Who We are

Some time ago, the Slater family discovered a beautiful and rare piece of bushland in Coffin Bay, South Australia. This land is now recognised as one of South Australia’s last remaining patches of ‘grassy low she-oak woodland’ on calcrete, supporting a rich and diverse understory of endemic species. Sadly, this unique ecosystem is classified as critically endangered.

Within this untouched bushland, the Slater family chose a sheltered spot—a sanctuary of tranquility—where they could come together around a fire, sharing stories and meals cooked over hot coals beneath the Southern Cross. It is here that Yarnbala was born, a place where connection with each other and with nature is strongest.

This family endeavour inspires optimism for the future, inviting us to celebrate the essence of life in a way that honours nature while reminding us of our personal responsibility to protect and preserve the natural world for generations to come..
