Chris and Tony Billings started Skye Park Rugs from a little room at the front of their tiny cottage in Skye (between Frankston and Cranbourne, Victoria), 25 or so, years ago.  Chris was a keen dressage/show rider, and made rugs mainly for her friends.  They have worked very hard and their little business has grown into a big business, with both Chris and Tony involved and they now employ a number of helpers.

It is great to see an Australian manufacturer making a go of it against the Asian and overseas imports.

dskyepark2.jpg (15641 bytes) A very eyecatching and colourful display from Skye Park Rugs.  This 'combi' rug would compare with the 'best' of the imported lines.

dstencils2.jpg (15244 bytes) These interesting stencils attracted a great crowd every day - and I am sure that people will use the designs to decorate properties all over Australia.
dstevebrady1.jpg (17126 bytes) I have been the Equitana's Mane Event 4 times now - twice in 1999 and twice this time.  On both occasions I was really impressed with the outstanding ability of Steve Brady as a horse trainer.   Since the first time I aw Steve, I have asked around and found that many people have been to clinics and he is highly recommended for his down to earth and effective approach.  I would like to do a clinic and would hope to do so in 2002.  Phone 02) 6550 2229

They are here with Story Book Farm.
