ABOUT
Fisher Family
Jamie and Kiara Fisher are no strangers to a project, and when they took ownership of The Bugle Hut in 2023 it has been their biggest (yet smallest) project since. Jamie is a fifth generation dryland farmer in the area, with property in Loxton, Taldra and Bugle Hut. Jamie’s great, great grand father cleared their original allotment on what is now ‘Fisher Road’ with a horse and plough. He is proud of his heritage and recalls the building being empty for as long as he can remember; “since 2012, it has been a home for pigeons more than people” he said.
Kiara moved from in-town, to Bugle Hut over a decade ago and has been intrigued with the history of the building from day one. Working in real estate, and now construction, she didn’t take for granted the sheer miracle and craftsmanship to see a century-old building withstanding the regions harsh climate.
In awe of the Bugle Hut communities drive and willingness to help, the Fisher family have always welcomed help from the entire community. Although the overall numbers in the area have decreased since the buildings opening; the need for a space to celebrate has never been higher.
Welcoming their first child Aurora, in late 2022, a renewed hope for revitalising the area is what pushed Jamie and Kiara to acquire the property; after dipping their toe in the water of the tourism and event space with their first property ‘The River Block’.
The Riverland as a whole is a thriving area when it comes to welcoming new people to the region, however, what we look to do at The Bugle Hut, is having locals from within the wider region look inward, to these tiny beautiful hidden gems; and put life back into areas, and buildings that would be otherwise unknown.
Providing a wealth of knowledge in the wedding and event space, Kiara is looking forward to opening the building in mid 2024 for all gatherings; whether it be intimate celebrations or large weddings. The Fishers’ cannot wait to welcome you into The Bugle Hut community; so you too can fall in love with the history, nature and the people who make it special today; over 100 years after it was originally built.
