Santa Claus is coming to town!!!
Welcome to The Bushland Workshop
Where Christmas magic is made beneath the gum trees. Bookings open September 2026
This Christmas, Santa's workshop has popped up in the Australian bush.
Our Bushland Workshop is a festive Christmas setting tucked among the gum trees, created especially for your family's Santa photos.
Think rustic workshop charm, Christmas magic, Aussie bushland, Santa, cheeky kids, wagging tails and plenty of moments worth capturing.
Forget the shopping-centre crowds and rushed Santa visits.
Here, Christmas feels relaxed, personal and a little bit more magical.
Come meet Santa, make some Christmas memories and capture photographs you'll treasure long after the decorations come down. Concept image. Final styling may vary.

The Bushland Workshop
Santa's little workshop in the Australian bush.
Hidden amongst the gum trees, The Bushland Workshop is where Santa gets ready for Christmas.
We've created a festive bushland setting filled with Christmas details, rustic workshop touches and plenty of opportunities for your family to interact with Santa and create beautiful photographs.
It's not a shopping-centre Santa experience.
It's not a rushed photo in front of a backdrop.
It's Santa in the Australian bush, surrounded by a little Christmas magic and lots of personality.
A sneak peek at what's coming...
I've been dreaming up this year's Bushland Workshop, and these concept images show you a little of the Christmas magic I'm creating beneath the gum trees.
The actual set will have its own little surprises, so the finished styling may vary slightly from these visuals.

Your new favourite Christmas tradition.
You're not buying a photograph. You're buying the moment.
The photograph is what you take home.
But the real value is everything that happens before you see it.
It's the look on your child's face when they realise Santa is actually there.
It's the laugh you hear when Santa says something ridiculous.
It's the little hand reaching for his.
It's the family photograph you'll pull out years from now.
It's having something tangible to remind you of the Christmas when they were this little.
And it's knowing that, for a little while, you stopped everything and simply enjoyed being together.
The Bignall Family Tradition
Imagine making Santa in the Bush part of your family's Christmas tradition.
The same excitement every year. The children getting a little older. The family changing. The pets coming and going, and a photograph each Christmas showing exactly how your family looked at that moment in time.
One day, you'll have a collection of them.
And that collection will be priceless.
Not because they're perfect.
Because they're yours.
