Kristan & Gabriel, two fantastic people who are so proud of their country.
We were so inspired by the beautiful walk through Sacred Canyon and appreciated Kristian sharing his stories and language. An experience Gary, I and our friends will not forget.

Authentic, wonderful, helpful. Run by the amazing Kristian & Gaby. What a team!
Friendly and really great art.
I have had the privilege of being on tour with Kristian and what an incredible, personal experience he offers! His knowledge is vast, but itโs his passion that is infectiousโฆI always look forward to stopping in at Wadnaโฆand that is also because of the kindhearted other half of this outfit, Gaby!
Highly recommended, very genuine people who are eager to share their home on Country.

Great shop and thanks for The stories Chrisstoper.
Kristian was such a lovely guide for our tour up to see the Arkaroo rock art. He explained so much to us in a such an informative, kind way, the visit wouldnโt have been near as special without him. Very worthwhile. Highly recommend.
If youโre in the Blinman area then a visit to Wadna is a must. Kristian and family are so welcoming and friendly. Very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and culture. The art on display is vibrant, colourful and skilfully created. A visit will leave you feeling a little bit closer to the amazing country that surrounds this shop of treasures.
Love this beautiful art gallery in the middle of the Flinders Ranges. I cannot recommend visiting highly enough - well worth the visit.
THANKYOU Kristian for a truly memorable and immersive wander & yarn through the Sacred Canyon. You had us all enthralled by your stories and extensive knowledge of country & culture. The kids especially loved your friendly and informative nature & we came home & watched the abc iview series on Mega Fauna on our very first night home! We cannot WAIT to have our stunning damper seeds painting stretched & hung in our home as a permanent reminder of a fabulous day. I couldnโt recommend the experience highly enough to other travellers passing through the regionโฆ
Kristian & Gabriel are such amazing people. Though the cumtural tour was booked out, Kristian still spent time with us and answered all our questions so patiently!
The art is so mesmerizing, and the rich history behind each piece makes it every more precious. We bought a bunch of stuff - the best was a pair of earrings hand painted by Kristian & Gabriel's kids!
I recommend you book the tour in advance (unlike the mistake we made) and definitely visit these guys! Am sure this shop will bring a smile to your face!
Adding some pictures from the shop, I hope we get to do the cultural tour next time!

Bought some lovely artwork from here. They had a great range of gifts locally made and sourced. Thankyou.
Such talented remarkable artist. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Definitely worth the visit.
We visited Blinman 2 years ago with our French exchange student. What an amazing time we had. Kristian was so engaging and charming - he sang our student a song and we were all moved to tears. It clearly was her highlight of her visit to the Flinders. Looking forward to visiting again at the end of June with another French exchange
What a fantastic shop to visit to learn more from the Aboriginal culture.
I am personally very interested in the native plants and bush tucker, as well as aboriginal philosophy and history, and if thatโs you, this is a must stop.
Kristian and Gaby are amazing, sharing their knowledge with passion and love!
I wanted to stay and chat with them for days!!

We had such a lovely conversation with Kristian.
Great selection of aboriginal products. The artworks were beautiful. Definitely would have bought one if I had the money.
Fantastic place. Went for a look, their products are so good we had to buy some.
They owners love a chat.

Simply put, Wadna is marvellous. In strict retail terms, you're likely to find something in a theme or price range you might prefer. In broader terms, you can view and admire things that months or years of labour and Adnyamathanha understanding has gone into. Like the endless dust up there, the more you let settle into your skin, the more you can perceive that you didn't expect. If you take something home with you from Wadna, ask to hear its story, or you'll be leaving half of it behind. Wadna is filled with treasures that can never be made twice. No two stories are the same, no two branches, no two stones.
And no two mountains or valleys either.
The map calls this region the "Flinders Ranges," but you should go to Wadna and see its identity more properly expressed.

Prachtige winkel! Super authentiek
My friends and I did the Sacred Canyon tour. Christian provided a guided tour of the site, pointing out and explaining rock carvings and rock paintings. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the history. Thank you for such a wonderful tour and sharing so much of your culture and own story with us. A highlight of the trip. Highly recommend!
The owners were extremely helpful and informative
Lovely people

They are so many beautiful items to check out, but everything was way too expensive for us to buy anything at this time.
Amazing place. A must do while at Blinman. Wonderful art work.
Fantastic met the owner a true gentleman of the outback so pleased I went to see the shop I will remember the place for sure
This is a must do Flinders Ranges experience. The shop is great, but also take the time to do a tour. Kristian is a fabulous tour leader who generously shares his knowledge and wisdom.
Unique craft for sale and informative Country experience
We loved this place. I walked out from town once and went again when passing as my wife wasn't on the walk. The bloke was up for a chat about his products as well as a cabinet of family heirlooms which were fascinating. This joint was for us a memorable piece of Blinman.
Christian is an amazing, creative and knowledgeable person and the shop has beautiful artwork and native wares.

We visited today and can highly recommend a visit. Not only are the family very friendly and accommodating to our ever changing minds, they went out of there way to tell us stories about the Seven Sisters art piece Kristian was working on. We left with two new pieces of artwork to compliment our walls and a new cultural story for our children.
Deadly place to see lots of traditional artwork and handicrafts

We spent a wonderful morning in Glass Gorge with Kristian hearing stories, learning about bush tucker and appreciating the ancient rock carvings of the Adnyamathanha people .

Kristian & Gaby are the most knowledgeable hosts. Our sons spent a lovely afternoon in the shed with Kristian chatting and learning.

Nunga,
Wendy & I spent a day with Kristian and learnt so much about the creation stories. We had some marri mai (bush tucker) and saw some really cool artwork on a couple of very informative tours.
We learnt some yura ngawarla (Adnyamathanha language).
Both Kristian and Gabby are beautiful people, super friendly and very welcoming.
Wendy & I feel like we have known them both for ever and look forward to remaining in contact.
We have so much to learn about the Adnyamathanha Yarra (country) and stories.
Thank you Gabby and Kristian for your hospitality.
Warm wishes

We loved the shop with itโs extensive stock of art and all sorts of other stuff. Kristian and Gabby are very welcoming and freindly. Kristian is an amazing storyteller.
We also did a walk near Dingly Dell with Kristian, which was a fantastic eperience. He has a wealth of knowledge about the area and shares Adnyamathanha stories, language and knowledge brilliantly.

Hubby and I went out to have a look at Wadna after having lunch at the Blinman Pub.
OMG what a fantastic spot Gabby and Kristen are very welcoming and some amazing products. We didn’t leave empty handed.
I tried a product called Nanna Kits Bush Balm so far I have had positive results with it will definitely be buying some more when I run out.
Glad we went out and had a look can’t wait to go back once the extension is completed to have another look and do a tour as well.… See MoreSee Less

We recently asked Kristian to come and see our new Palliative care units at the Kimba Hospital in the hope that he could provide us with a couple of canvases that instilled a sense of peace for people through their journey. Well when i received the canvases to say i was impressed would be an understatement. Kristian certainly has a talent and one that he should be very proud off. We now have the canvases on the wall along with the story of each and they look amazing. The comments we have had are endless. I highly recommend Wadna Yuma and once again we thank you for providing such a beautiful piece of art for people to enjoy.… See MoreSee Less

Kristian is a funny, engaging guide and we learnt a huge amount through his tour. It was such a privilege to spend time learning from him about the history of the land and of the Adnyamathanha people.

We took on Kristian’s services to handcraft our medals and trophies for our recent trail running event through the Flinders Ranges.
Kristian is extremely talented, and made awards that were the best that many of the runners had ever seen. They really added an extra level to the sense of accomplishment by the runners.
We just want to thank Kristian and Wadna Yura for helping make our event so special, and we will always be grateful for being referred to him.
See you next year!… See MoreSee Less
