OUTBACK Magazine OUTBACK 88 Back Issue

Few subjects in rural Australia polarise opinions as much as the topic of foreign ownership of our agricultural resources. The plethora of sales reported in recent years demonstrates that Australian farmland is undoubtedly hot property. Our comprehensive cover story on this issue looks at who owns what – as far as it is possible to tell – in a measured approach that takes in both sides of the debate. It’s essential reading for anyone who cares about the future development of our farmlands and agricultural supply chains.
This edition also includes the “Lady truckie” of South Australia, Lorene Whittam; one of Australia’s most beautiful drives south from Hobart to Cockle Creek in Tasmania; and a photo essay that captures the ongoing, proud tradition of sheep-dog trials.
