Two beautiful magazines in one - our biggest issue yet!

There’s always a moment, just before an issue goes out into the world, where I look at the final pages and think about all the conversations, emails, coffees, edits and little moving pieces that brought it together.

And this time, there were a lot of moving pieces.

Our Spring Issue is officially here, and it is our biggest issue of Mid-Western Living yet. It also flips to our much-loved Annual Wedding Issue, which means you are getting two beautiful magazines in one.

Inside, you’ll find local businesses doing clever and creative things, community stories that deserve to be celebrated, places to visit, people to meet and a whole lot of reasons to get out and enjoy what is right here on our doorstep.

Spring always feels like a fresh beginning in our region. The gardens wake up, weekends start filling with events, visitors return and there’s a lovely sense of energy in the air. This issue captures so much of that.

From small business stories and community pages to wedding inspiration, local venues, creatives, makers and regional gems, Issue 11 is a true celebration of the people and places that make this region so special.

Copies are now out across the region, so keep an eye out at your favourite café, shop, cellar door or local stockist.

As always, thank you for reading, sharing, collecting and supporting this little magazine that continues to grow into something far bigger than I ever imagined.
