Australian Country - April - May 2020

In dieser Ausgabe

In this issue, we again showcase the amazing diversity of the Australian countryside with stories from the coast to the outback. We start in Victoria, where we visit Virginia and Bernie McIntosh at their beautiful Romswood peony farm in the Macedon Ranges. Then we head to Gippsland, where George Manis and his partner, Robert Buchan, have restored a gorgeous cottage and garden in Korumburra. Next stop is Echuca, and historic Wharparilla homestead on the banks of the Murray River. In NSW we revisit artist Leeanne Crisp and her partner, chef and sculptor Janet Jeffs at their home and studios in the shearing shed and barn on Ballalaba, near Braidwood. We detour to the south coast where Christina Kennedy has devoted 20 years to creating a sensational native garden on Horse Island then travel to South Australia where Tania and Keith Norman seem to be living the dream with a home at Encounter Bay and houseboat Alexia on the Murray River. In Queensland we visit Doug Beattie at his historic home, Winnathoola in Roma and we profile the Mason family, who have created the landmark Smitten Merino label in Tasmania. Our fashion story looks to the coming cooler months with a session at the Hillbilly cider shed, the service feature heads to the heart of the home, the kitchen and reveals the latest news in appliances, fixtures and fittings. Our travel section kicks off a series about regions affected by the bushfires with a trip up the Bells Line of Road to Bilpin. Plus there’s lots of other decorating and lifestyle inspiration on every page.
