At Girls Who Roar (GWR), we empower teenage girls across Australia. Our mission is to help them embrace their uniqueness, build confidence, and become resilient. Through our 6-week program, we create a supportive space for girls to explore their identity and develop strength.
We understand that many girls struggle with self-doubt during the teenage years. They often question their identity, lovability, and capabilities. The relationship with their parents can also become complicated, making it hard to open up. That’s why we’ve built a community where girls can connect with others on the same journey. In this safe space, they share experiences, learn important life lessons, and gain the tools to take control of their lives.
Our program is flexible. It includes six video-based sessions, accessible anytime via our online portal. This means girls can join from anywhere and at their own pace. Additionally, we send a ‘Girls Who Roar’ welcome pack, which includes a custom GWR Journal. This helps keep them motivated throughout the program.
At GWR, we teach girls how to make wise choices and build healthy relationships. We also equip them with the skills to handle the challenges of being a teenager. And, we’re here for the parents too. We know how crucial it is to support your teenager through these years, and we’re ready to help them thrive.
Join us and be part of a movement that helps teenage girls discover their true selves. Together, we’ll build the confidence to roar.

“At Maude’s Madhouse, I specialise in creating vibrant, original artworks that bring colour and personality into your home. I work with bright acrylics, watercolours, and detailed graphite drawings, ensuring that each piece is unique and crafted with care. I also offer custom commissions, working closely with clients to create art that reflects their individual style and personality.
What sets me apart is my use of quality materials and my deep connection to the Hunter Valley. Much of my work is inspired by the stunning natural beauty and charm of the area. In addition to my artwork, I run four public art workshops each month for adults, drawing on years of experience as an art teacher. I also offer private workshops tailored to specific groups or interests. My aim is to provide a welcoming space where creativity can flourish.
Art is not just my profession—it’s my passion. I believe in its ability to calm the mind, ignite joy, and bring a sense of playfulness into everyday life. By sharing my skills and knowledge through workshops, I hope to inspire others to find their own creative voice.
Living in the Valley for the past 16 years, I’ve grown to love the supportive business community and the friendly, welcoming people. My artwork is currently on display and available for purchase at Lime Leaf Café in the Hunter Valley Gardens Shopping Village.
Whether you’re looking for a unique piece of art or an opportunity to explore your creativity, Maude’s Madhouse is here to help.”

Driven by a passion to address the plastic waste crisis, we sought sustainable solutions. We envisioned plastic enjoying not just a second, but even up to a tenth life as a diverse range of products, from containers to significant home and office features like tables, chairs, and kitchen benchtops.
We can transform High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic into usable products multiple times. Imagine your drink bottle becoming your coffee table or your wheelie bin morphing into a chic dining table.
We take pride in our additive-free products. When you’re done with them, simply return them to us for recycling, ensuring they’re repurposed again and again before being refined into recycled oil.
We’re located in Kurri Kurri and hope to continue to stand as a shining example of sustainability for years to come.

Hello! I’m Emily Birdsey, a full-time artist based in Paxton.
My aspiration is to grace people’s homes with captivating art that infuses a slice of nature into their daily lives in an engaging, imaginative manner. I’m on a mission to craft pieces that not only beautify spaces but also ignite pride and joy in those who admire them.
I believe that creating art is an act of self-care, a means to nourish and cherish ourselves. Through my art, I strive to kindle others’ creativity and unveil the magic of self-expression. I harness the therapeutic essence of wildlife art to uplift and inspire, offering solace and comfort to souls in search of it.
I love using different materials and methods in my art, mostly working with oils and mixing in other media. This combination lets me bring wildlife alive on canvas, enriching my pieces with a vivid palette of hues and textures.
I feel a deep connection and find comfort in the natural world, and take great inspiration from natures beauty.
You’ll find me at community markets and events, I also offer local pickup, or purchase online and have your new favourite artwork shipped to your door.
