It’s been a minute! But we’ve been busy launching new products left right and centre!

We’ve got Canberra Bus Shelter Lamp sticker packs, Canberra Classic Keychains, new sock colours, and new Belco Owl Magnets all live on the website ✨

Our Christmas decorations have been flying out the door, so thank you to everyone that’s got a little North/South on their tree this year! We’re always looking to expand our range, so let us know what other Canberra ornaments you’d like to see in the comments!

Is our Canberra Bus Shelter Lamp the perfect Canberra gift?

They’re handmade by us just 100m from an actual bus shelter ✅
They’re endorsed by the estate of Clem Cummings, and there is even one in the home he designed and built for his family! ✅
Over 150 of you have rated them 5-stars! ⭐️✅

Now with two sizes to choose from, regular & large, they’re the perfect Canberra gift to brighten someone’s day 🚌💡

They’ve already sold out five times in the last two months, so grab yours from the link in our bio before they sell out again!

The weather is hot, the opinions are strong,
The roundabouts are where we all belong.
We complain about Canberra the whole bloody year,
Then put it on our Christmas tree because we love it here. 🎄

We’ve got everything you need to have yourself a very Canberra Christmas ❤️

Our full range of holiday ornaments are all made in Canberra and available on our website and at our stockists around the city!

Grab them from the link in our bio and automatically get 20% off ornaments when you buy three or more! ✌🏼

Our Canberra Bus Shelter Ornaments have debuted and are quickly becoming a customer favourite! We’ve had folks buy 10+ at once and we can’t wait to see pics of all the bus shelter trees out there! 🚌🧡

Back for another year, our Belco Owl ornaments are still our all-time Christmas best seller! Give your tree big owl energy with this Canberra classic! 🦉

Will the Bus Shelter Ornament knock it off its perch this year? 🤔

Posting this now so that a certain company that copies our products can get a head start on their own ornament Christmas prep 😅💀

We couldn’t stop laughing at how big and silly this custom-sized Canberra Bus Shelter Lamp turned out, so we had to share the love and make it available for everyone to get their own! We’ve had a few people say our lamp was smaller than they expected, so we had to address this!

We’ve also put up our Christmas tree already, so we figured people should be able to get their hands on all the Canberra holiday ornaments✨🎄Our Christmas collection is live and we have a new bundle that gets you all 5 quintessential Canberra ornaments at a special bundled price 👌🏼👌🏼

Find all these new products on our website at the link in our bio or northdotsouth.com.au. We can’t wait to see how you all decorate your trees! 😍🎄

How it started and how it’s going…

Today is Thanksgiving back in Canada, and it’s got me looking back on this wild journey feeling so incredibly thankful for this community and all of the support we’ve gotten from you all!

I went from applying for jobs while trying to book every photography gig I could to pay the bills to spending my days making lamps non-stop, but learning and getting to experience what this city means to each and every one of you. All from a single idea at 10:57am on April 7th 🚌💡

So thank you, really, for all the support and love we’ve been so fortunate to receive over the last six months🫶🏼

Don’t want to try your luck with our giveaway? We’ll have a fresh batch of our Original Canberra Bus Shelter Lamps restocked at 12pm today! 🚌💡

And after today, we’re going to make lamps available for purchase as we finish making them throughout the week. So no more Monday restock alarms needed!

27/09/2026

If you’re after an Original Canberra Bus Shelter Lamp of your own, or doing some Christmas shopping (yes, it’s that time already😱) be ready at 7pm tonight for our first evening drop!🚌💡

I keep waiting for us to find our rhythm with rose lamps, but the world of small business seems to think we need more *learning opportunities* 😅

From global demand for tan/beige filament to stockists selling out and wanting more lamps, this week has had it all!

Last week was a rollercoaster! From the highs of selling out 100 lamps in 10 minutes, having our lamps available around the city and selling before we’ve even left the shop, to the lows of realising everything went wrong and we are running out of parts and materials.

Heck, I didn’t even mention the fact that we did deliveries all around Canberra, only to forget an order going to Cook, so we had to drive an hour round trip the next day since shipping would have taken too long (by our standards) 🤦🏻‍♂️

But you can bet we are going to triple check all of our settings before we launch today! 😅

Until then, enjoy these throwback pics of emo-band Andrew and wore-a-suit-with-tails-to-prom Andrew.

We will see you all at 12pm (Canberra time), where another 100 Canberra Bus Shelter Lamps will go live on our website!

PS as I mentioned, next week we’re going to release stock at 7pm for all the folks that aren’t able to do a bit of midday online shopping!
