Galah Magazine - Friendship

Galah is an independent cultural magazine documenting what's creative, interesting and original about regional Australia and the people who live here. Three times a year Galah Press publishes an award-winning magazine, but it's more like a book than a mag.

Galah's Issue 14 is the 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.
