From Mareeba to the Melbourne Cup—Sonlia Fashion is redefining what it means to be a creative powerhouse in the bush. This episode of You Can’t Do That in the Bush follows founder Liana Hastie as she stitches together heritage, bold design, and unapologetic creativity to create one-of-a-kind couture from Far North Queensland. Against a backdrop of mango trees and red dirt roads, Sonlia is proof that world-class fashion doesn’t need a capital city postcode. Her story is one of grit, talent, and culture—woven into every wearable artwork that walks her rural runway.
