Company Profile

The "Brumby" is an iconic Australian horse, free running, bold, accepting of no boundaries. We draw inspiration from the freedom and natural balance which it represents, and from the speed and agility with which it moves. We embrace the quest for a healthy mind, body and spirit, and we strive to represent an eclectic and growing mix of the most innovative, adventurous and passionate publishers from around the world.

Brumby Books has 20 years experience in wholesale book distribution for Australian and international publishers. We have over 4,000 customers in total, from the largest retail book chains in the big cities to the smallest health, gift and metaphysical shops on the outskirts of our cities and in regional Australia.

CK Minerals is the result of the shared passion of father - daughter team Cyril and Katherine Kovacic.

Cyril was first attracted to gold specimens some 40 years ago, and he also recognised the untapped beauty of Australian mineral specimens. By the time he co-founded the Mineralogical Society of Victoria in 1976, Cyril's knowledge had expanded to include minerals from all parts of the world.

While Katherine and her brother were growing up, the family often went fossicking (the kids even had their own child-sized picks!) and regularly attended gem and mineral shows.

"Some of my earliest and happiest childhood memories are of family fossicking and fossil-hunting expeditions. I think minerals must be in my blood!"

Katherine

Over the years, we have published a number of books on Australian minerals, gemstones and gold, as well as producing the journals Australian Mineralogist, Australian Gems and Crafts Magazine, and Australian Gem and Treasure Hunter.

With CK Minerals, we have refocussed on sharing our love of minerals with others.

We are constantly searching for collections, new finds, and special pieces to buy, and that means there will always be something new to discover in the pages of our website.

My name is Keryn Coulter and I have been in clinical practice for 11 years. I am also a teacher (26 years experience), previously specialising in Primary and Music, currently I teach children with 'learning difficulties' two days a week. I am passionate about helping people reach their potential physically, emotionally and intellectually, thus allowing them to optimise their everyday lives. This website aims to offer information on the modalities used in the clinic, as well as occasional updates on nutritional and herbal matters, such as information on a featured herb - its background, general uses, interactions with other herbs and medications and most importantly any contraindications regarding its use. email: keryn@tryfosstherapies.com.au
