It all started in the middle of 2018.

I, Zachary Kohler founded Diamond K Country. DKC originated as an offshoot to my family's rural business, Moranbah Rural.

This is My Story...

I was raised on our family farm located just outside of Moranbah in Central Queensland. The property was only 1000 acres but to a young me, the few creeks, a small cave and patch of scrub where my brother and I would play hide and seek (which FYI, I would always win 😉) felt like a world of its own to explore.
However when we relocated to a 73,000 acre property in North Queensland, it was rapidly put into perspective.

My parents were hard working, small business owners. They owned both a machinery and earthworks business as well as the Rural store I mentioned earlier. They were dedicated, often never taking a day off (yes, Christmas included. Crazy, I know). All for their shared dream of one day owning a cattle station.

This dream became a reality in late 2011, purchasing a breeder block near Collinsville, QLD; their dream that was Sutherland Station.

In a sad turn of events, my Mum, Kym Kohler tragically lost her battle with cancer in late 2014 and things were never the same. We made the heartbreaking decision to sell the Sutherland Station in early 2018.

"She is the reason for the "K" in Diamond K Country, it's in memory of my Mum." - Zac Kohler

Watching my family change & struggle, made me realise how precious life is. It has hardened my resolve to live life to the fullest and to do as much as I can to make the world a better place.

THIS is why I created Diamond K Country.

I truly believe that business should be a force used for good; a way to not only create value for the owner but also for the people it serves. In addition to this, I wanted to give back to our community & non for-profit organisations.

Having personally been on the board of non for profits, I know how hard it can be to raise money from donations & sponsorship. People and businesses are hardly to blame; times are tough and there is only so much people can give.

This was enough to push me to try and create a business that benefits people by saving them money, enabling them to do more of what they love whilst supporting rural organisations.

It is early days still with plenty more work to do. DKC will never cease striving to better our already extensive range & impeccable service.

We want to be known for ‘thinking outside the box’.

This is already in motion through our unique ‘Partnership Program’ which provides non for profit organisations with another avenue for much needed income, enabling them to continue their amazing work within the community.

We are also very proud of our “Local Aussie Suppliers” (LAS) module.
How could we not boast? Our country has some very talented, everyday people living among us and we are honoured to work alongside them in their sales, encouraging the growth of their creativity. This is such an exciting time for us here at DKC!

We still have much in the works now and in the future; so many ideas we hope to make a reality for the benefit of everyone. So, make sure you stay tuned and keep an eye on what we are up to; we don’t want you to miss out as we aim to always provide you with value, now and into the future.
