Northcote Pottery - Australis Fire Pit

Northcote Pottery - Australis Fire Pit

Create a warm, rustic heart in your garden with the premium Northcote Pottery Australis Fire Pit. Showcasing a spectacular weathering steel construction, this large-capacity fire pit is engineered specifically for the open-air lifestyle of Australian backyards, rural properties, and spacious patios. With its generous bowl diameter, the Australis easily accommodates a roaring log fire, delivering incredible radiant warmth that naturally gathers friends and family together during crisp autumn evenings and cold winter nights.

Built with multi-functional utility at its core, the Australis features a robust, square ground-mount pedestal base that provides rock-solid stability on paved or gravel surfaces. The space-saving cavity built directly into the pedestal base serves as a highly convenient, integrated log and kindling storage bay when the fire pit is not in use, keeping your timber organised, dry, and off the ground. The weathering steel is designed to naturally oxidise when exposed to the elements, developing a deep, organic rust-coloured patina that seals and protects the steel underneath while maturing into a beautiful, earthy finish that blends seamlessly with native Australian flora.

Best For:

• Large Gathering Spaces: A superb choice for expansive backyards, country gardens, and open paved patios requiring a generous, high-output heating source.
• All-In-One Hearth Styling: Perfect for homeowners who appreciate neat, well-organised outdoor areas, thanks to the clever built-in firewood storage underneath the main bowl.
• Low-Maintenance Natural Design: A premier heating option for those seeking a durable, self-healing steel feature that grows more beautiful and characterful as the rust patina matures.

Features & Benefits:

• Large Burning Capacity: Features a wide, deep fire bowl designed to hold a generous volume of firewood logs, providing consistent, powerful warmth.
• Integrated Base Storage: Supported by a stable ground-mount pedestal that doubles as a clever, built-in storage zone to keep kindling and split logs dry and neatly stacked.
• Natural Weathering Steel: Engineered to oxidise over time, creating a gorgeous protective barrier of earthy rust tones that defends against structural decay.
• Sturdy Pedestal Design: Elevates the intense heat of the fire bowl safely away from the ground, ensuring maximum stability on uneven outdoor surfaces.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
