Our Story
Wildflowers of Central Australia
Welcome to Nature of Alice.
My name is Lyndal, and I am Nature of Alice.
Our family property is nestled among the iconic West MacDonnell Ranges in beautiful Central Australia, Northern Territory—an area of extraordinary natural beauty. Just 10km southwest of Alice Springs, in the region of Ilparpa, our property is not just where we live—it is inextricably woven into how we create and connect to our beautiful landscape.
Nature of Alice grew from a love of the wildflowers on our land—a way of connecting with my family, our environment and the simple beauty around us. It’s something I’ve found deeply grounding, restorative and uplifting and I hope I can share that experience with you too.
From this same connection to the land, Nature of Alice Bush Retreat was born—a place where guests can slow down, breathe deeply, and experience the quiet beauty of the Central Australian bush, surrounded by the colours, sounds and stories of this remarkable landscape.
What we make
My unique jewellery pieces are handcrafted using wildflowers grown and handpicked from our own Central Australian property. Preserved in Australian-made resin, each piece celebrates the colours, textures and quiet beauty of our desert surrounds — a small piece of the landscape to treasure wherever you are. Custom orders are welcomed.
Private appointment viewings are also offered. Contact me for a personal showcase of my pieces at your home or hotel in Alice Springs!
Our home amongst the Wildflowers
We manage our land to control the invasive buffel grass, allowing native wildflowers to flourish naturally. Thanks to these conservation efforts, our property is proudly registered as a Land for Wildlife site.
I was born in the Territory, have lived in many places near and far, and now settled in Central Australia with my husband and 4 teenage children. My parents were primary producers so I was lucky to grow up on the land. Still nursing after more than 35 years, I now consider myself to be a nurturer and 'farmer' of wildflowers!
Wildflower species
Over 60 different species of local wildflowers and native plants grow on our property including many varieties of the Billy Button, Ptilotus (Mulla Mulla) and everlasting daisies along with the iconic Sturt's Desert Pea and the NT floral emblem the Sturt's Desert Rose. We also have an abundance of acacia (mulga & wattle), hakea, cassia and eucalyptus along with many other Australian natives.
