OUTBACK Magazine OUTBACK 118 Retour à l'édition précédente

Henry Lawson wrote to a friend back in 1902: “If you know Bourke, you know Australia”. Doubtless a few things have changed there since Lawson’s day, but as we see in the engagingly written and beautifully photographed cover story Back o’ Bourke in our new issue, the country out the back of that fabled western New South Wales town on the banks of the Darling River still holds much that is archetypally Australian. Contributor Mandy McKeesick takes a fine brush and a keen eye to the people and places of this region. Along with our favourites of Dogs, Boots, Bush kids, Bush weddings and more, other highlights of the edition include 90 years of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, Queensland’s waterfalls, a Merino resurgence, and the wonders of both King and Kangaroo islands.
