturday we’ve had at Winter & Mann.

One of the things we love most is watching our customers come into the store, try something on and discover a garment that simply fits, feels beautiful and works for real life.

Today, the Goondiwindi Cotton 5 Pocket Jean was certainly getting plenty of love — and for very good reason.

I can personally say it is one of the most comfortable jeans I have ever worn. Made from 98% cotton with just 2% spandex, it has that soft, breathable feel with just the right amount of stretch, allowing you to move comfortably while maintaining a classic, flattering straight-leg shape.

Wear them with Birkenstocks (and don’t forget, right here in Yungaburra we have Marie’s fabulous Birkenstock and Crocs store just around the corner!) and a tee, a beautiful shirt and sneakers, or add a knit and boots. Dress them up or keep them relaxed — they really are an incredibly versatile, year-round jean.

We carry a wonderful selection of colours, with the gorgeous Chocolate now part of the collection, and sizing from 8–20.

Australian Owned. Family Owned.

With Goondiwindi Cotton, it starts with touch — breathable, natural comfort you can feel before you even put it on.

Based in Goondiwindi, Queensland, this family-owned and locally operated Australian label has built its reputation around quality fabrics, comfort and timeless, wearable design. These are pieces designed to be worn and enjoyed — not just for one season, but as hardworking favourites in your wardrobe.

That is also why we believe so strongly in the experience of shopping in a brick-and-mortar store.

At Winter & Mann, we love styling both women and men.

We can help you find the right size, fit and pieces for your lifestyle — whether you’re looking for relaxed everyday dressing, something for a special occasion, or putting together a wardrobe for travel to a cooler or warmer climate.

It’s about being able to touch the fabric, try the garment on, move in it and find what genuinely feels right for you.

And there is plenty happening in store. More new-season Goondiwindi Cotton and Hammock & Vine is arriving, and we’re making room for what’s to come.

You’ll find two sale racks at the back of the store, with selected pieces from 20% to 60% off — and there are some fabulous finds amongst them.

And while you’re here, make a day of Yungaburra. Marie’s is just one of the many unique independent businesses that make our village such a wonderful place to explore. Wander our stores, stop for something delicious at one of our cafés, discover something you weren’t expecting and enjoy a day in our beautiful part of the Atherton Tablelands.

Supporting one local business helps support a whole community, and we are incredibly proud to be part of ours.

Come in, take your time, try things on and let us help you put something beautiful together.

Good evening everyone 🦋

If you’re tucked up at home tonight enjoying a favourite Friday night movie, perhaps it’s time to start thinking about a little weekend escape.

Beautiful Yungaburra and the Atherton Tablelands are only a short drive up the Gillies Range, yet arriving here can feel like stepping into another world.

Stay for the day or make a weekend of it. Discover our beautiful accommodation, cafés and independent stores, cruise Lake Barrine, explore our lakes, waterfalls and rainforest, and take the time to experience this remarkable part of North Queensland.

And while you’re here, we would love to welcome you to Winter & Mann — The Best of North Queensland & Beyond.

Our story begins in our own backyard.

Winter & Mann has become a place where we bring together the people, produce and stories of our region.

Our shelves are filled with carefully selected small-batch gourmet food, including locally grown tea and coffee, artisan chocolate, condiments, freeze-dried tropical fruits, macadamias and so much more.

Alongside them you’ll discover the work of local artists, authors, makers and growers, Australian fashion and beautiful pieces chosen for their quality, craftsmanship and story.

When we cannot source something exceptional locally, we look further afield — searching across Australia for what we call the Best of North Queensland & Beyond.

It is a very simple philosophy: local first, Australian always where we can, and quality above all.

This week we’ve continued to replenish many of your favourites.

Our beautiful crocheted cotton shower puffs and cotton face washers are back. After years of using plastic shower puffs myself, becoming more aware of microplastics made these natural cotton alternatives particularly appealing. Paired with one of our locally made soaps, they make a beautiful, thoughtful gift — or a lovely little piece of everyday care for yourself.

We’ve also welcomed another delivery of our much-loved Annabelle Biscuits in Lemon, Orange and Plain Almond.

And it was wonderful to see talented local author Renee Hayes today. Renee has replenished all four of her books and personally signed every copy for our customers. Thank you, Renee — we are incredibly proud to have your work represented in our store.

There’s plenty happening in fashion too, with new-season collections arriving throughout the weekend.

To make way, we now have two special racks at the back of the store featuring selected end-of-season pieces and some of our top-selling lines at 20% to 60% off.

There are some wonderful finds amongst them — and we all enjoy a sneaky bargain!

But ultimately, what we want you to remember about Winter & Mann isn’t simply what we sell.

It is how we want you to feel when you visit.

We believe there is still a place for genuine, old-fashioned service. A warm welcome. Time to help you find the right piece. Beautiful complimentary gift wrapping. Knowing the story behind a product and the person who made it.

We want visiting Winter & Mann to be part of the experience of visiting Yungaburra and the Atherton Tablelands.

Finally, we cannot finish tonight without saying thank you for the extraordinary number of messages, phone calls, cards and personal visits congratulating us on our recent awards.

For a small business, that support means an enormous amount.

Every recommendation, return visit and person you bring through our doors helps us continue supporting the makers, growers, artists, authors and Australian businesses whose work fills our store.

So this weekend, perhaps come up the range, stay a little longer and discover what is in our backyard.

There is so much waiting for you.

Winter & Mann is open seven days a week in beautiful Yungaburra.

With heartfelt thanks,
Anna, Stuart & the team at Winter & Mann
