The winter editions of both Gippsland Country Life and Yarra Valley and Ranges Country life have both just hit the shelves!!
This week we have been madly distributing to newsagents and specialty stores and this round printed an extra 1000 copies of each mag.
This season we are dubbing the people's issue in the Yarra mag with profiles of actress Alison Whyte and Nurseryman Wes Fleming. We meet a Marysville couple who have rebuilt a contemporary prebuilt home and have the usual round up of local events and happenings across the region, as well as social pages.
Our Gippsland mag is truly a regional affair with stories coming to you from all over the region.
Meet Ursual and Werner Theinert Callignee artists who survived the Black Saturday bushfires and a dedicated couple from Bunyip who have renovated a cottage from the ground up.
This issue we visit three antique stores in Inverloch and visit the winter village of Dinner Plain.
I hope you enjoy the winter editions and see you in Spring.

Notes for contributors
Thank you to all of our contributors to these editions and please keep your story ideas coming.
I receive many requests (weekly) from Freelance Writers who would like to contribute stories. The best way is to flick me an email with your details, areas of interest, samples of your work and your rates. Also, an outline of the story you propose would be ideal. rebecca@clpublishing.com.au.
