Customer Deliveries During Covid-19 Pandemic
The Covid-19 situation may impact the time frame in which parcels are delivered. Although we have the full commitment from Australia Post to deliver all orders as usual, we are seeing delays as they adapt to the new challenges presented by the pandemic, such as additional safety measures to protect their people and customers, reduction in domestic and international flights, international delays and increased volumes. Kakadu Traders Australia acknowledges that these are unprecedented circumstances and although every effort is made to ensure that orders are delivered within the given time lines we are not able to take any responsibility for delays caused by the impact Covid-19
Delivery times:
Delivery times for international orders are merely an estimate for metropolitan areas and largely depend on the country being shipped to. You may experience prolonged delays due to random customs checks outside of our control. For more information, see Australia Post’s International Post Guide.
In order to receive your purchase as quickly as possible, we recommend international customers select the International Express option as they are prioritised.
Order Tracking:
All international orders are shipped via Australia Post unless organised otherwise. You will receive an email confirmation with your tracking number once your order is dispatched (check your spam folders. Orders can be tracked at http://auspost.com/track.

KAKADU ORIGINS
Richard and his wife Catherine Whillas first constructed their own oilskin cloth using a 'wringer mangler' and a combination of oils and waxes found on the local land. Known for its functionality and durability, this cloth was ideal to protect their family and wharf equipment against the harsh artic winds as they manned the Cappe Jaffa lighthouse.
Eventually parts of the family would go onto manufacture outerwear garments and hats for Australians and later, as word spread, worldwide. It was during this time that "Kakadu Traders Australia" would become a brand, synonymous with quality, comfort, and durability.
50 years on and still under the watchful eyes of the Whillas family, Kakadu Traders Australia supplies tough, reliable products worldwide. Strong canvas, refined oils & waxes and rugged cowhide are amongst the raw materials that give our products the guts to get the job done time & time again.
