Wicked Willies Jewellery: Dani, Abbi, Tracey, Melea & Hayley
A JEWEL OF
A JOURNEY
WORDS by Lisa Keller
FROM THE NORTHERN END OF MACROSSAN STREET, a soft
chime floats through the air - a hypnotic melody that subtly sings
to your heart. For passersby, it may appear simply as a melodic
soundtrack to your day in the tropics, but for those in the know,
these wind chimes represent the legacy of a couple and the profound
impact they had on this small town when they opened their jewellery
shop 25 years ago.
Today, Wicked Willie’s stands as an iconic fixture in the retail landscape
of Port Douglas. Its walls, covered from top to bottom in beautiful
jewellery, rare gemstones and eye-catching crystals have become a
favourite amongst both visitors and locals. But this story didn’t follow a
traditional path; instead, it was a serendipitous series of events that led
owner Tracey Flanagan and her late husband, Willie Harland, down this
jewel-lined path.
