OUTBACK Magazine OUTBACK 162 Back Issue

With thriving horticulture and pastoralism industries, and 2.4 million tourist visitor nights a year, Western Australia’s diverse Gascoyne region is an often forgotten powerhouse. This issue of OUTBACK takes a deep dive into the region, literally – with incredible whale sharks – and figuratively, with a sweeping feature on an incredible area that often doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Other highlights of the issue include successful community efforts to save the icon that is the Riverina’s historic Toganmain woodshed, indigenous trailblazer Paul Ah Chee, hat whisperer and Akubra repairer Becky-Jane Fortin, a culinary journey through Queensland’s Burnett region, and our perennial favourites of working dogs, bush weddings, bush kids and R.M.Williams boots.
