Galah Issue 14

Galah is an independent print magazine documenting regional Australia and the people who live here. Three times a year we publish an award-winning magazine - it's more like a book than a mag - and in between, we work on making newsletters you actually want to read.

Regional Australia has so much more going on than droughts, floods and fires. Let Galah be your guide.

Galah's Issue 14 is our Friendship issue. 

Whether for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, friends are a lifeline in bad times, laughter in good times – the antidote for all life’s absurdities. In this issue, we talk to friends about the ties that bind them. We go gardening beside rivers and railway tracks, marvel at architectural modernism in the bush, investigate a little valley with big ambitions, and go hunting wild bees. We get obsessed with Taylor Swift, baby wombats and tiny museums. And handmade paper. Plus there’s a swag of Galah-inspired ideas, art, books and travel. And baby wombats.
