Winter just warmed up, with Perth vendor Sarah (and her handmade pals) on our cosy new cover! It’s all about community groups – the importance of connection, belonging and play, at a time when loneliness is affecting us more than ever.
These local legends are roller derby divas, leaving it all on the rink; they’re performers in Brisbane’s liberating Common People Dance Eisteddfod; they’re the kind and crafty folks behind Knit One Give One, the not-for-profit distributing woolly items to those in need.
Whatever the hobby, their purpose is the same – to bring people together for good causes and good times. Are you ready to get inspired and join in on the fun?
More highlights in this edition:
- Parenting, passion, violins: conductor André Rieu shares his Letter to My Younger Self
- Where do nudists go in winter? Revisit our 1999 cover story and find out
- Camp Cope bassist Kelly-Dawn Hellmrich on her riotous debut book
- And Raymond Tan goes bananas with his sweet Banana Milk Flan
