A Curious Tractor

Goods on Country is an Australian social enterprise delivering durable, purpose-built furniture to remote Indigenous communities. Its flagship product — the Stretch Bed is a flat-packable, washable bed made from recycled plastic, galvanised steel, and heavy-duty canvas, designed to withstand remote conditions. The project includes an on-Country manufacturing model where communities collect, shred, and press local plastic waste into bed components, creating a pathway to community ownership.
