Australian Country Magazine Issue#16.4 July-Aug 2013 Back Issue

In this issue of Australian Country we’ve covered a big expanse of this vast country. We start in the northeast of Victoria with a visit to Brian and Kim Smith’s free-range Berkshire pig farm, then head to the Monaro region of NSW where three generations of sheep farmers have made their home near Nimmitabel and central-western Queensland where energetic fundraiser Alison Ray helps children in Africa. Our travel feature takes us to an equally remote and beautiful part of Australia, the Lost World Valley of the Gold Coast hinterland. We’ve lots of fascinating homes to profile, from a farmhouse in Sydney’s south-west to a summer house in the woods in Sweden. The approach of the cooler months has turned our thoughts to heating, so our service feature investigates the latest options, while our product pages look at ways to beat the winter blues. There are inspirational gardens, fascinating lifestyle stories and for foodies, a cache of recipes using oranges.
