The Importance Of My Country-Clothing Connection - & Key Everyday Staples, Hats & Caps
At my self-led initiation, entirely at my own cost, and with proactive support, over these past few years journey and its natural evolution.
I have personally sought and invested my pride-filled advocacy for all the country clothing, country hat, and trucker-cap brands that I have supported.
They all have ingrained connections to our farming communities, and to the Australian Bush.
For me, they represent as symbols of respect and safekeeping when I am in head-to-foot attire, connecting to my journey and its core values, supporting our farmers, farming communities, country, and our interconnected local-first communities right across Australia.
And it makes me feel strong, held and safe, to know, that I am part of a greater farming community, and the trust and safekeeping amongst them all represents courage, persistence, perseverance, resilience, reassurance, encouragement, and comfort.
Knowing they are all around and beside me, as my personal journey of transition from my past to present continues, fills me with great pride.
These have become part of my personal brand and its endeavours to bring our communities closer together.
City With Country
Beaches, Mountains, Coast.
Together With Regional Australia, Rural & Remote.
To Our Greatest! Outback Country.
Akubra
‘Akubra is an Australian brand of bush hat, whose wide-brimmed styles are a distinctive part of Australian culture, especially in rural areas.
The name is believed to be derived from an Aboriginal word for head covering.’
They are often worn by hunters, farmers, graziers, horsemen, stockmen on the land.
The Importance of My Akubra
Handcrafted hats. Proudly Australian. Worn the world over. Family-owned for over 140 years.
Not only is the Akubra hat a staple piece of clothing worn in the Australian bush, it symbolises life in rural & outback Australia: courage, determination, perseverance, and self-reliance. It is a source of pride for all Australians.
The Akubra bears very special meaning to me.
From my very first purchase in early 2019, and the collection that has grown with me. Grateful to all who have been part of this journey too.
For the past 5 years the Akubra has become synonymous with my journey’s evolution, and it proudly represents my very close affinity, bond and connection over the past few years to regional, rural, and remote Australia.
It is the farmers’ hands on my head and shoulders, and its people saying, “Keep going Selina! We’ve got you, and get on with it, there is hope for us all.”

RINGERS WESTERN
“STICKIN TOGETHER"
The Ringers Western brand was born back in 2012, cooked up by a crew of hardworking family and friends, gathered around a stock-camp fire after a day’s mustering on a rugged cattle station in the Kimberley Region, of Western Australia.
Proudly adding to my hat collection in May 2024 the Ringers Western (Cowboy/Cowgirl) Hat, in the continued support of this key staple clothing that also bears significance and meaning over the years.
In my expansive heart led support of our incredible! outback farming communities. With tremendous respect to Our Dear Farmers, Stockmen, and women, Jillaroos & Jackaroos. For all that they do for our communities too.
As part of the greater agriculture industry and farming communities. And who are the very backbone of our country and its communities.
