My Word Products

My Word is an independent design and production company in Australia’s island State of Tasmania.

Tasmania has evolved from a grim penal colony into a relaxed, friendly and civilised society, aware of its colourful heritage and ready to share it with the world.

Eaglehawk Neck, on the way to Port Arthur, Tasmania

My Word researches Tasmanian and Australian history to produce a unique range of products: printed souvenir passports, certificates, posters and other gift items of outstanding quality.

One postcard irreverently illustrates Australian mainland jokes about “two-headed Tasmanians". Another, The Flash Mob, is the sole authenticated illustration of perhaps the world’s most audacious revolt by women convicts — some 400 of them bending over in bare-bottomed rebellion in front of the colony’s Governor.

My Word’s famous colonial-style Convict Broad Arrow T shirts are made from top quality brushed cotton, double-stitched to last (like a convict’s sentence) for a lifetime.

We can adapt existing products or design new ones to particular regional or corporate branding in any language. Products may be bought directly from us or our agents through this site.

Trade and distributor inquiries are welcome. Some national and regional distributorships are available.
