The Sundown story began in 1995 where a delicatessen proprietor with a great passion for food in Australia’s Famous Victoria Market inadvertently stumbled on a new product that became known as a Semi Dried or oven roasted tomato. This new product was born from an attempt to produce a typical Sun dried tomato but inadequate drying gave the product a new distinct taste and texture like no other tomato product before. It wasn’t long before Australia embraced this product and it now consumes the most tonnage per capita in the world. His passion for the product drove him to new developments on driers, equipment and tomato varieties suitable for this new industry. Today Sundown Foods remains the largest exporter of Semi Dried Tomatoes in the Southern Hemisphere.

Provincial Home Living originated in Wangaratta's Reid Street early in 2002 where the Provincial founders owned a small store. Beginning as a hobby, the generic manchester store reopened it's doors with a fresh outlook on retail, bringing a new approach in homewares and furniture which was readily embraced. Following the success of the Wangaratta store, a site became available in Bendigo, then Ballarat and so the Provincial Home Living adventure really began. The journey continued through the years and country Victoria opening another seven stores. The concept of the products and the presentation was refined and then inroads were made into Melbourne, Canberra and Albury. In 2012 the first superstore was opened in Adelaide, followed by another in Mornington, Victoria. The opening of our first Sydney store in December 2013 and most recently the opening of two Brisbane stores in 2016. In just over 20 years Provincial Home Living has grown from one small country store to a large business with 35 stores across Australia and the aspiration to open more superstores.
