Is there anything more fun than a bush wedding? A white wedding in the bush will always have a little more dust around the hemline but Aussies have well and truly embraced the tradition of getting hitched in the country and all the traditions associated with it. And while most couples are happy to live together before getting married, most want to tie the knot – in a civil rather than religious ceremony – before having kids. Our cover story on country weddings is a must read for anyone contemplating a bush wedding or for anyone who’s ever been in love! This edition also includes a gallery of historic bush postcards from the turn of last century; the Simpson Desert racing carnival; and fishing the run-off in the Top End, the best time and place to bag a barra! There’s also a comprehensive Education feature that profiles boarding schools and other educational options for the young people of rural and regional Australia. Along with our usual favourites of Bush kids, Pubs, Dogs, Boots and more, there’s a special reader offer for Father’s Day: buy a subscription to OUTBACK with an R.M.Williams smart navy canvas bag and you’ll receive a big $35 off the retail prices.
