Frosty nights and Ugg boots in outback Australia











Frosty nights have got people talking about Ugg boots and fleecy-lined slippers, and since I have neither, I made a point today of visiting Theresa's shop in Mitchell -- Samios Trading -- where friendly and helpful service are abundant.


Located next door to the Mitchell Cafe, Samios carries a huge and varied range of products: from horse saddles to bullets; from ballet shoes to steel; from bedding to high-quality working and country casual clothing and footwear.


It was the Ugg boots (made from sheep skins with the wool on the inside, and a suede outer finish) that caught my attention so I bought a pair and now my feet are cosy and warm.


They may not the height of fashion, but they are Australian-made and certainly keep out the winter chill.
