Australia's No 1 Stockwhip

Thank you very much for making Nemeth Whips Australia the No 1 Selling Stockwhip

NEMETH WHIPS AUSTRALIA is a family-owned business - in fact, the Nemeth family has been in the saddlery / whip making business since 1850. NEMETH WHIPS AUSTRALIA is synonymous quality stockwhips and bullwhips that are both well-balanced and durable.

NEMETH WHIPS AUSTRALIA became a registered Trade Mark in July 2003, and has been a registered business since 1996.

All our whips are hand crafted from Australian Redhide and Kangaroo Hide leather, and we supply many thousand of stockwhips every year to all Saddlery stores across Australia. Our whips are purchased by stockmen and stockwomen on the land, and also to tourist throughout Australia and numerous overseas countries. Our commitment to quality, durability, and services has resulted in NEMETH WHIPS AUSTRALIA being the current NUMBER ONE selling stockwhip in Australia.

All our whips have a green label on the handle, stating 'Nemeth Whips Made in Australia'. The absence of this green label means that you are not purchasing a genuine NEMETH WHIPS AUSTRALIA stockwhip or bullwhip.

Stockmen and women have been using Stockwhips throughout Australia since the early 1800's and it is still the preferred whip used today. The design of the Stockwhip is perfectly suited to Australian conditions and has been refined for use on horseback while working cattle and stock.

In 2002 The Year of the Outback was a really big year for increasing people's awareness of Australian Stockwhips, and the men and women on the land.

During his tour of the outback, Mr Peter Costello ( the treasurer) was presented with a NEMETH WHIPS AUSTRALIA stockwhip in Roma, south west Queensland.

Big Brother 2 was on Channel 10 between April & June 2002, and Marty (the country boy housemate), brought a stockwhip into the house. We knew instantly that it was a NEMETH WHIPS AUSTRALIA stockwhip, due to the visible green label. Ironically, Marty brought his whip in Perth and brought it over to the Big Brother House at Dreamworld, south east Queensland - only 20kms away from where it was originally made.

We were lucky to meet Marty & Jessica from Big Brother 2 after the show had finished. We wrote a letter to Marty, offering to give him a new whip to replace his whip that he auctioned for charity when he left the house. The whip was a 6x4 Redhide stockwhip that had been signed by some of the housemates, and it was sold for $3,500. Marty & Jessica called into our workshop to pick up his new whip. John made a beautiful two tone (Black & Red) Kangaroo hide Stockwhip for Marty, and it appeared in Celebrity Big Brother a few days later.

Here are some photos of the day that Marty & Jessica called into the workshop.

The famous Outback adventurer, Russell Coight, ( All Aussie Adventures) also has one of our whips that he uses in the show - a loaded & balanced 6x4 Redhide stockwhip.

In July 2003, John & Katrina Nemeth made the decision to move into a larger commercial workshop and become the biggest manufacturer of stockwhips in Australia. We had a Grand Opening for the workshop on the 31st October 2003. Marty from Big Brother 2 flew over from Perth for the big day and brought his whip with him. Politicians, clients and friends joined John & Katrina in celebrating the great achievement, Marty & John were interviewed by newspaper and radio journalists.
