SPECIALTY RETAIL
Loft Mudgee
MUDGEE, NSW
A Perry Street store built around Mudgee-region makers: original paintings and photography from local artists, ClayCat pottery, Bryan Ludwick woodwork, Artisan 2850 silver and Indigiearth's native-food range, alongside furniture, candles and homewares. A rotating gallery hangs solo and group shows, and Kim runs hand-building pottery classes in-store. Open since 2013 on Wiradjuri Country in central Mudgee.
BOOKSHOP
The Book
Nest Mudgee
MUDGEE, NSW
An independent bookshop at 90 Church Street, opened in 2020 to give Mudgee a bookstore again. Owner Portia Lindsay, former manager of the Mudgee Readers' Festival, runs a general range alongside a secondhand shelf, a local-authors section and the shop's own Mudgee Tea Merchant tea. Book clubs and author launches run through the year, tying it to the town's literary life.
