Got an email through with a few shots from Chloe & Janelle who have been travelling overseas for a few months… anyway they visited LA last week and sent this picture in of them posing in front of the famous Hollywood sign whilst kitted out in “Directions Home” & “Tell Him He’s Dreaming T Shirts”.

The girls sent a quick message on the lines of: “hey guys, having a great trip and just to let you know, we’re loving our echidna tees!! The other Aussies we have met on our travels are always asking where we got them from”!

Cheers for that ladies and sounds like you are going hard on your travels - have fun out there!! Also, if any more of you feel inspired - send in your travelling shots whilst wearing our Australia T Shirts and we will get them posted up on the site for you!

Echidna Clothing is all about wearing an aussie t shirt on your sleeve, and doing so with a bit of style as well.

It all began when a bloke stuck in a freezing London winter wanted an Australia t shirt to remind him of home. After a few cold ones to fuel the creative process, and many hours hunched over the drawing board, Echidna Clothing was born.

It doesn’t matter if you are at the beach, in the bush or travelling around the globe… wearing Australian t shirts shows the world where you’re from, and keeps you looking good at the same time.

At Echidna, we take Australian icons like Bonnie Doon, Brisvegas, The Southern Cross, and others – and then turn these into retro Aussie t shirts so you can show the world where you’re from.

We are so confident in that you will be stoked with your new Australian T Shirts, we offer a no questions asked, money back guarantee on all items!!

Make sure you let all your mates know about our Australia T Shirts, and remember Echidna Tees are perfect aussie gift for your friends and family overseas.

After 3 long and cold years stuck in between freezing English winters and the alleged “English Summer”, I have had enough and decided to pull up stumps and return to the warmer climates down under. So I guess you are asking, what does this mean for Echidna? The answer is – our customers are unlikely to notice any changes! The only difference is that I will now be posting all T Shirts from the southern hemisphere, which means it will take approx 5 working days to deliver to the UK / Rest of world and we can have your shirts delivered to Australian addresses within a couple of days – so great news for all of you who are living in Australia. We will also b changing our pricing format, and changing it from British pounds to Australian dollars. From our point of view, this will give us a great chance to get our range of Australian clothing ranged in local stores and markets… So watch this space and as we gain new stockists we will let you know where you can find our Aussie T Shirts! On a personal point of view, I am tired of looking like a pasty pom and looking forward to spending A LOT of time down at the beach and soaking up the summertime! The most difficult part of the whole moving business was trying to get all my stock on the plane without paying too much extra baggage fees!! Took a bit of “negotiating” (e.g. - begging) at the airport to get 30 odd KG’s of Australia T Shirts shifted in addition to my normal baggage… but the people at the airline were pretty cool and managed to get it all shipped through without being stung too much for extra baggage. So there you go, my plane landed at 5am on Saturday morning and I was at the Beach by 8am.. What a good way to celebrate getting home!

Hopefully you have enjoyed checking out our range of Australia T Shirts on this site. A lot of the people who buy our Australian clothing are Aussies living overseas. With this in mind we have created a page of links that can help you catch up with the expat community overseas. We have designed this page to hopefully make your time overseas a lot easier, and more importantly a hell of a lot more fun. The page is titled “Links for Aussies Overseas” and you can find if under the “Cool Links” page, (or click here www.echidnaclothing.com/coollink_2.htm)

We have included links that will help you catch up with Aussies, be that for social groups, sports clubs, business networking groups, even ANZAC dating in the UK. On this note, If you are involved in any Aussie Expat groups overseas, let us know the details and we will get you added to our directory - we reckon the more the merrier!

When launching a new product, most brands will have a swanky product launch with lots of press at a flash hotel, But thats not really what we’re about, so I thought how could I launch Echidna Clothing in true blue style…

Then I came up with a foolproof plan…. Launch On Australia Day, In London, by handing out cold beers to thirsty Aussies roaming the streets in search of a party.

I set up an Aussie T Shirt Stall on Shepherds Bush Green, across the road from Londons famous Walkabout with 2 Industrial Sized Bins filled with Ice & Beers. ( I had just been made redundant from my job working in marketing for a brewery - So this was the last of my “staff allowance”)

Anyway, to cut a long story short - handing out free beers (the ultimate aussie gifts) to backpackers in a London park went down pretty well, and before we knew it had about 60 people partying at the Echidna Stall in the park. Loads of people bought Australian T Shirts off me and things were going well (or so I thought).

Like all product launches this one had to come to an end as well. However unlike most product launches - This one finished in me being apprehend by the local coppers and being done for providing liquor without a license, and for unlawful street vending!!! Not the way I wanted to finish the day - but in terms of a launch, was a great way to get the word out about Echidna and our new range of Australian Clothing.

Anyway, there are 2 morals to this story….
1. Free Beer is the best way of advertising Australia T Shirts - EVER
2. Its only a crime if you get caught… SO DONT GET CAUGHT!
