Best of Australia - Volume 1

Welcome to the first volume of ‘Best of Australia’, in which we celebrate this nation’s achievement in the fields of arts, fashion, design, business and innovation. The time is evidently ripe for this publication.

For one, there are plenty of good stories to tell. Consistent economic growth has created an environment where Australian companies and individuals are achieving remarkable things in their fields, creating novel forms of performing art, innovating new technologies, creating uniquely Australian fashion brands, and maintaining our well-deserved reputation for quality and excellence.

Secondly, ‘Best of Australia’ meets a need for what we call a collaborative marketing effort. Whether in the arts, fashion or business, a substantial amount of Australian achievement is internationally focused. In this publication, Australian achievers worked together to bring their unique stories to all corners of the earth. As publishers we also express our gratitude to all contributors for their support in the compilation of this publication. ‘Best of Australia’ will also go out to our associate publishers in the Global Village Partnerships network, from Dubai and Singapore to Europe and South Africa.
