WE DID IT! WADNA IS AN AWARD WINNER! 🏆
2026 Telstra Best of Business Awards – South Australian First Nations Award Winner! 🖤💛❤️
We are absolutely overwhelmed, humbled and incredibly proud to announce that Wadna has been named the South Australian Winner at the 2026 Telstra Best of Business Awards!
For us, this is so much more than winning an award. It is recognition of our culture, our people, our Country and the years of hard work, determination and passion that have gone into building Wadna.
As a small, family-owned and operated Adnyamathanha business in the heart of the Flinders Ranges, we started with a vision to share our culture, preserve our stories, create opportunities for our people and give visitors a genuine connection to Adnyamathanha Country.
We have worked tirelessly, overcome challenges and made many sacrifices along the way. But we have never lost sight of why we started.
Our culture is our strength, our Country is our home, and our people are our inspiration.
This award is not just for us. It is for our Elders, our ancestors who walked before us, our family, our wonderful staff and the next generation of Adnyamathanha people who will continue to carry our culture forward.
To everyone who has walked through our doors, joined our cultural tours, purchased our handmade arts and crafts, supported our little business or simply encouraged us along the way — THANK YOU!
Your support has helped turn our dream into something truly special.
To be recognised on this level, alongside so many outstanding South Australian businesses, is an achievement we will treasure.
