Tambo Teddies

In 1992 wool prices had crashed, the Tambo district was in the grip of a drought and the local community were challenged to come up with a new industry to sustain the economy. The idea that Tambo could assist the wool industry, encourage tourists and create employment by making unique teddy bears from Australian wool pelts, and stuff them with wool, led Tambo (population 600) to become the ‘outback Teddy capital of Australia’.
Tambo Teddies are handcrafted and distinctive being individually named after local properties and each with its own unique number and distinct personality, no two bears are ever the same!
One of our many highlights was the Queensland gift to Prince George, his very own Mr Stockman Basil.
