Tracey Nemeth - Whip Maker
History of a 5th Generation Aussie Whip Maker

Specialising in Kangaroo Hide, Stock Whips, Bullwhips and Novelty Whips.

Hand Made in Australia by Tracey Nemeth - one of the 5th Generation of Nemeth WhipMakers in Australia.

Great Great Grand-Daughter of Joseph Nemeth, a Hungarian Soldier, Saddler and Whip Maker.

On March 31, 1855 Joseph Nemeth arrived on the SS Aurora at Moreton Bay, Queensland Australia.
He later married Anne Doyle and they settled at Allora on the Darling Downs, Queensland where he started his Saddlery and Whip Making business.
They raised four children, one of who was my Great Grandfather William and his brother Joseph.
The two brothers took over the business during the 1890's, when their father retired, and kept it going until 1906 when they decided to close and leave Allora.
The family home in Allora is still lived in and in good repair.

When my Uncle Peter started making whips, in 1968, my Father, Brian Nemeth soon realized that the gift of whip making was in his genes also.
He quickly developed new methods, which helped them to produce whips in large quantities to supply the trade.
Brian also knew that he had and still has a great love for whip making.

My Uncle Peter left during 1969 and through the years Brian (Dad) has passed on his fine workmanship and skills to his children.
