Picnic Port
A Pic-i-nic Basket to Make Yogi Bear Drool. The Didgeridoonas Picnic Port takes the picnic basket to a new and cooler level. This ruggedly elegant, spacious, picnic pack is insulated on all sides, with a removable base which can be used to separate and protect 2 layers of food and dishes.
The Thermal Lock is The Key. Crafted from durable, weather-proof, Australian oilskin canvas, and insulated with pure Australian wool, the Picnic Port is incredibly light and amazingly functional. Through the magic of Wool, this cooler adopts the temperature of what you put in it – hot or cold -- and holds temperature for hours. Use your Picnic Port to:
- Keep Hot items Hot for up to 4-5 hours before re-heating.
- Keep Cold items Cold for up to 6-8 hours ice-free.
- Keep contents refrigerator cold up to 24 hours when you drop in a reusable freezer block.
No ice means: no extra weight, no wasted space, no extra cost, no water to ruin your food or other contents, and no wet mess to clean up at the end of the day.
- This premium picnic pack is not only built to work, it’s built to stand the test of time. As rugged as the Outback, the Picnic Port has a life expectancy which is measured in decades not mere months or years. And the extended, nylon-web straps allow for easy carrying. Yes, you can wear it out, but you’re going to have a wonderful time doing so.
This 16 Liter pack is perfect for keeping your food & drinks at the desired temperature, while safely transporting dishes, cutlery, and your other picnic essentials in a compact kit.
Gone are the days where a “Picnic” is defined as an event where you eat food which is normally served Hot, cold; and food normally served Cold, hot. When you have a Picnic Port, you change the game. Let Mother Nature at her very best make your outdoor events unnaturally great.

Sheer Simplicity ... An active insulator, pure Australian Wool is one of the best insulators on the planet. Water-repellant, but vapor absorbent, the Wool insulation absorbs the temperature from the contents, creating a thermal lock. As the temperature rises (or lowers), the Wool recycles the cold (or heat) it has stored back into the bag for extended life.
Man-made, largely petroleum-based insulators, simply create a passive temperature barrier. Unlike these man-made materials which lose their insulating capacity when wet, Wool maintains 100% of its thermal properties in all conditions.
Sheer Performance ... Wool fiber is extremely durable, making it particularly well suited for rugged, repeated use applications. Aussie Wool is more durable than synthetic and other natural fibers. When paired with ultra-tough Australian oilskin canvas, your Picnic Port has a life expectancy measured in decades, not mere months or years.
Sheer Sustainability ... The World has awakened to the importance of using renewable, sustainable resources for the long-term health of our Families and Planet. Australian Wool is organic, abundant, renewable, and sustainable. In addition to outperforming and outlasting man-made insulators, Wool is biodegradable and compostable, offering many environmental benefits to the ecosystem. We can simulate Nature, but we cannot replicate Nature. When it comes to finding the best insulator on the planet, there is nothing better than Mother Nature at her very best.
Sheer Brilliance ... The genesis of these amazing ice-free coolers can be traced back to the great Wool surplus of the mid-1990’s. Barbi & Leigh Hemming produced Wool blankets, outerwear, and other Life accessories on the Gold Coast of Australia. Concerned for their Farmer friends who produce Wool, Barbi & Leigh began searching for new uses. In a stroke of brilliance, they asked themselves: “We use wool to keep people warm, can we use wool to keep things cold?”
The Hemmings set out in hopes of creating a soft-sided cooler which would keep ice frozen longer than traditional ice-box coolers. Little did they know until the completion of the Original Australian Cooler Bag that they had in fact created a cooler which does not require ice.
In 1995, the Didgeridoonas brand of Wool-insulated coolers was launched in Australia. In 2000, the Phillips Family of Cape Woolamai Mercantile were given a Woolly Wine Cooler as a gift. In 2005, we began importing these premium ice-free coolers to America.
