About Us
OUR STORY
When you first stumble upon Manilla, you could be forgiven for driving straight through it. Blink and you're out the other side. But stay a while. This place has a way of getting under your skin.
Quiet streets. No roundabouts or traffic lights. A pace of life that the rest of the world seems to have traded away without noticing.
However, when you start listing what this region has to offer — it genuinely is remarkable. Most places would be lucky to have just one. We have all of them — and somehow it stays quiet. Unhurried. Itself.
Namoi Range was born from that feeling. Made for the locals who feel it in their bones, the visitors who come once and start looking for ways to come back, and everyone this country has ever got its hooks into.
"Embrace the Namoi. It's worth it."
— Shanna, Namoi Range · Manilla NSW
The Namoi River Story
The Namoi River has been flowing through this country for thousands of years. Starting high on the Great Dividing Range, it drops through Warrabah National Park, meets the Manilla River at The Junction, fills Lake Keepit, and keeps flowing west until it joins the Murray-Darling Basin hundreds of kilometres away.
In the Gamilaraay language of the Kamilaroi Nation, Namoi means 'meeting of the waters.' That's exactly what this place is — where rivers meet, where ridges meet the flats, where fishermen meet at dawn, where paragliders launch above it all, where locals and visitors find their favourite place on earth.
We made this brand for everyone who knows what it feels like to be here.
Why Namoi Range?
The name Namoi Range means three things.
The Namoi River — 708km of country flowing from the Great Dividing Range through Warrabah, past Manilla, filling Lake Keepit and rolling west to the Murray-Darling.
The Ranges — the Moonbi Range and Great Dividing Range where the river is born. Mt Borah rising 880 metres above the plains. The high country where paragliders chase thermals and mountain bikers descend the ridgelines.
And a range of apparel — made for the people who love this part of the world.
One name. Three meanings. All of them true.
