March Edition OUT NOW!

Our March edition is out now (from 1 March)! Pick up a free copy from key locations around the area, and letterbox delivery to selected Western suburb streets occurs beginning the 1st week of March.

This edition features running and hiking trails (as shown on our cover) in the North West Brisbane suburbs area, with an article courtesy of Katie Maclean from SEQ Runner. We also have another special feature story from Maurice Serico about Fishing with Nana. We hope you enjoy these special features.

Our regular columns include ‘For the Love of Books’ by volunteer writer Sarah Krause – including a free books giveaway from CT Mitchell, and ‘Col’s Chat’ is with Steve Williams – the man behind the local community event The Gap Soiree. The ‘Out and About’ column in back this month, featuring the Home Store Ashgrove.

Don’t miss our monthly fun Photo Quiz, guessing where Colin Bushell (photographer) has been this month with his camera.

And please support our local advertisers, community groups, and events.

Happy reading,

Mel + Kym
