We can’t wait to see you all next Saturday at the Rural Women Unite Ladies Luncheon! 🌸💗

We’re so excited to be part of such a beautiful day! ✨

My name is Karen. I grew up on a large cattle station in Cape York Peninsula, where the vast, open landscape shaped my childhood and continues to inspire me today.

After relocating with my family to Charters Towers, Queensland, I began searching for a way to bring my lifelong passions together into one meaningful venture. That journey led to the creation of Nockacoora - a brand that reflects my love of creativity, craftsmanship, and a touch of fun.

Nockacoora takes its name from a large natural lagoon on our property, the backdrop to countless childhood adventures and cherished memories. Every piece I create is made with care and heart, drawing on the natural beauty and simplicity that have always inspired me.

Nockacoora offers a thoughtfully curated collection for those who appreciate handmade artistry and timeless design. After many years of trading at local markets, Nockacoora proudly opened the doors to a beautiful little shopfront in the Stock Exchange Arcade alongside Here in the Towers in late 2025. We’d love to meet you - so please pop by and say hi 👋🏼

See you at RWU
