If you’re ever lucky enough to find yourself exploring South Australia, take the road less travelled and plan a visit to The Coorong in the State’s Southeast, where you’ll bear witness to tranquil waterways, alive with spectacular birdlife.
Nestled south of Meningie, the biodiversity at Coorong Lakes is striking, with diverse ecosystems ranging from low-lying saline wetlands adorned with samphire and melaleuca shrublands to sandy dune systems of mallee and woodlands. This unique habitat supports a rich array of native flora and fauna, including rare and endangered species like the Purple-gaped Honeyeater and the Metallic Sun-orchid—one of Australia’s largest and most impressive sun-orchids.
As a Trace accredited carbon positive organisation, Etikette proudly contributes funding towards certified climate solutions, including bushland biodiversity restoration projects across Australia, such as The Coorong Lakes, as well as global initiatives aligned with the Paris Agreement and UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The Coorong Lakes project is a vital initiative aimed at preserving and enhancing one of Australia’s most significant wetland ecosystems. This area serves as a critical habitat for numerous native species and is designated as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention. Managed by Cassinia Environmental in collaboration with the Ngarrindjeri people, the project not only safeguards biodiversity but also contributes to the region’s environmental resilience.
Working on nearby Peramangk and Kaurna Country in the Adelaide Hills, Etikette is driven by sustainable craftsmanship, and we honour our connection to the environment through fragrances that rekindle memories of this wild and beautiful place we get to call home.
We’re committed to sustainability. Our candles are made from soy wax and cotton wicks and our diffusers are made exclusively using eco base, a gentle plant-based alternative to glycol ethers and acetates. All our golden amber glassware is designed for reuse. Our collections are produced using techniques that respect the environment and support local communities.
Together, with our customers and partners such as Trace, Etikette ensures that every purchase contributes to a greener, more resilient future for generations to come.
